Pueblo, CO – A strong winter storm will hit Colorado early next week, bringing heavy snow and strong winds. The Palmer Divide is expected to see the worst conditions, with wind-driven snow creating hazardous travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, the storm remains over the Pacific but will arrive by Monday night. Forecasters expect wind gusts over 50 mph across southeast Colorado, reducing visibility and making travel dangerous. A rain-to-snow transition could impact parts of the plains early Tuesday.
Temperatures will drop sharply, increasing snowfall totals. A slight storm shift could change snowfall amounts. Residents should monitor forecasts and prepare for hazardous commutes Monday night and Tuesday.
Officials urge drivers to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel. March is typically one of the most active winter months, and this storm could bring significant disruptions.
