November has left a significant mark on the region with remarkable climate statistics, largely due to a powerful multi-day snowstorm that hit early in the month. This storm played a key role in breaking several weather records, especially in Pueblo.]
The city set a new record for the most precipitation ever recorded in November, with a total of 2.51 inches—2.04 inches above the monthly average. The previous record, 2.48 inches, had been set in 1991.
In addition, Pueblo saw a remarkable 46% of its annual snowfall in just one month, accumulating 13.1 inches of snow, which was 9 inches above the normal for November.
Colorado Springs also experienced notable weather. The city recorded 21.6 inches of snow, which was 17.2 inches above the normal snowfall for the month. The total precipitation for Colorado Springs reached 1.78 inches, making it the fifth wettest November on record. The multi-day snowstorm accounted for 80% of the city’s total annual snowfall in just November.
Other areas in Southern Colorado also experienced impressive precipitation totals. In Alamosa, November’s 0.71 inches of precipitation helped push the area to its second wettest year on record. If Alamosa records another 0.33 inches of precipitation by the end of the year, it will break its all-time yearly record.
Looking ahead, no major snowstorms are forecasted for the near future, and the FOX21 Storm Team is predicting a calm week as the region enters December.
