KEY MESSAGES

- Warm and dry remainder of this weekend into early next week

- Brief cool down with some showers possible late Tue into Wed before warm and dry weather returns.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/

Issued at 205 PM MST Sat Jan 31 2026

Upper ridge out west flattens and translates eastward for Sunday bringing continued dry and warmer conditions to the region. High temperatures will rebound back into the lower 60s across the plains, with 40s and 50s for the valleys and 30s for the higher mountains. Winds increase at times over the high country especially as flow becomes more westerly into Sunday night. This will keep lee troughing and mild overnight lows in place along the lower eastern slopes.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/

Issued at 255 AM MST Sat Jan 31 2026

Sunday Night will be cool, but increasing clouds should limit radiational cooling a bit and keep things from getting frigid. The plains will remain in the mid-20s to low-30s, while the San Luis Valley will cool to around 10-15.

Flow on Monday will turn more westerly aloft, leading to some more efficient warming and drying across the area. Conditions will be dry and winds will be a little more breezy than on Sunday, but at this time any risk for fire weather is still marginal.

Later in the day, a broad trough will pass through the region, pushing a weak, dry cold front south across the plains. At the moment, no precipitation is expected along the front, but temperatures behind it will decrease noticeably heading further into the week.

Tuesday Onwards...

It will be cooler on Tuesday, with highs about 10 degrees cooler than Monday. Isolated to scattered showers will be possible Tue Night into Wed as an upper wave in northerly flow aloft passes to the east, bringing the chance for snow to the eastern mountains and a brief rain/snow mix to the lower elevations along the I-25 corridor. At this time, accumulations look light and are trending lighter with each run. Latest NBM analysis keeps amounts under an inch up to the 75 percentile. Only outlier solutions 90th percentile and greater have some localized 1 to 3 inch amounts along the southern I-25 corridor and Pikes Peak region.

Dry and slowly warming conditions are expected through the rest of the work week.
