Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
952 AM MDT Tue May 6 2025

Widespread rainfall of 2 inches or more over the next 24 hours will
result in rises for area rivers and streams through the remainder of
the week.

Flooding is anticipated for locations along the Arkansas River,
between Pueblo and La Junta, and for the Purgatoire River near Las
Animas. Flooding for these locations is anticipated to begin in the
morning hours on Wednesday, May 7.

While flooding is not anticipated for other streams at this time,
rises and hazardous flow conditions can still be expected for
Fountain Creek, St. Charles River, Huerfano River, Cucharas River,
Apishapa River and other area streams, in addition to other
locations along the Arkansas River and Purgatoire River.

Swift flowing water and unstable stream banks pose a hazard for
those near area streams. Heed any directives and orders from law
enforcement and local emergency management, and never attempt to
drive over flooded roadways!
