KEY MESSAGES

- Quiet, dry pattern next 7+ days

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/

Issued at 1215 AM MDT Fri Oct 2 2026

Currently, the storm which brought much needed rain (and very high elevation snow) to the region is well east of the forecast area early this morning. Skies were predominantly clear over the region, with some patchy clouds over the far southeast plains. In addition, some low clouds were noted over southern Teller county.

The main concern in the immediate short term will be the potential for low clouds and fog to develop over parts of the region as dwpts remain rather high, and with favorable radiational cooling, the low levels will likely saturate. Greatest potential for low clouds will be along parts of the I-25 corridor, with best fog potential over parts of El paso county, especially the northern part of the valley as an east-southeast wind is still ongoing over this region.

For today, it will be another cool day as max temps are expected to get into the upper 60s to low 70s across the plains with 60s in the valleys. It will be dry today region-wide.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 1215 AM MDT Fri Oct 2 2026

Overall CONUS pattern during the next 7 days will be nearly dry over all of the region as mainly zonal flow will dominate, with the jet remaining to our north. One glancing blow will occur late Saturday, with will cool temps down a few degrees but not much in the way of any precip is anticipated. The rest of the week max temps will generally be in the low 80s across the region with upper 60s over the valleys.

With the flow aloft relatively weak, and with all of the precip that occurred over a good part of the region the last couple of days, no fire weather concerns are anticipated.

Looking at the long term guidance, the next chance of any widespread precip appears to occur after next weekend.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/

Issued at 539 AM MDT Fri Oct 2 2026

There is fog in the vicinity of KCOS and KPUB through the morning, which will dissipate shortly after sunset. However, a tempo group will remain. The San Luis Valley and KALS has less fog coverage, but will be possible throughout the morning. After that, VFR conditions throughout the rest of the forecast period.
