Pueblo, CO – Southeastern Colorado braces for heavy snow and bone-chilling temperatures this week, with up to 6 inches of snow expected along the I-25 corridor, including Pueblo, by Thursday morning. Dangerous wind chills, potentially dipping to -5°F, threaten frostbite in as little as 30 minutes.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will continue overnight and into Tuesday, gradually decreasing by dawn. Additional snowfall between 1-2 inches is expected in Pueblo, with higher totals north of Highway 50. Commuters along I-25 should expect icy roads and reduced visibility, prompting officials to urge caution during travel.
Temperatures will remain frigid through Thursday, with daytime highs in the teens and 20s and nighttime lows below zero. Wind chill values will make it feel even colder, especially across the eastern counties. Residents are advised to limit time outdoors, dress in layers, and prepare vehicles for winter conditions.
A slight warm-up is forecasted by Friday, with temperatures climbing to near 57°F by the weekend as the arctic front retreats. Until then, Pueblo and surrounding areas face challenging winter conditions, making preparedness essential.
