Pueblo, CO – Colorado could see a taste of winter next week as a colder, wetter storm approaches the Rockies, with forecasters increasingly confident that accumulating snow will occur along parts of the Continental Divide.
The National Weather Service in Pueblo said early Tuesday that an active weather pattern is possible Monday through Wednesday, Oct. 12 14. Temperatures are expected to turn cooler, while conditions become wetter and windier.
Confidence is increasing that mountains along Colorado's Continental Divide will see accumulating snow. However, forecasters said the storm's exact track, strength and timing remain uncertain, meaning snowfall amounts and the extent of precipitation cannot yet be determined.
The potential for snow comes as Colorado moves deeper into October, and forecasters stressed that winter weather at this point in the season is not unusual, especially in the mountains .
The storm itself could have a broader footprint across the central Rockies. Depending on its eventual track, colder and unsettled conditions could extend into neighboring portions of the region. However, the Pueblo forecast currently provides the clearest support for accumulating snow in Colorado, and it is too early to determine whether significant snow will extend into neighboring states.
Uncertainty is particularly high east of Colorado's mountains. The NWS said southeast Colorado's plains could range from warm, windy and dry to showery, cooler and wet depending on where the storm ultimately tracks.
A frost or freeze will also be possible next week across portions of southeast Colorado's lower elevations. Residents tending sensitive plants are encouraged to monitor the forecast.
No snowfall totals have been issued with this outlook. Readers should expect greater detail on the storm's track, mountain snowfall and potential impacts as the system gets closer to Colorado.
