Pueblo, Colo. – Triple-digit heat may be gone, but Pueblo residents won’t get much relief as temperatures soar near 93 degrees Thursday. Hot afternoons will give way to storm chances Friday night that could complicate evening football games and weekend travel.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday stays sunny with highs in the lower 90s before cloud cover increases by evening. The pattern breaks down Friday when moisture returns, bringing a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Eastbound and northbound drivers on I-25 through Pueblo County should prepare for slick spots Friday night if storms develop.
Saturday keeps storm chances alive, with scattered showers possible through the afternoon and evening. While widespread flooding isn’t expected, sudden downpours may create temporary ponding in low-lying areas and minor delays on city streets. Calm winds Saturday provide some relief, but unstable air lingers through the weekend.
Residents are advised to limit outdoor activity during Thursday’s peak afternoon heat. Keep water handy, take breaks in shaded areas, and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest hours. For Friday and Saturday events, including high school football, plan for possible delays or weather interruptions.
Conditions gradually stabilize Sunday into Monday, with highs near the mid-80s and fewer storm threats. Still, officials urge Pueblo residents to check for late-week advisories before traveling or attending outdoor events.
