Pueblo, CO – Snow showers and plummeting temperatures are set to grip Pueblo and southern Colorado starting Sunday, with an arctic air mass bringing bitter cold and potential road hazards through the week. Residents should prepare for icy conditions on major routes, including I-25, and subzero wind chills by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin Sunday afternoon across the central mountains, with 3 to 6 inches possible in higher elevations. Pueblo can expect lighter snowfall, with accumulations under an inch, but roadways may become slick. Monday night will bring a mix of rain and snow showers, with temperatures dropping into the low teens.
As arctic air settles in midweek, highs will struggle to reach the 20s, and wind chills could dip below zero. Motorists should exercise caution, particularly on I-25, as snow and ice may impact travel. Residents are urged to winterize homes and vehicles as the cold intensifies.
Snow showers may continue through Thursday, with the heaviest snowfall expected in the mountains. The National Weather Service advises staying updated on weather alerts and preparing for potentially hazardous conditions throughout the week.
