Pueblo, CO – An Arctic front is set to bring heavy snow and subzero temperatures to Pueblo starting Friday night. Residents are urged to prepare for hazardous travel conditions, especially along the I-25 corridor, with accumulating snow expected through Saturday evening.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snowfall will likely begin late Friday and intensify overnight into Saturday morning. Total snow accumulation is expected to reach several inches, with gusty winds causing reduced visibility. Temperatures are forecast to plummet, with daytime highs below freezing and nighttime lows dipping into the single digits. Wind chills could drop to dangerous levels, especially Sunday and Monday mornings.
NWS advises residents to plan ahead by packing emergency supplies, avoiding unnecessary travel during peak snow periods, and monitoring the latest updates on weather and road conditions. Travelers should exercise caution, as icy roads and reduced visibility are expected to make driving hazardous.
The extended forecast shows mild conditions on Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the 40s and mostly sunny skies. However, by Friday night, temperatures will drop sharply as snow moves in. Saturday’s high will struggle to reach 24 degrees, and snow could persist into Sunday before tapering off.
Residents should prepare for extreme cold early next week, with lows nearing zero and high chances of widespread frost. Officials stress the importance of checking on neighbors, pets, and vulnerable individuals during the Arctic blast.
