Pueblo, CO – The morning begins in near silence, muffled by dense fog and 24°F air blanketing the Arkansas Valley. Headlights flicker faintly through the mist as frost coats car roofs and open fields glint white beneath the weak dawn light.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, visibility in parts of Pueblo and El Paso Counties may drop to less than ¼ mile, especially through I-25 and Highway 50 corridors. Commuters should slow down, use headlights, and allow extra travel time. The fog is expected to lift by midmorning as sunshine breaks through and temperatures climb toward 34°F.
Though the day will clear, the cold lingers. Lows will dip into the teens again tonight, keeping frost and possible black ice risks high for early drivers Friday. By the weekend, a light warming trend develops — highs rise into the mid-40s under mostly sunny skies. For now, Pueblo remains dry, with no snow in the immediate outlook, but mountain areas north of town could see fresh snowfall Friday into Sunday.
Residents should continue to protect outdoor pipes, pets, and plants from the early December freeze, and expect another stretch of frosty mornings through early next week.
