Pueblo, CO – A dangerous stretch of mid-August heat will grip Pueblo starting Wednesday, with highs pushing into the upper 90s and little overnight relief. Wednesday’s high is expected to reach 97°F, followed by 99°F Thursday, creating an elevated risk for heat-related illness.
According to the National Weather Service, light morning breezes will shift to southeast winds by afternoon, adding to the dry conditions. Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Thursday will likely mark the week’s hottest day, but temperatures will remain near 98°F Friday before a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops late in the day. Even with possible clouds Friday evening, overnight lows will only dip into the low 60s, keeping heat stress a concern.
Those attending outdoor events or working outside should plan for shaded breaks and carry extra water. Cooling centers may open if heat advisories are issued later this week.
