Pueblo, Colorado – Thunderstorms and scorching 99°F heat are expected to collide across southern Colorado Monday, July 28, bringing sudden downpours and gusty winds to areas like Pueblo by late afternoon. Residents are urged to plan outdoor activities and road travel carefully, especially along U.S. Highway 50, where wet pavement and reduced visibility could develop.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, the threat begins Monday afternoon as isolated storms form over the region’s higher elevations and drift eastward. Lightning, brief downpours, and wind gusts up to 45 mph are possible by evening across Baca, Prowers, and Pueblo counties. Monday night will stay warm, with lows around 64°F and storms potentially lingering past midnight.
Storm coverage expands Tuesday through Thursday, fueled by increasing monsoonal moisture.
