Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1137 PM MDT Sat Jun 20 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Severe thunderstorms likely on the plains TODAY and TOMORROW.

- RED FLAG Warnings in effect over parts of the region today and
tomorrow.

- Showers and Thunderstorms likely over the plains this upcoming
week, some strong.

- Critical fire weather conditions possible over the higher terrain
this upcoming week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 107 PM MDT Sat Jun 20 2026

For today, severe storms will be likely over the far eastern plains.
latest hi rez guidance shows the greatest potential for severe
storms over the Baca county region. However, the atmosphere will be
quite conducive for severe thunderstorm activity anywhere generally
20-30 miles east of the I-25 corridor region. The primary threats
will be large damaging hail and damaging winds, although a tornado
can not be ruled out.

Critical fire weather conditons are likely over a large part of the
region today, and several stations were already reaching red flag
criteria early this afternoon.

Based on latest guidance, the convection should be out of the region
by early this evening. The Red Flag conditions may linger well into
the evening hours.

Otherwise, it will be hot today regionwide, and 100F readings are
likely over parts of the plains with 90s over the remainder of the
plains. 80s to around 90 valleys.

Tomorrow will be a repeat of today although the magnitude of the
activity will be less. Additionally, it will be several degrees
cooler than today. As for severe, SPC now has a good part of the
plains under marginal risk tomorrow with slight over the far eastern
plains. Red Flag conditions will be possible mainly over the
interior mountains, the San Luis valley and Fremont county.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 107 PM MDT Sat Jun 20 2026

Main issued from Monday into late week will be the threat for strong
to severe storms over the plains. A favorable upslope pattern will
develop and several mid level disturbances in the northwesterly flow
aloft will move over the region. Shear and CAPE will be favorable
for rotating storms, and expect we may see a few days of severe
storms over the plains. With the NW flow, any supercells that
develop will have a tendency to turn to the right of the mean flow
and this may put the urban corridor cities under the gun for severe
storms during this period.

Over the interior mtns and valleys, it will remain hot and dry.
Winds will likely be strong enough to warrant red flag conditions
and expect we may see several days of fire weather highlights over
the higher terrain this upcoming week,

By late week, winds aloft are expected to become weak, and this will
decrease the critical fire weather danger over the higher terrain.
Additionally, we will start to dry out over the plains and this will
decrease the amount of strength of convection over the lower
elevations. Temperatures will also warm up quite a bit by the end
of the week. \/Hodanish

From Monday through late week, showers and thunderstorms will be

aloft will allow for these storms to become strong to severe. Large
hail, damaging winds and a tornado or two will be possible through

Over the mountains, it will remain quite warm and very dry, and fire
weather concerns will be high through this period over the higher
terrain.
