Pueblo, CO – Pueblo, Colorado, is bracing for a messy Spring storm this weekend, with snow and gusty winds impacting the region starting Saturday. As temperatures dip and precipitation increases, snow will start accumulating across the area, particularly in the higher elevations. Roads are expected to become slick, especially Friday night, with snow totals of up to 2 feet in localized mountain areas.
According to the National Weather Service, the heaviest snow will fall in areas like the eastern Sangre de Cristo Mountains and areas above 8,000 feet. Travel across the southern I-25 corridor could be hazardous, particularly for drivers heading into the southern parts of Pueblo County and along the Raton Mesa. For those planning to be on the roads, caution is advised, especially overnight when snow could blanket highways and cause dangerous driving conditions.
The storm is expected to continue through Saturday morning, with snow amounts tapering off by the evening. Winds will add to the challenge, gusting at times to 30 mph, creating blustery conditions and making it feel colder than the actual temperature. Lower elevations can expect around 1 inch of snow, with less accumulation at lower altitudes.
Looking ahead, the weather forecast for Pueblo suggests clearer skies starting Sunday, with temperatures rising into the 60s and 70s early next week. By Tuesday, expect mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing to a high of 76°F.
