Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1029 PM MST Tue Feb 17 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Damaging winds will return to the San Luis Valley, Southeast
  mountains and southern I-25 corridor along and south of
  highway 50 Wednesday.

- High Fire Danger will returns for a large portion of southeast
  CO on Wednesday, particularly along and south of highway 50
  and east of I-25.

- Critical fire weather conditions possible again on Thursday
  along the I-25 corridor though winds not as strong.

- Steady light snow and blowing snow continues tonight along the Continental
  Divide with another round of heavy snow impacting the
  mountains on Wednesday.

- Another round of precipitation expected on Friday with the potential
  for some light snow to spread across the plains through the
  evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 205 PM MST Tue Feb 17 2026

Fairly widespread wind gusts in the 60 to 75 mph range have spread
across southeast CO this afternoon as the first shortwave and front
crossed the mountains this morning.  Wind gusts in the 55 to 65 mph
range will continue through the afternoon and early evening with the
focus for the stronger winds shifting southward with time. High Wind
Warnings up north will come down at the scheduled 2 PM
timeframe, while high wind warnings continue farther south until
7 PM. Meanwhile, drier air is spreading off the mountains
behind the front along the I-25 corridor with Red Flag Criteria
being met across El Paso, Pueblo and Huerfano counties. As these
drier surface dew points spread eastward, most the plains
should see Red Flag humidity values in the next couple hours
which will continue until 7 PM.

Meanwhile, heavy snow has fallen along the Continental Divide with
poor visibilities in blowing snow reported at Wolf Creek and Monarch
Passes.  While showers have tapered back some, the winds will
continue to produce blowing snow concerns through the evening and
overnight even as snow decreases this evening.

Next shortwave trough will move across the area on Wednesday,
ramping up snow again along the Continental Divide through the day.
Snow squall parameters increase again as instability increases
in the afternoon and the upper jet noses in. Another round of
heavy snowfall rates with the potential for snow squalls will
impact the Continental Divide, and spread into the Sangre De
Cristo range during the afternoon. A few showers may spread off
into the adjacent plains during the late afternoon and evening
though these will rapidly diminish as they push off the
mountains under downslope drying. HREF probabilities of wind
gusts 58 mph or higher range from 40-60 percent across the San
Luis Valley, southern mountains and southern I-25 corridor.
National Blend of Models has been consistent in showing
probabilities of QMD Wind gusts meeting/exceeding 58 mph in the
60 to 90 percent range across the same area but also extending
a bit farther north to locations along and south of highway 50,
and even as far east as La Junta. Experimental NBM shows a
similar pattern and similar probabilities. Have opted to throw
up a High Wind Warning for Wednesday with this second round as
even the HRRR, which verified reasonably well today, shows high
wind criteria being met across this region. Blowing dust will
once again be a concern, especially as showers roll off the
mountains into the adjacent valleys and plains.

Red Flag Warnings will return again for Wednesday, mainly along and
south of highway 50.  Opted to remove eastern Huerfano county as dew
points rise during the afternoon as showers spread off the
mountains.  Depending on how fast this occurs, it's possible that
portions of western Pueblo and western Las Animas County could come
up shy of criteria of the 15% criteria as well.  Farther east we
could see humidities as low as 10%, though the 25 percentile and
lower of the experimental NBM does show the possibility of
humidities as low as 9% across Baca county.  Did not go with a PDS
Red Flag just yet as confidence is low, but if it were to happen,
this would be the prime area. -KT

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 205 PM MST Tue Feb 17 2026

Strong winds may linger along the mountains into the early evening
Wednesday. Current wind highlights end at 7 PM but may need to
be extended depending on the timing of the ejecting system.
Otherwise, snowfall should diminish out west after 11 PM as the
system departs and current winter weather highlights still look
on track.

It will still be windy for Thursday with a cold front backdooring
into the southeast plains through the day. With strong winds and low
dew points crossing the mountains into the I-25 corridor once
again, the I-25 corridor still looks prime for another critical
fire weather day. Wind gusts do not look as strong but gusts in
the 30 to 40 mph will still be sufficient to bring another round
of critical fire weather conditions. A Fire Weather Watch has
been issued for this area from southern El Paso county to the
CO/NM line. Meanwhile snow showers will continue across the
mountains, though amounts remain on the lighter side.

Next upper trough pivots across CO Friday through Friday night
bringing the potential for another round of snow to the mountains,
and a brief window for showers across the plains.  Fortunately there
will be much less wind with this round, so no fire or high wind
highlights expected. Mountains could see some more moderate snow
accumulations though, especially along the Continental Divide.

After some quiet weather for the weekend, temperatures will warm
and winds ramp up again into early next week.  -KT

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1028 PM MST Tue Feb 17 2026

KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Winds will
remain breezy overnight, though confidence in consistent gusts
at the terminal is low at this time. However tomorrow morning,
winds are expected to quickly increase in magnitude, with gusty
winds then expected for the remainder of this TAF period. Beyond
all of that, dry conditions with pockets of mid to high level
clouds is anticipated. With that said though, snow showers will
start to push off the higher terrain and across the San Luis
Valley late tomorrow afternoon and may impact the TAF site,
dropping visibility quickly.

KCOS and KPUB: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours.
Breezy winds this evening will continue to steadily lessen heading
into the overnight hours. Wind gusts will start to increase again
though by late tomorrow morning, particularly for KPUB, and remain
gusty through the remainder of this TAF period. Otherwise, dry
conditions with pockets of mid to high level clouds is
anticipated.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Strong and damaging winds of 65 to 75 mph will continue over the
higher terrain through the day today, with the strongest winds
expected Sangre de Cristo mountains. Strong westerly winds of 55
to 65 mph will spread across the high mountain valleys and the
southeast plains through the morning, and remain gusty through the
afternoon before diminishing into the evening. These winds may
cause difficult travel for light and high profile vehicles. In addition
to strong winds producing Critical Fire Weather conditions across
the plains this afternoon, blowing dust will also be possible, which
could cause sudden drops in visibility and dangerous travel conditions.

Moderate, to at times heavy wind driven snow continues across the
higher terrain of Continental Divide through the day, keeping hazardous
travel conditions in place across the higher terrain. Snow tappers
off this afternoon and evening before picking up again later tonight.
Additional accumulation's of 6 to 12 inches will be possible across
the Southwest mountains, with additional accumulations of 3 to 6 inches
for the higher terrain of Central mountains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Critical fire weather conditions continue across portions of southeast
Colorado Wednesday and Thursday, as gusty winds and low humidity values
continue across the region.

Another round of moderate to at times, heavy snow continues across
the higher terrain of the Continental Divide on Wednesday, with wind
driven snow, keeping hazardous travel conditions in place over the
mountains.

Snow chances will remain in place across the higher terrain into the
weekend, with the greatest coverage expected along the Continental
Divide.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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