Colorado Springs is starting Sunday in fog and mist, with temperatures around 36 degrees. Fog could make the early drive the biggest weather headache of the day.
The National Weather Service expects the fog to ease before 9 a.m., with skies turning mostly sunny and a high near 53. The agency's local forecast calls for light southeast winds, generally 0 to 10 mph, and no rain for the city Sunday.
Fog First, Sunshine Later
For anyone heading out early, the practical advice is simple: slow down, turn on headlights and leave extra room where fog is present. The forecast is a substantive change from Hoodline's previous Colorado Springs forecast, which centered on Saturday's fog and shower risk; the latest outlook puts the focus on Sunday morning fog followed by a drier afternoon.
Fog may return late Sunday night, especially between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., as temperatures fall to around 33. Monday should be mostly sunny and warmer, with a high near 59, so the week opens with a chilly overnight reset and a fairly pleasant afternoon.
Tuesday Brings The Warmest Afternoon
Tuesday is expected to be the warmest day in the near-term forecast, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 63. Wednesday and Thursday remain mostly sunny, with forecast temperatures in the 50-to-60-degree range.
Rain And Snow Chances Return Late Week
Friday stays mostly sunny for much of the day, with possible rain and snow showers. Saturday is forecast sunny, with a high near 51 degrees.
For Colorado Springs, the city forecast keeps precipitation chances low through Thursday, with the main planning concerns being overnight fog and chilly starts. Late-week outdoor plans may be worth keeping flexible as colder air moves in.
