UPDATE

Issued at 531 PM MST Sat Nov 14 2026

Have ended the Winter Weather Advisory for the San Juans, as area web cams show clearing skies and only a few lingering flurries.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 1224 PM MST Sat Nov 14 2026

Currently...Upper system is pushing east across CO this afternoon, producing extensive cloud cover and widespread showers to much of the forecast area, as well as snow to the higher terrain, especially the Continental Divide as well as Pikes Peak.Temps as of 1 PM have warmed into the 40s for the high valleys, and 40s to around 50F for much of the eastern plains.

Tonight...Upper low is forecast to continue sliding east-southeast across the region this evening, strengthening as it starts to close off over the OK and TX Panhandles tonight. A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and early evening as colder air advects in from the north, all the while activity will start to diminish from west to east through the night. The ongoing Winter Weather Advisory for the eastern San Juan Mts expires at 9 PM which seems reasonable. Shower and storm activity for the eastern mts and plains will drop off considerably by midnight with lingering activity across the far eastern plains through the overnight hours. As cooler air moves in and cloud cover starts to thin, areas of fog are probable for the San Luis Valley and portions of the plains overnight tonight through Sunday morning, and have included that mention in the grids. Previously there was some concern of frozen precip over Monument Hill and northern El Paso County tonight, and though that still may occur in spots, this system is moving quick enough that there is less concern now. Will continue to monitor that through the night. Overnight lows tonight will be in the 20s for the high valleys, and 30s for the plains.

Sunday and Sunday night...A cool but essentially dry day on tap for the region tomorrow as the upper low slowly moves east, and a temporary ridge of high pressure moves across the Great Basin and Rocky Mts. Patchy fog will likely linger through the morning, and cloud cover will last the longest across the far eastern plains near the eastern border, so the mts and high valleys will see more sun and slightly warmer afternoon highs. Look for highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s for the high valleys, while the plains remain in the mid 40s to right around 50F.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/

Issued at 1224 PM MST Sat Nov 14 2026

Monday...Dry and warmer as a temporary upper ridge over the region gradually pushes east, with the ridge axis pushing east through the afternoon as the next feature approaches from the west. Plan on high temps in the 50s for the high valleys, and 50s to around 60F for the plains.

Tuesday and Wednesday...Models are still in agreement on another quick-moving system crossing the region mid-week as an open wave, bringing another shot of snow to the higher terrain late Tuesday through Wednesday. Wind-driven snow will occur along the Continental Divide, with advisory snow amounts likely for the eastern San Juan Mts. Across the eastern plains, strong southwest flow and lee troughing will help boost temps well into the 60s. High temps across the plains both days will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s, while the high valleys will warm into the upper 40s to mid 50s on Tue, then just the 40s on Wed.

Thursday Through Saturday...A dry cold front dropping south across the eastern plains late Wed night will drop temps a few degrees across the plains on Thu, otherwise conditions remain dry until late Thu night when the next system starts to move into western CO. Beyond that, forecast confidence drops off. There remains a lot of questions concerning the next weather feature for the region beginning Friday, with long range models in disagreement on how this will pan out. Models do indicate another system pushing across the region late Thu night through Sat, but whether this will be another quick hit or something more substantial remains a mystery. Key phrase for now will be unsettled. Moore
