Pueblo, CO – Colorado will experience near-normal temperatures on Sunday, but mountain areas should prepare for strong storms in the afternoon. These storms will bring gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and possible small hail.
According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, storms are expected in the high country between 2 and 8 p.m. The main risks include small hail, wind gusts reaching up to 45 mph, frequent lightning, and heavy rain.
Cities like Salida, Gunnison, Aspen, and Trinidad are likely to experience localized downpours, while Pueblo, Canon City, and La Junta will have highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, with only a few isolated storms.
Travelers in mountain regions should be cautious about slippery roads and sudden drops in visibility. It’s a good idea to pause outdoor activities when storms approach and seek shelter indoors at the first sign of lightning. It’s also recommended to charge your devices before heading out, as power outages are possible due to strong wind gusts.
By Monday and Tuesday, temperatures across Colorado are expected to rise slightly above normal, increasing the chances of more widespread storms. Cooler air is expected to return by midweek, and additional weather advisories could be issued if conditions change. Stay updated as storm developments continue.
