Southern Colorado Warms Into 70s and 80s Today as Friday Expected To Be Warmest

A blocking ridge over the northern Rockies is driving a brief late-September warm spell.

Overview

  • Sunny skies return Thursday with highs in the 70s and 80s across the Plains, including Colorado Springs near 77, Pueblo around 82, and Canon City about 80, with the mountains in the 60s to low 70s.
  • Friday is forecast to be the peak of the warmup, running about 5–8 degrees above average with widespread 70s and 80s.
  • Nights stay on the chilly side, with lows generally in the 30s for mountain valleys and 40s for many lower elevations, and some low 50s on the Plains.
  • Saturday looks mostly sunny and dry, then Sunday brings a slight chance of afternoon and evening showers in the Plains and a better chance for scattered mountain rain with possible high‑elevation snow.
  • Moisture increases this weekend as Pacific energy feeds into the Four Corners, keeping shower chances focused on the High Country while the I‑25 corridor remains largely dry into early next week.
