.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 142 AM MDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis is indicating
moderate west to southwest flow aloft across the region, with one
embedded short wave lifting out across the Northern Rockies at this
time. Regional radars are indicating waa showers and a few embedded
thunderstorms across northern Colorado, with regional satellite
imagery indicating subsident and much drier air in place across the
Great Basin early this morning. At the surface, a weak trough is in
place across the lower Arkansas River valley early this morning,
with breezy south to southwest winds continuing along and south
the boundary, and northerly winds developing north of the boundary
at this time.

For today and tonight, moderate westerly flow aloft through the day
increases through tonight, as the next embedded wave translating
across the Intermountain West, continues across the Northern Rockies
tonight. With dry and subsident air in place behind tonight passing
wave, we are expecting mainly clear skies through the day, with breezy
westerly winds of 25 to 35 mph mixing down over and near the higher
terrain through the late morning and afternoon. Further east will see
lee troughing developing across the plains, with breezy southerly winds
expected across the far southeast plains through the afternoon. With
very dry air in place, will continue to see meteorological critical fire
weather conditions across much of the area, with current Red Flag
Warnings remaining in place from noon through 8 pm where fuels are
deemed critical, across the Southwest Mountains into the San Luis Valley,
the gap flow areas of the mid Arkansas River Valley, the southern I-25
Corridor and across Kiowa, Bent and Prowers counties. Will likely see
critical fire weather conditions across portions of western Pueblo county
as well, though coverage is not expected to be enough to add the whole
zone into a Red Flag Warning. Temperatures aloft cool slightly today,
more so across northern Colorado, though with expected downslope and
sunshine, highs still look be some 5-10F above seasonal levels mainly
in the 90s across the plains, with 60s, 70s and 80s across the higher
terrain. Temperatures will remain below records of 91F at ALS, 98F at
COS, and 103F at PUB, all set in 2013, which was a day before the
Black Forest Fire 13 years ago tomorrow, June 11th, 2013.

Breezy westerlies will be slow to diminish over and near the higher
terrain through the evening, with the passing Northern Rockies wave
sending a dry cold front across the eastern plains, where gusty
northerly winds of 20 to 40 mph develop in its wake overnight. The
breezy conditions will keep overnight lows mild in the mid 50s to
mid 60s across the plains, and in the 30s and 40s across the higher
terrain. Poor overnight RH recovery is also expected overnight.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 142 AM MDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Moderating westerly flow aloft behind the passing wave remains
progged across the region on Thursday, with gusty northerly winds
across the plains Thursday morning, becoming breezy easterly
through the afternoon. Dry air remains in place across the region
with only a few cumulus buildups expected over the higher terrain
through the afternoon. Temperatures behind the front cool to around
seasonal levels with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s across the
plains on Thursday, with temperatures remaining in the 60s, 70s and
80s across the higher terrain. Despite the cooler temperatures, the
dry and breezy conditions will likely develop elevated fire weather
conditions across the plains on Thursday, with only spotty critical
fire weather conditions over and near the higher terrain, due to
weaker westerly winds.

Friday and Saturday will feature warmer conditions with modest westerly
flow across the region through the early weekend, leading to temperatures
at and above seasonal levels. Model data continues to support a slow
increase in available moisture across the plains, with increasing
chances of afternoon showers and storms, mainly across the eastern mtns
and plains for Friday and Saturday.

A stronger passing system across the Northern Tier will bring cooler and
more unsettled weather to the region Sunday into early next week, before
upper level ridging builds across the Rockies, bringing warm and drier
weather back to region for the middle to end of next week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1141 AM MDT Wed Jun 10 2026

VFR conditions across the forecast area today due to
very dry air. Strong gusty winds will build in from the west by the
early afternoon and remain through the night. The strongest winds
through the calendar today are expected near terminals in the
mountains. A frontal passage around 08Z (+/-1hr) will force strong
NNW winds of 20-30kts for the eastern plains including KCOS and
KPUB. Low Level Turbulence is possible through the day due to strong
winds expected through the TAF period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 142 AM MDT Wed Jun 10 2026

With breezy westerly flow aloft and very dry air in place, will continue
to see meteorological critical fire weather conditions across much of the
area, with current Red Flag Warnings remaining in place from noon through
8 pm where fuels are deemed critical, across the Southwest Mountains into
the San Luis Valley, the gap flow areas of the mid Arkansas River Valley,
the southern I-25 Corridor and across Kiowa, Bent and Prowers counties.
Will likely see critical fire weather conditions across portions of western
Pueblo county as well, though coverage is not expected to be enough to add
the whole zone into a Red Flag Warning. Poor overnight RH recovery is expected
overnight, with a passing cold front across the plains developing gusty
northerly winds of 20 to 40 mph in its wake early Thursday morning. Despite
cooler air, but still near seasonal temperatures, the breezy and dry conditions
will keep fire weather conditions elevated across the plains on Thursday, with
more spotty critical fire weather conditions expected over and near the
higher terrain.

Warm and breezy conditions on Friday and Saturday will once again
develop meteorological critical fire weather conditions across portions
of south central and southeast Colorado, especially over and near the
higher terrain, with slowly increasing available moisture bringing
increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms across eastern Colorado.
Cooler and more unsettled weather remains in the offing for Sunday
into early next week. Upper level ridging builds back across the region
for the middle and end of next week

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Meteorological critical fire weather conditions are expected across
much of south central and southeast Colorado again today, as drier air
mixes across the region within breezy winds of 20 to 40 mph. No
convective storms are expected today due to the dry air.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Weaker westerly winds will create marginal critical fire weather
conditions over and near the higher terrain tomorrow. Breezy
northerly and easterly winds and continued dry air across the
plains will force elevated fire weather conditions.

Warm and breezy conditions on Friday and Saturday will once again
force critical fire weather conditions across portions of the
forecast area, especially near higher terrain. Moisture slowly
moving into the east will increase chances of showers and
thunderstorms across eastern Colorado.

Cooler and more unsettled weather remains for Sunday into early
next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
