Pueblo hail storm history
Pueblo County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Pueblo County experiences regular hail activity as part of Colorado's broader hail corridor, driven by the interaction of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico with the steep terrain of the Rocky Mountain Front. The city of Pueblo sits in a zone where spring and early summer conditions consistently favor hailstone formation, making hail damage a recurring concern for homeowners in the area.

April and August also see elevated hail activity, extending the window of risk on either side of the peak season. Storms in this region typically develop in the afternoon and evening hours and can produce hail across a wide geographic area as they move across Pueblo County.
