Pueblo, Colo. – Scattered thunderstorms will continue across southern Colorado through Tuesday, bringing the highest risk of afternoon and evening storms to the Pikes Peak region, the Palmer Divide, and the Raton Mesa. Warm daytime highs in the 80s and 90s will combine with lingering monsoon moisture to keep the pattern unsettled.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, storm coverage may lessen slightly by midweek, though moisture returns later in the week and into the weekend. Isolated downpours could lead to brief flooding in low-lying or burn scar areas, while lightning and gusty winds remain the primary hazards.
Cities including Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Trinidad should prepare for afternoon delays on major roadways such as I-25 and Highway 50. Outdoor events and mountain recreation may also see interruptions due to quick-moving storms. Motorists are advised to avoid flooded roadways and check for flash flood warnings before traveling into canyon areas.
More widespread showers are expected to return by Friday, extending into the weekend. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates as conditions evolve.
