Pueblo, CO – Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across much of Colorado today, though coverage may decrease in certain areas. However, residents of Pueblo and the surrounding regions should remain vigilant as storm intensity could increase, particularly north of Highway 50.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, the primary concern today will be excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding. The forecast indicates that while the storm coverage may be less widespread, the intensity of storms could still bring significant challenges. Areas east of Pueblo, especially in Kiowa County, are at heightened risk of severe weather.
Small hail and damaging winds are also possible in isolated storms, which could exacerbate the situation for those already dealing with heavy rainfall. The most intense storms are expected to hit areas north of Highway 50, where the threat of flash flooding remains the highest.
Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions, especially in flood-prone areas. The National Weather Service recommends monitoring local weather updates throughout the day as conditions could change rapidly.
