KEY MESSAGES

- Windy across the plains early today.

- Unsettled pattern in place through Saturday.

- Drier and warmer conditions return early next week.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/

Issued at 125 AM MST Tue Nov 3 2026

Today - Tonight: For Tuesday, relatively quiet weather is expected for south central and southeastern Colorado. The storm system that brought impactful flooding and snow to parts of the area Sunday- Monday will be pushing to the east. As this take place, northwesterly flow will prevail over the region, with drier air advecting over and descent increasing. With these conditions, dry conditions are anticipated through the day. The exception to this may be across the far eastern plains and along the Palmer Divide early in the morning, as vort maxes still swinging around the backside of the storm system and surface upsloping help support light rain showers for the plains and light rain/snow showers for the Palmer. These are expected to dissipate by mid to late morning. Otherwise, gusty conditions, mostly across the plains, early will give way to light winds less than 10 mph during the mid to late afternoon hours, with partly cloudy skies early becoming mostly clear also during the afternoon hours. Looking at temperatures, a cool day is anticipated, with values near to slightly below seasonal values. With that, for highs, the plains and valleys will be in the upper 40s to upper 50s, and the mountains in the low 30s to low 50s. For lows, the plains will be in the upper 20s to low 30s, the valleys in the 20s, the mountains in the mid 10s to 20s.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 125 AM MST Tue Nov 3 2026

Wednesday - Saturday: For midweek into the start of the weekend, some active weather makes a return for south central and southeastern Colorado. The pattern will become more unsettled, as additional waves pass over the region, one generally Wednesday-early Thursday, and another Friday-early Saturday. These features will bring heightened precipitation chances to the area, particularly the Wednesday-Thursday system given a stronger and more structured wave. There is potential the second wave Friday-Saturday brings very little, if any, additional precipitation given unfavorable storm structure and timing of its passage behind the midweek system. Between these features, dry and quieter weather can be anticipated. Otherwise, expect breezy winds, especially during the wave passages, and periods of partly to mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures are anticipated to remain fairly stable, with much of the region hovering near seasonal values.

Sunday - Monday: For the end of the weekend and into early next week, quiet weather again makes a return to south central and southeastern Colorado. Ridging looks to build across the area during this period, which will bring greater descent and drier air. This will mean dry and quiet weather conditions for the region. Ensemble model guidance are in solid agreement about this pattern evolution, leading to high (70%) confidence in this pattern progression. Beyond all of that, mostly clear skies and lighter winds can be expected. Looking at temperatures, a warming trend begins, with much of south central and southeastern Colorado warming to above seasonal values.
