Pueblo, CO – Southern Colorado residents should prepare for frigid temperatures and snowfall as an Arctic air mass arrives Friday night. Meteorologists warn that high temperatures will remain below freezing through the weekend, while lows could drop to sub-zero in many areas by Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), accumulating snow is expected to begin late Friday, with the highest impacts along major routes like US 50 and I-25. Light snow showers may continue into Saturday, creating icy road conditions and hazardous travel. Drivers are urged to monitor weather updates and plan for delays if traveling during the weekend.
The coldest temperatures are forecast for Monday and Tuesday mornings, with sub-zero readings likely across the region. Wind chills could make conditions even more dangerous, especially in open areas or higher elevations. Residents are advised to protect outdoor pipes, ensure pets are indoors, and stock up on essential supplies ahead of the weekend storm.
The extended forecast predicts a slight warm-up midweek, with highs returning to the 40s by Wednesday and Thursday. However, snow and bitter cold will dominate the early part of the week, bringing the coldest conditions Southern Colorado has seen this winter.
Stay updated with the latest alerts from the NWS and take steps now to safeguard against the harsh weather.
