Colorado Weather: Pueblo Braces for 65 MPH Wind Gusts and Hail Today as Severe Storms Develop

Pueblo, Colorado – A dangerous severe weather situation is unfolding across the plains today, with storms expected to develop by mid-afternoon near the Palmer Divide. Residents should prepare for extreme hazards, including 2-inch hail and wind gusts reaching 65 mph, as the storm coverage and intensity increase through the evening hours.

According to the National Weather Service in Pueblo, there is also the potential for an isolated tornado as storms move south-southeast into the evening. The severe threat covers a broad area, and authorities are urging those with outdoor plans to remain weather-aware throughout the day.

The combination of high-velocity winds and large hail poses a serious threat to property and personal safety. If you are on the road this evening, be prepared for rapidly changing visibility and potentially hazardous conditions. Keep multiple methods of receiving emergency alerts active, as the situation remains dynamic. Monitor local radar for the specific movement of cells as they track across the eastern plains, and be prepared to take immediate shelter if a warning is issued for your area.
