Weather in the Colorado Springs area is expected to be mostly sunny on Sunday, with a high near 62 according to the National Weather Service in Pueblo.

A northwest wind around 5-10 mph will be present, shifting south-southwest later in the day. Light snow returns to the Continental Divide today and tonight, with the focus area across the central mountains. 4 to 6 inches of new snow will be possible across the central mountains through tonight, while the peaks of the southwest mountains may see a total of 1 to 2 inches of new snow.

A cold front will push south across the eastern plains tonight, and as clouds lower with frontal passage there is a low chance of some light snow showers across Teller County and northern El Paso County between 7 PM and midnight. Any snow accumulations are expected to be very light, generally less than an inch and mainly on grassy surfaces.

Residents of the Pikes Peak region should expect clear and sunny skies on Thanksgiving Day, with temperatures in the low- to mid-30s, but the National Weather Service predicts light rain and snow showers in the days leading up to the holiday.

Colorado Springs could see some rain and snow showers as early as Sunday night, according to the weather agency. Chances of precipitation is about 30%, with new precipitation amounting to less of an inch.

Monday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high in the low 40s, but rain and snow are likely on Tuesday night and could continue through Wednesday. New snow accumulation should be less than half an inch, NWS predicts.

“Right now, were expecting about an inch of snow, in town, through Wednesday afternoon,” said meteorologist Michael Garberoglio. “As you go north towards, Monument Hill, we’re probably looking at 3 to 4 inches total.”

Teller County residents should expect 4 to 6 inches of snow through Wednesday, Garberoglio said, with higher totals near Pikes Peak.

“The top of Pikes Peak will probably see 8-10 inches,” he said.

Near the Continental Divide, snow activity will pick up late Monday and remain steady for most of the week, with Leadville expected to see 8-11 inches, according to the weather agency.

“As you go up toward the peaks in that area, we’re expecting amounts exceeding a foot to 18 inches,” Garberoglio said.
