COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A soft sunrise washes over Pikes Peak as Colorado Springs wakes to a crisp 35°F, a serene start that foreshadows colder air poised just beyond the high country. After a pleasant, mild weekend, southern Colorado is set to pivot toward stronger winds and cooler days, marking the area’s first true turn toward late-fall weather.
The National Weather Service in Pueblo expects sunshine to stick around Monday, but an upper-level disturbance will stir up northwest winds by late morning, with gusts reaching 25 to 30 mph. Afternoon highs near 65°F will feel cooler thanks to the dry air and persistent breeze. In the system’s wake, a colder push slides south, trimming Tuesday’s highs into the mid-50s while overnight temperatures dip to around the freezing mark.
From Monument down through Pueblo along I-25, secure lightweight outdoor items and anticipate a breezier commute. Gardeners and pet owners should plan for patchy frost early Tuesday, especially in low-lying spots and open fields west of town.
Conditions settle by Wednesday as winds ease and sunshine holds, bringing highs back near 60°F—ideal for Halloween-week decorating or wrapping up late-season yard work. Trick-or-treaters on Friday can expect a crisp but comfortable evening in the upper 40s under clear skies.
After a stretch of golden autumn days, November’s cooler cadence is beginning to settle in.

– Sat: 69/38 — Sunny; tranquil start with a gentle northerly breeze later.
