Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1026 AM MST Fri Dec 26 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- After a brief break, wind-driven snow redevelops tonight and continues
  along the Continental Divide into the weekend. Plains to
  remain dry and exceptionally warm today and tomorrow.

- If you have been missing winter, a much anticipated cold
  front looks to come through Sunday morning, bringing in much
  colder temperatures, along with more widespread chances for
  light, but wind driven, snow.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 242 AM MST Fri Dec 26 2025

Currently...An upper pacific trough remains just off the West Coast
this morning. Strong west to southwest winds aloft were in place
across the state, with mid and high levels cloudiness streaming
across the forecast area as per latest satellite imagery. Temps as
of 2 AM were 30s and 40s for most spots, though a few locations
receiving intermittent westerly gusts remained in the 50s.

Today...Not a lot of change to the upper pattern through the day
today, though the upper trough finally starts to make a move
onshore. Strong west to southwest flow aloft will continue, so gusty
winds for the higher elevations along with very warm conditions for
the eastern plains will continue to be the case. Models do show a
brief lag in snowfall along the mts at least through the first half
of the day. Some elevated fire weather conditions are starting to
crop up in Teller County this afternoon as well, due to the brisk
winds and low humidity levels. For now, not enough of the zone is
forecast to experience those conditions so no fire weather highlight
has been issued. Forecast high temps today will likely NOT break
records unless the atmosphere over-performs, but will still climb to
around 20 degrees above seasonal normals. Plan on highs today in the
50s for the high valleys, and 60s to lower 70s for the plains.

Tonight...The upper longwave trough pushes east into the
Intermountain West and Great Basin tonight, with models showing snow
redeveloping across all of western CO including along the
Continental Divide late. Snow amounts through tonight look to be
around 2 to 4 inches for the eastern San Juans where the best
orographics are expected to be. However, snowfall there is forecast
to continue through Sat into Sun morning, and combined with the
strong W-SW winds gusting as high as 40-50 mph, a Winter Weather
Advisory was warranted for the eastern San Juans starting at 10 PM
tonight. The remainder of the mts will see lighter amounts, but will
still deal with the gusty winds creating blowing and drifting snow,
so later shifts may hoist additional highlights. As for overnight
low temps, look for lows in the 20s to around 30F for the high
valleys, and 30s to lower 40s for the plains. Moore

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 242 AM MST Fri Dec 26 2025

Saturday..

Our incoming system has slowed a bit more, which will keep us even
more firmly in the warm and dry on the plains camp for one more day.
Daytime highs look to climb right back into the 60s and 70s for most
of the plains, with 50s for the Pikes Peak region and the San Luis
Valley. Winds will be breezy out of the west and southwest, with
gusts to 55 mph or so over the southern mountains, and gusts to 45
mph or so over our gap flow in Huerfano County. Luckily, our
humidities increase as well, so fire weather concerns are not
expected at this time.

As the system approaches, snowfall rates increase over the high
country from west to east, moving into the central mountains by
Saturday afternoon. This will mean periods of moderate to heavy
snowfall for the San Juans though, where orographics will be
favored. A Winter Weather Advisory is in place for this area through
late Sunday morning, with heaviest snowfall rates expected Saturday
morning and Saturday afternoon. Winds gusting to 50 mph will be
possible as well, which may lead to periods of wind driven snow and
very dangerous travel conditions, especially over Wolf Creek Pass.
Storm totals of around 6 to 12 inches are expected for the San Juans
by Sunday evening.

Saturday Night through Sunday..

Models continue to slow the timing of the incoming cold front. We
still think that winter is coming.. but the front doesn't look to
come through our plains until early Sunday morning now. Gusty north
winds along and behind it pick up between midnight and 4 AM along
and north of Highway 50, and snow chances look to begin along the
Palmer generally anytime after midnight as well. Precipitation may
start as rain or a mix for the lower elevations of the Highway 50
corridor, but with the front coming through in the coldest hours, a
quick transition to snow is anticipated. All snow is expected for El
Paso County, with blowing snow and degraded visibility possible
through much of Sunday morning. This will be especially true for
eastern El Paso, where gusts will be higher. Light but wind driven
snow chances march south through the morning hours, with most of our
plains seeing chances between 6 AM and noon. Winds begin to decrease
through the afternoon hours, and snowfall looks to dissipate through
the evening hours.

Totals with this system are fairly low given how long we have waited
for decent moisture, but we will take what we can get at this point
of course. Highest totals are will be over the San Juans, but the
central mountains and Sangres should both see totals around 4 to 8
inches as well. Lesser amounts for other mountain zones are
expected, with 2 to 3 inches likely over the Palmer Divide. Trace
amounts to possibly 2 or so inches look to be the most likely
outcomes on our plains, with those 2 inch amounts hugging closer to
the terrain. Overall, our main travel impacts will more likely be
due to blowing snow than to road conditions given the lower totals
and the warmer temperatures.

Monday Onwards..

Provided the front does not slow down some more, we are in cool and
dry northerly flow behind it by Monday, with slightly cooler than
normal temperatures. Highs look to climb into the 40s for much of
the plains, with 30s for the San Luis Valley. A warming trend begins
on Tuesday, with dry conditions and weaker winds persisting through
at least Wednesday as a broad area of high pressure sits to our west
and leaves us in northwest flow. Models continue to hint that this
pattern may stay in place through late next week before westerly or
southwesterly flow and more chances for precipitation
possibly return, at least for the high country.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1026 AM MST Fri Dec 26 2025

VFR conditions are expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB through 24
hours, with persistent mid to high-level clouds. Breezy west-
southwest winds will persist over the area into tonight before
weakening. In the early morning hours of Saturday, inversions will
be present near both KCOS and KPUB. Continued trend of including
LLWS at KCOS starting at 07Z tonight, with light surface winds and
strong west flow aloft. KPUB will also have light surface winds,
though stronger flow aloft is currently expected to remain above 5
kft.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

After a brief break today, wind-driven snow will redevelop tonight
across the higher terrain, with a focus along the Continental Divide
and especially across the eastern San Juan Mountains. Total new snow
amounts through tonight for the eastern San Juan Mts will range from
2 to 4 inches, but moderate snow along with gusty west to southwest
winds will persist there over the weekend, prompting the issuance of
a Winter Weather Advisory. The remainder of the mountains will
likely see very light new snow amounts through tonight.

Visibility may be degraded at times due to the stronger winds across
the higher terrain, producing areas of blowing and drifting snow.
Travel may be hazardous at times, especially over Wolf Creek Pass.

Spotty elevated fire weather conditions will be possible across
Teller County this afternoon, due to low humidity levels and brisk
west to southwest winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Moderate to heavy wind driven snow will continue for Saturday and
into Sunday morning over the San Juans, with travel impacts due to
low visibility remaining possible, especially for Wolf Creek Pass.

Elsewhere for the high country, light to moderate and wind driven
snow will be possible for Saturday. Snow chances move into the
Palmer Divide Saturday night, and into the I-25 corridor by Sunday
morning. Most of the plains will see chances for periods of light
