Residents near the Aspen Acres Burn Scar should prepare for debris flows and stay up to date with information from local authorities. Heavy rainfall could trigger flash flooding of low-lying areas and debris flows in and near recent wildfire burn scars. ADDITIONAL DETAILS - National Weather Service Meteorologists are forecasting heavy rainfall over the burn scar, which may lead to flash flooding and debris flows. - SOME LOCATIONS THAT MAY EXPERIENCE FLASH FLOODING INCLUDE - Beulah, San Isabel and Highways 165 and 78 in and around the Aspen Acres Burn Scar. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood ISSUED AT Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at 6:54 PM MDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Pueblo CO HEADER Flood Watch # PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS -------------------- You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Pueblo Vicinity/Pueblo County Below 6300 Feet, Wet Mountains Above 10000 Feet, Wet Mountains between 6300 and 10000 Feet Including the cities of Rye and Pueblo
There is a Slight Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...AND ALSO FROM THE ARKLATEX TO THE ARKLAMISS REGIONS SUMMARY Isolated to widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible tonight across parts of the central and southern High Plains, parts of Arkansas into the lower Mississippi Valley, and parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Central/southern High Plains Widely scattered strong to severe storms are ongoing this evening across parts of the central/southern High Plains. The most favorable environment resides from eastern CO into western KS, with moderate buoyancy and effective shear of 30-40 kt within a northwesterly flow regime. The strongest discrete cells in this area will continue to pose a threat of hail and localized severe gusts. Some modest clustering remains possible with time, which could result in at least an isolated severe-wind threat as convection spreads into western KS later tonight. Deep-layer flow/shear is generally weaker across the southern High Plains, but localized strong to severe gusts will remain possible within the well-mixed environment through at least dusk. AR into the Lower MS Valley Widespread deep convection from southeastern OK into central/southern AR may eventually evolve into a loosely organized, outflow-driven cluster with time this evening. This could result in a threat for scattered wind damage spreading into northern LA through the evening, with an isolated threat possible later tonight as storms approach the LA/MS Gulf Coasts. Midwest/Ohio Valley Scattered storms are ongoing from parts of Lower MI into parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley. The combination of moderate buoyancy and marginal deep-layer shear (generally 25-35 kt of effective shear) has only been supportive of an isolated severe threat thus far. No substantial improvement in the environment is expected through the evening, but ongoing storms may continue to pose an isolated severe threat before convection generally subsides later tonight.
Pollen Index: 9.9 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Ragweed, Chenopods and Sagebrush/Sage. Pollen concentrations for Thursday will be falling but will remain in the high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to lack of winds and expected precipitation in the morning and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
