Colorado Springs is starting Monday with clear skies, dry air and temperatures in the mid-40s, but the afternoon has a distinctly warmer plan: sunshine and a high near 70 degrees. The early north-northwest breeze should ease as the day goes on, making it one of the mildest afternoons of the week.

The National Weather Service expects no rain or snow across the area through the weekend. The latest outlook nudges Monday and Tuesday warmer than an earlier Hoodline forecast, with both days now projected to reach about 70 degrees.

Warm Monday And Tuesday, Cooler Veterans Day

Monday will stay sunny with winds generally between calm and 10 mph, while Monday night turns mostly clear with a low near 39. Tuesday should be mostly sunny and similarly warm, followed by a dry cool front late in the day that may bring breezier conditions into Tuesday night.

Veterans Day on Wednesday will still be pleasant but cooler, with sunshine and a high near 61. Winds should ease and shift during the day, while overnight temperatures fall back into the mid-30s.

More Sunshine Through The Weekend

The mild pattern returns Thursday with a sunny high near 65, followed by Friday near 66 and mostly sunny skies. Saturday and Sunday should remain mostly sunny, with highs around 66 and 64, respectively, and only a minimal chance of precipitation.

The main catch is after dark, when lows remain mostly in the upper 30s. A light jacket will still be useful for early commutes and evening plans, even while afternoons briefly make November feel like it misplaced spring.
