Colorado Springs is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the low 40s Wednesday morning, with a sunny Veterans Day afternoon ahead. The high should reach about 63 degrees, giving residents a mild stretch before a wetter weekend arrives.

Sunny Veterans Day Leads Into Mild Thursday

Wednesday will stay sunny with light winds, followed by a clear night and a low near 36 degrees. Thursday looks even warmer, with sunshine and a high near 66, while Friday should reach about 65 under mostly sunny skies.

The latest outlook from the National Weather Service keeps the Pikes Peak region dry through early Saturday. Early mornings will still feel wintry, with overnight lows generally in the 30s, so layers remain useful even when afternoon temperatures feel surprisingly friendly for November.

Showers Could Arrive Saturday Evening

Saturday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 58, but rain showers could move into lower elevations after 5 p.m.

That is a meaningful change from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which kept the weekend largely dry. Saturday night carries a chance of showers, while Sunday could see a few lingering showers before midday and a cooler high near 54.

Dry Weather Returns Before Another Late-Week Shift

Monday is expected to stay dry, with temperatures warming a few degrees. Tuesday could bring temperatures near 69, although a slight chance of rain showers returns after 5 p.m.

No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the area. For outdoor plans, Friday looks like the safest bet for warm, dry weather, while weekend events may need a jacket and a backup plan for passing showers.
