SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 202 PM MST Sun Feb 8 2026

Currently...

Another nice day over the region today as temps were in the 50s and 60s across the plains with 40s in the larger valleys. Bands of thin cirrus were moving south across the region.

Rest of today into tonight...

Dry with light diurnal wind flow. Temps will be quite mild

Tomorrow...

Main concern will be fire weather. Issued a Red Flag warning for mainly the greater I-25 corridor region from Pueblo south to the NM border. Highest confidence of Red Flag Conditions will be across Teller and Fremont county and Baca counties, with less confidence across Las Animas county. Models/statistical guidance was showing Red Flag conditions were NOT likely across El Paso county, with the only exception being the extreme SW corner of El Paso county, across the S Fort Carson region.

It will be warm tomorrow and record high temps cant be ruled out. Records for the data tomorrow are:

Standing Records: Forecast: Alamosa: 59F 59F C Springs: 71F 69F Pueblo: 78F 75F

Temps across the plains tomorrow will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s, with KALS seeing the best chance at record high temps.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/

Issued at 202 PM MST Sun Feb 8 2026

Tomorrow night, a cold front will move across the region. This front will come across dry but cooler air along with gusty north winds will follow in behind the front.

Tuesday...

Noticeably cooler air (at least for one day) will move over the region. Expect high temps on this day to only be in the upper 40s to mid 50s across the plains and valleys.

Wednesday...

Pattern changes as moisture should start to impinge on the Divide region, with rain/snow showers in the higher terrain. Amounts will not add up to too much but any precip is better than none. It will remain dry over the plains but we should see a good chance of precip over the mtns, especially by late in the day.

THU-FRI

A much better chance of significant snow will occur over the mtns as a strong moist southwesterly jet will be moving over the higher terrain. This will be the best chance of higher qpf occurring over the divide. DESI guidance indicates 1.5 to 2.0 LWE over the divide region during this two day period. This will also be the best chance of precip over the plains (especially on Friday). At this time it appears the majority of precip on the plains will be liquid as there is not much cold air with this incoming trough, although the Palmer Divide will likely see snow, especially Thu night into Friday morning.

For the weekend weather will still remain unsettled with showers continuing while plains should dry out. 50s and 60 likely for max temps over the plains next weekend. \/Hodanish
