DENVER – Cooler temperatures and snow at higher elevations just weeks away from the start of fall season can only mean one thing, Colorado: The end of summer is nigh.

That much was apparent not just here in the Denver metro after temperatures plunged 15 degrees compared to Thursday, but across peaks in the higher elevations – including at the summit of America’s Mountain.

“A snowy scene is playing out atop Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain, as Summer 2025 creeps toward a close!” said a spokesperson for the City of Colorado Springs on social media earlier Friday.

And creeping it is! A strong cold front raced across the Denver metro overnight, bringing gusty winds, scattered storms and much cooler temperatures, according to Denver7 chief meteorologist Lisa Hidalgo.
