SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 200 PM MST Mon Feb 2 2026

Currently...weak cold front and extensive wave cloudiness keeping temps cooler than yesterday at many locations, though still some 60s noted at well mixed locations on the plains. North winds have been breezy at times east of the mountains, with gusts 25-30 mph toward the KS border. Tonight, winds and wave clouds diminish somewhat, leading to a generally cool/quiet night across the region. Weak downslope westerly winds then stir toward sunrise Tue, leading to slowing rising temps along eastern mountain slopes. On Tuesday, upper flow becomes more nwly across Colorado, with another wave pushing a cold front through the plains in the afternoon. Perhaps just enough lift and moisture behind the front to wring out a few rain/snow showers Tue evening into Wed morning, though many 12z model solutions are completely dry through the period. Kept low NBM pops in place over the ern mountains and I-25 corridor for now, highest over the Palmer Divide/Raton Mesa where a light dusting is possible, likely not much more than a brief flurry elsewhere. Front will keep Wed maxes down slightly, though most places will still see readings a little above seasonal averages before wave and front move through.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 254 AM MST Mon Feb 2 2026

Cool and dry behind the system on Wednesday, with highs in the high- 40s to low-50s, as skies clear. Winds will start breezy, but wane off later in the day as high pressure builds in over the region.

Looking into the back half of the week, models show a rapid warmup starting on Thursday beneath the high pressure. High temperatures will be in the 60s across the plains, and mid-high 50s for the valleys. Conditions will be dry across the region as well, though at this time winds appear too weak for any elevated fire weather concerns. This pattern will persist through at least Friday, after with model solutions begin to split in regards to the behavior of the upper-level flow.
