Pueblo, Colo. – Heavy rainfall is expected to drench much of Colorado beginning Sunday, with the National Weather Service warning of flash flooding risks that could last well into next week. Daily storms fueled by monsoon moisture may drop several inches of rain across the state, raising concerns for both urban and rural flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, moderate to heavy rainfall is possible every day from Sunday through late next week, with the heaviest impacts likely over southern and central Colorado. Forecasters warn that any one storm could bring rainfall exceeding flash flood thresholds, especially in areas near burn scars and along mountain slopes.
Cities including Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Trinidad could see repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Low-lying roads and flood-prone intersections are at particular risk, and emergency managers urge residents to avoid driving through standing water. Mountain passes such as U.S. 50 and I-25 through southern Colorado may also see dangerous conditions if storms stall.
Residents are advised to monitor alerts closely, charge devices ahead of storms, and plan alternate routes if traveling. NWS officials caution that new advisories may be issued daily as moisture lingers into midweek.
