SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/

Issued at 151 AM MST Fri Nov 21 2025

Complex weather pattern over the region as weakening.filing mid level circulation over the region early this morning will continua to translate to the east and weaken. A much more potent weather system was offshore of southern California and will gradually push inland over the US/MX coastal area and then move east-northeast, and will move over the region during the Sunday time period. This system promises to bring more beneficial precip to the region starting late Saturday and lasting into early monday. At this time high elevation snow is likely with rain at lower elevations.

As for sensible weather, the clouds and showers over the region early this morning will slowly push off to the northeast and gradual improving conditions will occur later this morning over most of the region. The far eastern plains will be last to clear, but by mid to late afternoon conditions should improve. Overall, today should not be too bad with max temps in the 40s and 50s over the plains/valleys with 20s and 30s mtns. Winds will be light, with mainly a northerly component to the sfc flow as the low over KS continues to move to the east.

Tonight, skies will clear with lows mainly in the 20s to L30s plains and L20s valleys. Could be some patchy fog in areas.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 151 AM MST Fri Nov 21 2025

Saturday will be a nice seasonable day with dry conditions and mostly clear skies. It will be a good day to start to get into the holiday spirit as Sunday will likely be wet and much cooler as the Storms over Souther Cal moves over the region. This system looks to be rather potent, but it appears that it will be moisture-starved, and should be rather quick moving. Nonetheless, it promises to bring widespread precip over the region starting along the CONTDVD Sat night and across all of the region on Sunday, moving out across the eastern plains Sunday night. At this time snow will occur in the higher elevations and rain on the plains. However, believe snow levels will be lower with this storm as it is a bit colder than the system that moved over us on Thursday. Snow amounts will are also expected to be higher with this system, with generally 5 to 10 amounts for the higher mtns.

For Monday, expect dry weather for the region with seasonable temps.

Starting Tuesday, another trough will move in from the Pacific NW and this system has some cold air with it, and this cold air will move into the region Tuesday. The 60s over the plains on Monday will be replaced by 30s and 40s on Tuesday. We could see some passing rain/snow showers over the region on Tuesday. The cool weather will last into Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to warm up a bit for Thanksgiving and into the holiday weekend as mid level ridging builds over the area. \/Hodanish

Developing low level upslope will keep low VFR cigs at COS and PUB through the afternoon, with drier air within the northwest flow aloft helping to clear skies late this afternoon and into the evening. VFR conditions with generally light diurnal wind regimes will be in place through the end of this taf period.

Low clouds will keep MVFR/IFR conditions at ALS through the the afternoon, with drier air within the northwest flow aloft helping to clear skies late this afternoon and into the evening. There is a low chance of fog to redevelop overnight at ALS, however, believe the drier air will deter fog formation, and expecting VFR conditions with generally light diurnal wind regimes to be in place through the end of this taf period.
