1134 AM MDT Wed Jul 8 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Showers and thunderstorms continue Today through Friday, forming
over the mountains each day and moving over the plains.

- Flash flooding concerns persist for the Aspen Acres burn scar.

- Severe weather will be possible over the eastern plains,
especially on Thursday.

- Hot and dry conditions return to the region this weekend.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 1234 AM MDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Weak zonal flow continues aloft, but an incoming surge of cooler air
from the north will bring active weather to the region this
afternoon and evening. Showers and storms will fire, mainly over our
eastern mountains, by around 2PM, before activity continues off to
the southeast through the remainder of the day. Some areas could see
brief periods of moderate to heavy rainfall, warranting a Flash
Flood Watch for the area around the Aspen Acres Fire, 12PM through
8PM. Showers will be a bit more plentiful than the last few days,
with the chance for a few stronger to marginally severe storms
closer to the KS border, where moisture and low-level forcing are
both a bit more abundant. Meanwhile, temps during the day will be
similar to yesterday, with 80s over the high valleys, and 90s to low-
100s over the eastern plains. Storms move off to the east-southeast
overnight, with mild lows and good moisture recovery heading into
Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1234 AM MDT Wed Jul 8 2026

A flattening upper ridge remains in place overhead on Thursday, with
a shortwave passing through the region during the afternoon.
Thunderstorms are expected to fire as the wave passes and pushes a
weak front down, some of which will likely be strong to severe.
Latest SPC guidance shows a Slight Risk for severe weather over most
of our eastern plains. Temperatures will be a bit cooler, with 80s
to mid-90s for most areas.

For Friday, easterly surface winds over the plains, combined with a
passing wave to our northeast, will bring plenty of moisture to the
eastern plains, along with sufficient lift for another round of
afternoon convection. Temperatures will be similar to Thursday, if a
few degrees cooler over the eastern plains.

Looking into this weekend and early next week, a broad area of high
pressure is still expected to build in from the southwest. This will
lead to progressively hotter and drier conditions. Winds appear
light enough, for now, to avoid any major fire weather concerns, but
the hope is for more moisture to move in as the high pressure
continues shifting east into the second half of the month.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1134 AM MDT Wed Jul 8 2026

VFR conditions anticipated across much of the forecast area over the
next 24 hrs, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and
KALS. Isolated to scattered convection will fire over the mts by
midday then track east, so maintained PROB30 wording from roughly
20z-02z for all three sites for -TSRA and VRB gusts 35-40 kts.
Further east, storms may become strong to severe, producing gusts up
to 60 mph and large hail. Light diurnal sfc winds are forecast by
around midnight and for the remainder of the forecast period.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected over
portions of the area this afternoon and evening. Storms will
initially fire over the mountains, pushing east-southeast through
the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening.

Initial impacts will be over the higher terrain, where flash
flooding will be possible over any burn scar areas due to brief
moderate to heavy rainfall. As storms move east, outflow winds to 50
mph will also be a concern for any ongoing wildfires. Over the
eastern plains, a few of the storms may become strong to severe,
with the main threats expected to be damaging wind gusts up to 60
mph, hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter, and periods of moderate to
heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected Thursday and Friday
afternoons, first over the eastern mountains and then over the
plains later in the day. Some strong to severe storms will be
possible over the plains, especially on Thursday, with winds to
around 60 mph, hail between 1-2 inches, and locally heavy rainfall
all possible. If a stronger storm passes over a burn scar area,
localized flash flooding and ash flows will be possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will
be possible over portions of the region.
