Pueblo, Colo. – Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to rattle parts of southern Colorado this afternoon, bringing hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain to cities along the I-25 corridor.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, storm activity will begin over the mountains and push east into the plains by late afternoon. Areas from Trinidad to Colorado Springs face the highest risk for intense weather, especially near major travel routes like I-25. Highs will remain in the lower to mid-60s, with cloudy skies and periods of rain throughout the day.
Communities in Pueblo, Canon City, and Walsenburg could see frequent lightning, while stronger cells may deliver hail and damaging wind gusts. Drivers should use caution on wet roads and avoid low-lying areas prone to flash flooding. Residents are urged to charge devices and monitor local alerts in case of power outages or emergency updates.
Conditions are expected to improve late tonight, with drier air moving in before another round of storms Tuesday. Weather warnings may be extended, so stay alert through the evening hours.
