KEY MESSAGES

- Upper-level ridge will remain in control of our weather pattern through late week, supporting a prolonged period of dry and tranquil conditions. - Daytime temperatures will run 5 to 10 degrees above seasonal averages throughout the week, pushing lower-elevation highs toward 60F.

- Differences remain amongst model solutions regarding the upper-level pattern come late week, but there is increasing confidence in mostly dry conditions through early weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 124 AM MST Sun Nov 8 2026

Daytime temperatures will run several degrees warmer than yesterday's, reaching around 5 to 10 degrees above climatological norms. These above normal temperatures will persist throughout the entirety of the week, with many low-elevation areas reaching 60 degrees for much of the period. A couple of weak shortwaves are still expected to work through today and late Monday/early Tuesday. With precipitation largely remaining north of our CWA, the main impacts will be breezy winds and a few degree loss on our daytime temps Tuesday. 500mb ensemble clusters still suggest differences amongst models regarding the upper-level pattern come late week/weekend. The National Blend now holds off introducing any PoPs until Friday afternoon, with chances increasing areawide through next Monday.
