Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
238 PM MDT Mon Jun 15 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Warmer and drier Tuesday, then very hot and continued dry on
  Wednesday

- Elevated fire weather concerns Central Mountains and northern
  San Luis Valley Tuesday, then widespread critical fire weather
  conditions due to gusty winds and very low humidity over the
  mountains, valleys and along I-25 Wednesday

- Cooler on Thursday, then hotter again over the weekend, with
  a slow increase in shower and thunderstorm chances, mainly
  eastern mountains and plains

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 140 PM MDT Mon Jun 15 2026

Isolated thunderstorms firing early this afternoon along and
north of the NM border, with some very isolated activity
drifting off Pikes Peak into El Paso County as well. Expect
Pikes Peak region activity to weaken as it moves away from the
mountains into slightly more stable air mass farther east, while
storms farther south may be more long-lived as instability is
slightly better and upward motion is enhanced by short wave
moving along the NM border. Could see one or two briefly severe
storms from Trinidad eastward late this afternoon into the
evening, with gusty winds over 60 mph the main threat. Activity
should shift south of the Colorado border this evening, with
just some residual high level cloudiness left across the area
after sunset. On Tuesday, deepening nw flow will shunt most
low/mid level moisture southeast of Colorado, and with almost
all CAMs showing no convection over the region, will run with a
thunderstorm-free forecast at all locations for Tuesday
afternoon and evening. Rising mid-level temps and downslope
mixing will give max temps a boost Tue afternoon, with readings
into the 80s/90s at most lower elevations.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 140 PM MDT Mon Jun 15 2026

Even hotter and drier on Wednesday as swrn U.S. upper ridge
builds slightly into CO, with pronounced mid-level thermal ridge
over the area by afternoon. As a result max temps will continue
to rise, with readings near/above 100f on the plains, with highs
well into the 80s most mountain valleys. Winds aloft do look
slightly weaker than previous forecasts, as upper jet has
drifted farther north, and while we'll still see enough wind for
critical fire weather conditions, gusts should stay under 40
mph at most locations. Cold front arrives Wed night, with cooler
temps on Thu, most noticeable cooling on the plains where
readings will drop some 10-15 degf, while over the mountains,
maxes will likely only fall back a few degrees. Low level
moisture return looks rather slow behind the front on Thu, with
most models showing just a hint of some weak convection over the
srn Sangres by evening. Warming trend then returns Friday as
upper high slowly expands back northward into Colorado ahead of
deepening trough digging into California. Low/mid level moisture
increases slightly, which should allow for at least isolated
afternoon convection to re-appear, though with forcing lacking,
not expecting very widespread activity. Sat looks hot, with
isolated storms continuing, though at least some ensemble
members and the 15/12z deterministic GFS bring a good deal of
dry air back across the region as upper wave races by to the
north, which would limit convective coverage considerably.
Slightly cooler Sun into Mon as nrn wave pushes a cold front
through Colorado, with perhaps enough low level moisture
returning to the eastern mountains and plains for a upturn in
convective chances both days.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1122 AM MDT Mon Jun 15 2026

At KALS, prob30 for -tsra early this afternoon, then activity
shifts southeast and risk ends after 21z. Gusty and erratic
winds the main threat with any storms. Once storms end, VFR this
evening and overnight, with decreasing winds.

At KCOS, low risk of convection drifting off the higher terrain
to the west this afternoon, so will include a vcsh 21z-00z to
account for this. Main threat from any -shra/-tsra will be gusty
and erratic winds. Convection ends quickly this evening, with
VFR conditions overnight into Tue morning.

At KPUB, VFR the next 24 hrs, as convection should stay north
and west of the terminal. Suspect we'll see brief periods of
gusty outflow winds from distant storms late this afternoon and
into the evening, before winds diminish overnight.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1234 AM MDT Mon Jun 15 2026

Have seen at least spotty critical fire weather conditions over
the La Garita Range north into the Central Mountains and San
Luis Valley this afternoon, and expect a repeat Tuesday
afternoon and evening as area remains on the edge of stronger
upper level winds to the north. Widespread critical conditions
are then expected over the mountains, interior valleys and I-25
corridor on Wednesday as jet sags south slightly, with very hot
temperatures, west winds gusting 30-40 mph and humidity values
under 10 percent. Current fire weather watch configuration for
Wed looks good, and will likely be upgraded to warning
overnight.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon and
evening, mainly across the San Juan Range, east into the southern
Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Raton Mesa. As storms move off the
higher terrain, a couple may become strong to low end severe, with
hail near 3/4 of an inch to near 1 inch in diameter, and wind
gusts near 50 mph. Storms will track southeast out of the area
this evening.

Spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible this
afternoon from the La Garita Range, north into the Central Mountains
due to gusty winds and low humidity values.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible across the
Continental Divide, into the San Luis Valley on Tuesday due to low
humidity value and gusty winds.  More widespread dangerous fire
weather conditions will return and expand into the Eastern
Mountains and portions of the southern Interstate 25 corridor on
Wednesday.

Temperatures on Wednesday will be hot, with upper 90s to lower 100s
for the Plains.  Take precautions to stay hydrated, seek shade and
limit physical outdoor activities.

Spotty, critical fire weather conditions will remain possible for
the Continental Divide and San Luis Valley each afternoon Thursday
through Sunday.

Increased moisture across the Plains will lead to increased chances
for showers and thunderstorms over the weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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