KEY MESSAGES
- A weak passing system to bring passing clouds and a few showers along and west of the ContDvd on Friday.
- Building upper level ridging to bring dry weather with at and above seasonal temperatures for the weekend into the middle of next week.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Issued at 1224 AM MST Fri Nov 6 2026
Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis has a transitory upper ridge across south central and southeast Colorado late this evening, ahead of an upper trough translating across the Northern Tier through the Great Basin at this time. Water vapor and IR imagery indicates mid and upper level moisture spreading out ahead of said system across the Great Basin and into Western Colorado at this time.
Latest model data supports said broad upper trough splitting, with a northern portion continuing east as the southern portion digs across the Desert SW, leaving a weak vorticity axis translating across the Central Rockies through the day Friday. This will allow for passing mid and high level clouds across the region through the day, with the potential for a few showers across the higher terrain, mainly along and west of the ContDvd. Any precipitation is expected to be spotty and light. With said clouds, temperatures will be at to slightly cooler than Thursday's readings, with highs mainly in the 50s across the plains, and in the 30s and 40s across the higher terrain. Skies to slowly clear from west to east behind the passing wave overnight, with lows in the 20s and 30s areawide.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
Issued at 1224 AM MST Fri Nov 6 2026
Latest model data continues to support dry weather with temperatures slowly warming back to above seasonal levels through the weekend, as upper level ridging builds back across the Great Basin and into the Rockies. Said ridging flattens across the region through the middle of next week, with a few passing waves across the Northern Tier, however said waves look to remain too far north to bring any sensible change in the dry and warm weather across the Rockies.
