Pueblo, CO – Colorado’s high country faces snow and gusty winds today, with snowfall expected to cover areas around the central mountains, Palmer Divide, and Teller County. Mountain travelers should prepare for potentially hazardous conditions due to strong, wind-driven snow. Meanwhile, much of the plains will experience sunny, dry weather with temperatures reaching the mid-50s, ideal for travel but windy conditions may impact outdoor plans.

According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, snow will start over the Continental Divide by noon, persisting into early Wednesday morning. Snow accumulation may vary, but drivers in elevated areas should exercise caution. Wind speeds are expected to increase from 10-15 mph in the morning to gustier conditions by late afternoon, which could reduce visibility, especially near mountain passes.

For residents of Pueblo and the surrounding plains, a sunny day with mild temperatures around 56°F is anticipated. Winds will shift from a light 5 mph breeze in the morning to 10-15 mph westward winds by afternoon, making for pleasant but breezy conditions. As the week continues, temperatures are set to cool, with Wednesday’s high around 47°F, followed by continued sunny weather and highs nearing 60°F on Thursday and Friday.

By the weekend, forecasts indicate a chance of rain and snow showers Sunday night, with temperatures dipping into the high 20s. Travelers heading through mountain areas or higher elevations this weekend should check local forecasts and prepare for possible wintry conditions.
