KEY MESSAGES

- Continued warm and mainly dry through the end of the week (except Tuesday we may see a better chance of a shower or two).

- Pattern may become active once again after 11 Oct.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 1200 AM MDT Sun Oct 4 2026

A cool front was moving across the region at this time. This will bring slightly cooler air to the region later today, as max temps will only reach into the lower to mid 70s across the plains and lower 70s in the valleys. Although an isolated shower may occur over the CONTDVD this afternoon, nearly all of the region will be dry.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/

Issued at 1200 AM MDT Sun Oct 4 2026

Temps will warm up once again Monday as relatively light NW flow at mid levels induces a lee surface trough. Temps will warm up to around 80 on the plains and 70s in the valleys.

For Tuesday, a bit more moisture will push into the state, especially over the mtns, and we may see scattered pops over the higher terrain, and cannot rule out a shower pushing onto the I-25 corridor (especially in N El Paso county). Temps will warm up a few degrees on this day over the plains, with lower to mid 80s plains and 70s valleys.

From Wed thru Sat, temps will cool slightly and cannot rule out afternoon showers in the mtns, but plains will be dry. Temps will be around 80 plains and near 70 valleys.

Statistical guidance (prior to ingesting 00 UTC guidance) begins to show increasing range in temp values starting Sunday as longer range guidance is not in agreement. GFS deterministic guidance (prior to 00 UTC) is leaning towards a more progressive trough early next week while EC guidance shows a much more amplified pattern. Likewise, GFS is much warmer while EC is cooler and potentially more active with precip. With that said, the 00 UTC GFS guidance has a bit more amplified pattern, similar to the earlier 12 UTC EC guidance. In a nutshell...it appears that the wx may be a bit more active at the beginning of the following next week. \/Hodanish.
