Colorado Springs, Colo. – Thunderstorms will continue to pop up across southern Colorado through early next week, bringing lightning, small hail, and gusty winds up to 50 mph that could impact travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, scattered storms are expected each afternoon and evening through at least Friday, with the strongest activity arriving Sunday and Monday. A couple of strong to severe storms may develop across the plains Sunday afternoon, producing damaging winds and large hail.
Localized flooding could become a concern by Wednesday as repeated rounds of rain bring the potential for flash flooding, particularly along the Continental Divide, mountain valleys, and the I-25 corridor from Pueblo to Colorado Springs.
Drivers should be alert for slick roads, sudden downpours, and reduced visibility. Outdoor plans, including high school football games and Labor Day weekend events, may face delays or cancellations if storms intensify. Officials advise residents to secure outdoor items, avoid flooded areas, and monitor local updates.
The storm risk is expected to last into Friday, with the highest chance of flooding midweek. Additional advisories could be issued as conditions evolve.
