This week: A quiet week continues for Southern Colorado, with high temperatures remaining 5-10° above average mid-October standards. Aside from a weak cold front on Tuesday that will drop overnight lows into the upper 30s, the forecast remains mild and dry. The chance of rain remains low with a patchy shower visible outside on Monday.

Friday and this weekend: There is great uncertainty ahead of a strong fall storm that will take shape on Friday. The exact path of the storm will determine the potential impacts for southern Colorado. What we do know is that a cold front will move south sometime Friday, ushering in a much cooler start to the weekend. Rain, snow and thunderstorms are all possible in far eastern Colorado, but it is too early to determine exactly when and where in southern Colorado. As the storm takes a more northerly track, moisture chances will decrease significantly beyond Friday night for Springs and Pueblo.
