Colorado Springs and Pueblo are starting the week under a cold front, with highs today expected to hold in the 50s and 60s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through much of the day in areas along and east of I-25, where isolated hail and gusty winds are also possible.
The mountains are expected to stay in the 40s with snow, while the Southeastern Plains remain warm and mostly dry even as fire danger persists there today. Tomorrow keeps the lower elevations cool in the 50s and 60s, with more chances for rain along and east of I-25 and snow in the High Country mainly in the afternoon. Wednesday is expected to stay in the 50s and 60s before temperatures warm into the 60s and 70s on Thursday and surge into the 80s from Friday through the weekend, with afternoon and evening showers and storms continuing through the warmer stretch.
The pattern is a sharp split across southern Colorado. Mountain communities are the ones most likely to see accumulating snow during the period covered by the forecast, while the plains stay dry enough in places to keep the fire threat in view. That mix of cool air, rain chances and then fast warming is exactly what makes this week’s colorado springs weather worth watching: the shift is real, but it is not the same shift everywhere.
For people in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and communities along I-25, the practical answer is simple. Today is the cool, unsettled day. Tomorrow stays cool with more moisture in the forecast. Midweek holds steady before the region turns much warmer late in the week, and the return to 80s brings back the kind of afternoon and evening storm chances that can change plans fast.
