A sharp temperature drop is set to hit Pueblo on Friday, October 23. The city will see a high of 80 degrees, but Saturday's high is forecast to be in the 50s. That is a 30 degree plunge in just 24 hours. Rain chances will also rise over the weekend.
Morning temperatures in Pueblo will start in the 50s. Clouds will break up to allow sunshine and afternoon warming. A cold front moving from the west will bring more cloud cover. It will also help generate storms farther south. On the south side of Pueblo, the chance of rain Friday is between 10% and 20%. That number will grow during the weekend.
Sunshine is expected to return along Interstate 25 around 10 a.m. The front may support thunderstorms farther east. A few storms could form along the southern part of the interstate. Colorado Springs will see a high of 73 and a low of 47. As the front moves through Friday and into Saturday morning, temperatures will fall.
Canon City has a 20% to 30% chance of a few afternoon showers. Its high will be 75 and its low 49. Most other locations are expected to stay dry. Woodland Park will hit 58 with a low of 39. Afternoon clouds will follow earlier sunshine.
Monument and the Tri-Lakes area will reach 69 with a low of 43. Walsenburg and Trinidad will hit 73 and 74, respectively. Both cities will see lows of 49. Friday is forecast to be their warmest day for the next week. Their weekend highs will drop into the 50s.
Thunderstorms may return to the eastern plains by Friday evening. Afternoon temperatures there will be in the 70s and 80s. Mountain highs will sit in the 60s with lows in the 30s. Lingering moisture and flooding remain concerns in southwestern Colorado. Water levels there may take time to recede.
Conditions are expected to calm down next week. Sunshine and partly cloudy skies are forecast. Temperatures will gradually warm into the 60s. The preliminary outlook for Halloween calls for dry weather and temperatures in the 50s and 60s. That forecast could still change.
