Pueblo, Colorado – A renewed threat of severe weather targets Colorado’s far eastern plains as a stretch of warm, dry days settles in elsewhere across the state. Motorists from La Junta to the Kansas line should brace for isolated afternoon and evening storms through Tuesday, with the potential for gusts up to 60 mph and hail up to two inches.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, the high country and adjacent mountain plains will stay mostly sunny, while areas east of I-25 could see scattered thunderstorms—some possibly severe. The main risk zone stretches eastward from La Junta, where storms may bring damaging winds and large hail, especially late Monday into early Tuesday.
Communities like Lamar, Springfield, and Eads are in the spotlight for possible power outages, downed branches, and hazardous travel. Drivers are urged to watch for sudden changes in weather and avoid flooded roads. Residents should secure loose outdoor items and have devices charged in case of outages.
A gradual drying trend is expected to continue through midweek, with little relief from above-normal temperatures. More advisories may follow if storms intensify.
