SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/

Issued at 1244 PM MDT Thu Sep 10 2026

For the rest of today...mainly dry all areas and relative cool. Best chanced for any convection will be down across the southern Sangre De Cristo mountains eastward to the Trinidad region. One or two of these storms could be marginally severe.

Friday...Much warmer. Highs will generally be in the mid 90s most of the plains to upper mid to upper 80s across the valleys. No measurably precip in anticipated. Spotty critical fire weather conditions will occur across parts of the region, especially in the lower elevations of Fremont and Chaffee counties, northwestern Pueblo county and the Southern San Luis valley.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 1244 PM MDT Thu Sep 10 2026

Saturday...Another cool front comes down in the morning. Max temp will fall down into the mid to upper 80s across the plains and valleys. As for precip, mainly isolated pops across the higher terrain with one or two showers pushing onto the I-25 corridor during the early evening.

Sunday, southwesterly flow throughout the column increases. However, monsoon moisture will be entrained into this flow. Likewise, pops will increase over the mtns (especially the divide) and temps on the plains will rise well into the 90s. One or two storms will be possibe along a lee trough extending from the Kim to Lamar region. Another area of showers may be possible over the lower elevations of the Pikes Peak region.

For Monday, moist southwesterly flow continues across the region. Temps will be a few degrees cooler and there will be a better chance of showers and storms across all of the region.

Tuesday things get interesting. Statistical guidance along with deterministic guidance shows the potential for a wetter and much cooler temps to move into the region. However, there is not unanimous agreement as there is a large range showing up within the max temps data for this day (although the overall trend is much cooler). Additionally, the monsoonal moisture will blend in with the moisture aloft, and this could lead to a much wetter pattern.

This overall cooler/wetter pattern will last into late week next week, so we will likely see the potential for a cooler and wetter pattern from the Tuesday through Thursday time frame. \/Hodanish
