Trying to find specific coverage of Pagosa Springs weather can be difficult since Pagosa’s location is far removed from mainstream weather coverage. Fortunately, options exist to find accurate and up-to-date forecasts for the area.
Due to Pagosa being located in southwestern Colorado and 150 miles away from the nearest National Weather Service (NWS) office, it is difficult to get accurate weather information for the area. The Grand Junction NWS office is responsible for Pagosa Springs Colorado but they also cover all of Western Colorado, Eastern Utah and the I-70 corridor. This is a very large area to cover. Without local news stations, the closest tv coverage is from New Mexico and seldom inclues Pagosa and southwestern Colorado. Fortunately for Pagosa Springs and all of Archuleta county, PagosaWeather.org and its team provides valuable weather data and forecasts.
For the Durango Colorado area, Durango Weather Guy is a good source for local weather reports and information.
