For the rest of today, nearly dry and quite warm over the entire region. If we do get any precip, it will be over the central mtns and possibly far north Teller and NW El Paso county. Upper 80s to mid 90s are expected today.

Tonight - dry.

Tomorrow...dry with similar temps as todays forecasted max temps.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/

Issued at 108 PM MDT Wed Sep 2 2026

From Friday through early next week, moisture will gradually be on the increase. A weak disturbance moves across the region Friday late morning and some guidance is printing out some light precip over the far eastern plains. Although cant rule it out believe better chance of precip will be isolated precip in the afternoon /early evening plains and more scattered storms over the mtns, especially the San Juan region. Temps this day may be a degree or so warmer than Thursdays max temps, especially over the plains.

For Saturday...A bit wetter this day, with guidance showing better chances for the plains, especially south and east of a line from KTAD to KLAA. Max temps similar to Fridays highs.

Sunday...RH fields throughout the column ramp up this day, and we could see some heavier convection over the CONTDVD this day, with some of the precip likely pushing out onto the plains. Sfc troughing is still noted over the far southeast plains, and once again the best chance of showers may be over this region. With more clouds and precip about, temps are expected to be 2-3F cooler than Saturdays temps.

Into next week, we should continue to see monsoonal showers and thunderstorms over the region as fairly stout mid level troughing is expected to be over the Eastern PACific (EPAC), while the mid level ridge remains over the central part of the country. This will keep mid level southwest flow ongoing and moisture will continue to be tapped from old Mexico and the subtropical EPAC. Actually, the amount of precip next week may be dependent on how much mid/upper level moisture gets advected up from the Tropical Cyclones/tropical disturbances that will be in the EPAC/Mexico coast. Some guidance shows some fairly stout high RH values advecting northward, and this could allow for the potential of numerous showers and t-storms over the SW CONUS, including CO, during this period. \/Hodanish
