The city of Pueblo experiences an average of 1.0 hail event per year, placing it in a moderate-risk zone for hail damage to roofs, vehicles, and property. Pueblo's location on the eastern plains of Colorado subjects it to the atmospheric conditions that produce hail during the region's severe weather season.
