Freezing Fog Advisory Limits Visibility Along Southern Colorado’s I-25 Until 9 A.M. MST

Rapid clearing by midday follows the retreat of a shallow backdoor front.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service in Pueblo issued the advisory at 7:19 a.m. MST, effective until 9:00 a.m., for stretches of the I-25 corridor including parts of El Paso and Pueblo counties.
  • Forecasters warn of localized visibility of a quarter mile or less in freezing fog with patchy slick spots possible, especially near steam generation sources such as power plants.
  • Local reports note impacts along I-25 extending into Huerfano and Los Animas counties, with fog and low clouds steadily lifting through the morning.
  • Conditions are expected to improve quickly with skies clearing around noon and afternoon highs warming into the 50s across much of southern Colorado.
  • Relative humidity is forecast to fall below 20% Sunday afternoon in parts of the region, though minimal winds should limit near-term wildfire spread risk.
