SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 1236 AM MDT Tue Aug 11 2026

Copy today's weather and paste it for Tuesday. Another hot day with a Heat Advisory for Fremont, Pueblo, and El Paso Counties. High temperatures in the 90s to low 100s over the plains and the upper 80s to low 90s over the plains. Thunderstorms will be present once again with most of them being primarily strong wind producers, but some of the lucky few will get heavy rain over their location like Pueblo County did on Monday. Wind gusts today got up around 60 MPH, so I think that is a reasonable forecast for the strongest winds gusts for today.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 1236 AM MDT Tue Aug 11 2026

The high pressure system that has been set-up over Colorado for the last few days continues to propagate to the east and once it is far enough east southern Colorado will experience the impacts of the monsoonal plume, which should start on Wednesday and will persist longer than the forecast period. The main impacts for the forecast period will be widespread thunderstorms leading to flash flooding over the burn scars, urban areas, and areas with saturated soils. Gusty outflow winds are expected with the strongest gusts ranging from 30 to 40 MPH. While temperatures will still be above average for this time of year, they are 5F lower than previous days this week. To keep it simple, be aware of Flash Flood Watches and Flash Flood Warnings, especially Thursday and Friday when the monsoon plume is strongest.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 1052 PM MDT Mon Aug 10 2026

VFR cigs will be slow to clear overnight as remnant showers persist through 08z across portions of the area. Winds may continue to be locally breezy at times at KCOS and KALS but should settle into light diurnally driven patterns. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon with a slight uptick in coverage. Will carry a PROB30 for -TSRA at all three terminals beginning around 21-22z and continuing through 01-02z. Gusty erratic winds up to 40 kts and brief VFR cigs/vis with RA will be possible. Winds will remain convectively driven through the evening before settling into normal patters once again Tuesday night. -KT
