Pueblo, CO – Residents in southern Colorado should prepare for severe thunderstorms, especially along Highway 50, starting Saturday afternoon. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a weather advisory, warning of a 60% chance of storms and the possibility of large hail and damaging winds. These storms may particularly affect areas along the Colorado/New Mexico border, with threats increasing by the afternoon.
According to the NWS, this severe weather is tied to a cold front passing through the region. The timing and intensity of these storms remain uncertain, but the most severe conditions are expected near the border. Travel could be disrupted, and residents should monitor local updates.
Meanwhile, in the higher elevations above 11,000 feet, including Pikes Peak, snow accumulation of up to six inches is forecasted for Saturday night into Sunday. Those traveling through mountain passes should exercise caution, with snow likely at elevations above 10,000 feet.
