Pueblo, CO – A storm system moving across Colorado is bringing snow and high winds to Pueblo, creating dangerous travel conditions and posing a risk to outdoor activities. As of today, residents and travelers can expect gusts up to 50 mph and snowfall continuing into Wednesday, April 2nd.
According to the National Weather Service, high winds are expected to remain a significant concern throughout the day and evening, particularly on highways and roads outside city limits. Wind gusts could reach up to 45 mph, and snow accumulation will make driving even more hazardous. The combination of strong winds and blowing snow is expected to reduce visibility on Interstate 25 and other regional roadways, making travel risky.
The snow will persist into tomorrow, with up to 6 inches possible in Pueblo and surrounding areas by late Wednesday. Travelers are advised to prepare for slick roads, possible delays, and to avoid unnecessary travel during the peak storm hours.
