Are you tired of Colorado weather shattering records yet? Well, here’s some more in case you aren’t.

Preliminary data from the National Weather Service shows it was the warmest winter on record for Colorado Springs and Alamosa, continuing a pattern of record-setting weather.

The meteorlogical winter calendar runs Dec. 1-Feb. 28.

While temperatures have been sizzling, southern Colorado finally got more reprieve Tuesday night. The Weather Service recorded around an inch of rain for southern Colorado overnight, with El Paso County seeing most of it.

A hop and a skip away to Woodland Park on Tuesday night into Wednesday would take you into what feels like a winter wonderland in comparison. According to the Weather Service snowfall reports, there was around 4.8 inches of snow.

Morning commuters were also welcomed with the sparkling, freshly powdered mountains of Pikes Peak. America’s Mountain saw around 12 inches of snow overnight, according to a snow report from OpenSnow.

Double-digit snowfall totals are likely on some Colorado peaks before the weekend hits.

What did winter look like for parts of southern Colorado?

On average, the Colorado Springs winter temperature was 38.2 degrees, which is 6 degrees above normal. This surpasses the previous warmest winter of 1933-1934, when the average was 37.6 degrees.

Even though it may feel like there wasn’t much snow this winter, meteorologists are saying otherwise.

Despite the above-average temperatures, the Weather Service’s preliminary data indicates Colorado Springs saw “above normal” rain and snow this winter.

Weather Service numbers show the city recorded 1.43 inches of rain, .59 inches above normal, this winter. That made it the 18th wettest winter in history. For snow, the city recorded 21.3 inches, which is 7.7 inches above normal.

In Pueblo, the Weather Service says it was the city’s third hottest winter. At, 1.43 inches of precipitation, it was the 32nd wettest winter on record. This pales in comparison to the 2023-2024 record of 3.11 inches. Snowfall was 1.3 inches below normal.

Alamosa also saw its warmest recorded winter. The city saw an average of 28.4 degrees, which is 8.6 degrees above normal. The Weather Service says this “crushed” the previous warmest winter of 1994-1995 when the average winter temperatures was 26.4 degrees.

The Pikes Peak region continued its trend of breaking records Tuesday night.

According to Meteorologist Casey Dorn of Gazette news partner KOAA, the storm system broke the daily rainfall record for March 3, with 0.74 inches of rain recorded at the Colorado Springs Airport. That breaks the previous 1899 record of .34 inches. The airport in Pueblo also set a daily record.

According to the Weather Service, above-seasonal temperatures are expected to continue.

For spring, meteorologists from the U.S. Climate Prediction Center are predicting that the temperature and precipitation outlook this spring “leans” to above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation across south-central and southeast Colorado.

Those temperatures are kicking in right away, with Weather Service meteorologists forecasting temperatures to be around 55 degrees during the day in Colorado Springs for the rest of the this week. Despite this, snow is also on the Friday forecast, even if it isn’t much.

Here’s a look:

Thursday: Mostly sunny skies, with a high near 65 degrees. There’s a slight chance for snow and snow Thursday night as skies become cloudy and temperatures drop to around 29 degrees. Snow accumulation is expected to be less than an inch.

Friday: Snow showers are “likely” in the day, with a high near 42 degrees. Friday night also has a good chance for snow, with a low of around 20 degrees. New snow accumulation is expected to be less than an inch.

Saturday: Sunny skies return, with a high near 51 degrees. Saturday night will be clear, with a low around 27 degrees.

Sunday: More sunny skies, with a high near 65 degrees. Sunday night will be clear, with a low around 34 degrees.

What’s the deal with all this warmth?

The heat was part of a winter that was anything but typical.

According to Dorn, there have been at least 28 days at or above 60 degrees in Colorado Springs since Dec. 1. Meteorological winter runs from Dec. 1 through the end of February. The 28 days are the most on record.

“The culprit is a potent and unusually persistent ridge of high pressure over the western United States,” Dorn said. “In a La Niña pattern, a ridge like this is not unexpected. But this winter’s high-pressure system has been positioned farther east and has been far more consistent than in a typical La Niña year.”
