KEY MESSAGES

- Near to just above average temperatures and dry conditions are expected through this weekend.

- Breezier winds return Sunday into Monday, however fire weather conditions are not anticipated at this time.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 202 AM MST Sat Nov 7 2026

Another beautiful day is on deck as we sit firmly under high pressure aloft, bringing partly sunny skies with a few passing high clouds. These high clouds may hamper highs today, keeping them slightly cooler then what could be. Even so, expect high temperatures to top out slightly above average for this time of year. Locations along and west of the Laramie Range will see highs climb into the low 50s while many locations along and east of the I- 25 corridor will see highs soar into the low 60s, possibly approaching the mid 60s across the Nebraska Panhandle. Lows tonight will bottom out into the low 30s as skies clear and radiational cooling takes place, a few colder spots may see lows dip into the upper 20s. Winds will pose no threat as we continue to sit under the influence of high pressure, expect mainly calm winds today for many locations across the CWA. As we head into Sunday, more of the same as the ridge axis aloft sits firmly over our forecast area. This will set the stage for another warm day, warmer then Saturday, with highs topping out in the mid 50s to low 60s along and west of I-25 and low 60s to upper 60s east of the corridor. With a few locations in far eastern Wyoming and in the Nebraska Panhandle having the chance of hitting 70. Another thing regarding Sunday compared to days past, it will be a bit windier, especially in our wind prones. The mid-level flow will ramp up with 700 mb westerly winds increasing into the 35 to 45 knot range. With ample subsidence, negative Omega (GFS), these breezier winds will make it down to the surface, especially along the higher peaks of the Laramie Range. One final note, lows Sunday night will be several degrees warmer then previous nights as lows dive into the mid 30s west of I-25 and upper 30s to low 40s along and east of the I-25 corridor.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/

Issued at 1133 AM MST Fri Nov 6 2026

The long term forecast for the Intermountain West is rather boring to say the least. Upper level ridging will put our region in a subsequent chokehold for the next 7 days. This is great news for anyone that needs to build a house or pour concrete this week. Sunday, looks to be the warmest day of the week in the long term forecast when the ridge looks like an amplified sine wave that advects in warmer but drier air into the region. High temperatures look to be in the mid 60's for areas east of I-25 with the potential of some areas to reach 70. 700mb temperatures look to peak around 6 or 7C which will also give us slightly warmer temperatures in the upper 30s overnight compared to the upper 20s we had the past several days. During the next work week, there will be multiple low pressure system moving up and over our ridge dragging some colder air with it. While these systems don't seem to currently present our region with precipitation chances. It will knock our high temperatures down to the more seasonable mid 50's to low 60's and overnight lows into the upper 20's to low 30's as 700mb temperatures hover between 0 and 1C.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 424 AM MST Sat Nov 7 2026

VFR conditions will prevail across all terminals for the duration of this TAF period. High-level clouds are pushing in from the north and they will pose no threat to aviation operations, clearing later this afternoon/evening. Winds will remain relatively light, generally less than 10 knots across all sites. There is a slim chance, low probability, of low stratus/FG moving in and impacting KAIA later this morning. Due to low confidence, kept any mention of this out of the KAIA TAF at this time.
