KEY MESSAGES

- Dry conditions continue tonight and tomorrow.

- Mild temperatures also continue through tomorrow.

- Warming trend continues through the week with a few passing weather disturbances moving across the region.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 159 PM MST Tue Jan 27 2026

Tonight: Heading into Tuesday night, quiet weather continues for south central and southeastern Colorado. Northwesterly flow will be in place over the area, and despite some weak orographic forcing in place, dry conditions are expected given dry air in place. Otherwise, occasional mid to high level clouds with lights winds less than 10-15 mph is expected. As for temperatures, values will fall to around and slightly below seasonal values. The plains will fall into the 10s to upper single digits, and the valleys and mountains into the 10s to minus single digits.

Tomorrow: For Wednesday, quiet weather prevails another day for south central and southeastern Colorado. Northwesterly flow will be in place most of the day, with an approaching wave late in the day. Despite increasing orographics as the wave approaches, dry air will remain in place, and given this, dry conditions will continue through Wednesday. Beyond all of that, clouds will increase as the wave approaches, with winds remaining relatively light around and less than 10 mph for most, expect along the higher terrain, where winds will steadily rise throughout the day. Looking at temperatures, a relatively mild day is anticipated, with the plains warming into the 50s, the valleys into the 40s, and the mountains into the 20s and 30s.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/

Issued at 248 AM MST Tue Jan 27 2026

Northwest flow will be the dominate weather pattern through this extended forecast period. Overall, temperatures will gradually warm through the week, with temperatures on the plains in the lower 50s on Wednesday, warming up to around 60s by Sunday. A weak disturbance moving across the region during the Thursday/Friday timeframe will bring a chance of some showers mainly to the central mountains.

One caveat to this forecast is during the late week/Saturday time frame, with model guidance indicating a modified arctic airmass pushing into the midwest. If this feature pushes a bit farther to the west, then temps may be colder than what is currently predicted by the latest NBM guidance, especially across the plains. DESI temp guidance during this time period shows a rather large spread in max temps during the Saturday time period. MEX and ECX guidance has also flipped from previous runs, with the MEX now colder for PUB on Saturday than the EC. Time will tell.

Periods of gusty surface winds will be possible at times, but humidity values through the period should remain relatively high decreasing the fire weather concerns over the region.

Looking a bit farther out, a stronger disturbance may affect the region early next week, and this is reflected in the DESI guidance which shows a better chance of some precip across the region.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
