KEY MESSAGES

- Warm and dry the rest of this week.

- Mountain snow showers arrive Saturday-Sunday, with rain over the plains.

- After a brief lull through about Monday, models suggest more active weather mid-late next week.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 1159 AM MST Wed Nov 11 2026

Mild and dry conditions will persist across the area through the next 24 hours. Temperatures will be in the 50s-60s both today and tomorrow, with mostly clear skies and light winds.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/

Issued at 1159 AM MST Wed Nov 11 2026

Quiet weather will continue on Friday, with highs once again in the 50s-60s, with dry and mild conditions.

Starting on Saturday, the upper ridge over us will push east, with some energy moving through the Four Corners and into our forecast area. Though the day will start off mild and dry, moisture will push into the area from the west by late afternoon. This will kick off snow showers over the mountains first, with rain showers moving over the lower terrain by Saturday evening.

Latest data shows snow levels remaining around 8-9 kft, lowering towards 7 kft into early Sunday. Latest snow totals have risen a bit compared to previous estimates. The San Juans are now expected to receive widespread 3-5 inch accumulations, though localized amounts may rise as high as 8 inches. Models remain in decent agreement on the path of this quick-moving low, which has increased forecast confidence a bit, though totals are still expected to change as the system draws closer and is better resolved. So, no highlights needed quite yet. The rest of the central and southeast mountains will get much lighter snow, with most of the peaks getting less than 2 inches, though portions of the Sangres may see up to 3. Though, depending how quickly the system passes us by, it's possible some of the guidance may be overdoing totals slightly.

After a brief lull in activity Monday, with slightly warmer and drier conditions, a new system is expected to move in.

Long-range guidance continues to suggest a broad trough moving over the western CONUS, with moisture pushing into our CWA sometime around late Tuesday. However, the disagreement between model solutions remains substantial, so details have yet to be narrowed down. Generally cooler and unsettled weather expected around the middle of next week.
