Pueblo residents will experience a sharp temperature drop as a cold front moves through the state on Friday, Oct. 23. The city is set to see a high of 80 degrees, marking the end of a warm spell before weekend highs fall into the 50s.
The forecast shows a low of 52 degrees for Pueblo on Friday. Morning temperatures will start in the 50s, with clouds breaking to allow sunshine and afternoon warming. The front is expected to increase cloud cover and generate storms farther south. Rain chances on the south side of Pueblo are estimated at 10% to 20% on Friday, rising over the weekend.
Along Interstate 25, sunshine is expected to appear around 10 a.m. as morning clouds clear. The advancing front may support thunderstorms farther east and along the southern portion of the interstate. Colorado Springs is forecast to reach a high of 73 degrees and a low of 47. Temperatures will fall as the front moves through Friday and into Saturday morning, limiting Saturday highs to the 50s.
Canon City may see a few afternoon showers, though most locations will remain dry. Rain chances there are around 20% to 30%, with a high of 75 and a low of 49.
