The first snowstorm of the season is arriving in southern Colorado.
10:00 a.m. Sunday | Winter Storm Warnings in effect until 6:00PM for parts of I-25 corridor.
Snow Totals coming in to the News5 Weather Center...
Heavy snow banding in the last hour will bump these totals up soon - Pueblo has seen a radar estimated 2" as you sit under what is effectively a thunderstorm with snow instead of rain. Similar heavy snow ongoing in Canon City. To share a measurement with us, email weather@koaa.com! To measure: ideally, use a snowboard. If you don't have one, find a surface you know is flat and smooth and ideally sheltered from the wind. Insert a ruler or yardstick perpendicular to the ground. If sending multiple measurements, mark the location with a flag or stake.
9:50A update: Heavy snow banding is continuing in the Springs-Pueblo area. Pueblo has seen around 2" of snow in just the past hour; Canon 0.5-1"!! There's a bit of convective instability with this storm system - (t-storm energy). That's creating these narrow, heavy, bands.#COwx pic.twitter.com/PCQCen762g
