.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 1240 AM MDT Mon Jun 29 2026

Potent upper trough over the Great Basin will pivot to the
northeast across northwest CO into WY today, placing southern
CO under strong southwest flow aloft. A little reverse shear
late tonight through Monday morning should help duct the
strongest winds down the lower eastern slopes of the southern
Sangres, Wets and southern I-25 corridor. HREF probabilities of
gusts over 58 mph across the lower elevations are nil, but there
is a small area in the lee of the southern Sangres where gusts
could hit 65 mph or a little better. Conceptually, high wind
criteria could get close, though think it will be brief and
confined to the higher areas based on cross-sections off higher
res models. Leaned on the HRRR to amplify wind gusts a touch in
these areas. Otherwise, dry southwest flow will overspread much
of southern CO with Red Flag Warnings being dictated by where
fuels are critical. Recent rains across the southeast plains may
keep fuels too most for our eastern most counties, but have
opted to include northern El Paso and eastern Las Animas in the
Red Flag Warnings for today, and bump up the timing to 9 AM for
the lower elevations to account for fairly early timing of the
upper trough passage aloft. Otherwise, temperatures today will
be a couple degrees cooler but still well into the 90s to around
100 across the southeast plains, with 90s for the valleys and
60s and 70s for the mountains. Although humidity levels will be
below the PDS criteria of 9 percent, the juxtaposition of both
winds over 50 mph and humidity levels below 9 percent do not
appear to coincide as our wind gusts will decrease in the
afternoon when the humidity reaches its lowest point. But it
will still be a high wind Red Flag Warning day for much of the
mountains and I-25 corridor with volatile conditions for fire
spread.

Winds will decrease this evening and temperatures should be a little
cooler as dry air, clear skies, and cooling aloft behind the upper
trough spreads in. Some of the cooler valleys will drop into the 30s
for overnight lows, while well draining lower eastern slopes
stay in the 50s to lower 60s. The forecast will remain dry
through the period, though return southerly flow will start to
bring some higher dew points into the far southeast plains
towards morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1240 AM MDT Mon Jun 29 2026

The weather pattern doesn't change much through the remainder of the
work week as more troughing continues to reload across the western
U.S./Great Basin and ejects to the northeast into the northern
Rockies. Southwest flow aloft will be strong enough to keep
heightened concerns for Critical Fire Weather conditions each
day through the period, though questions remain as to how far
east conditions will spread each day.

Given some drying on Monday, critical fire weather conditions may
spread farther east on Tuesday as another impulse ejects across NW
CO during the afternoon.  A cool front will make a brief intrusion
into northern portions of the southeast plains before drying spreads
off the mountains into the I-25 corridor again Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile southerly flow across the far eastern plains will
establish a dry line which will become the focus for some strong to
severe afternoon convection in the afternoon.  Current Fire Weather
Watch looks on target and will maintain for now until greater
clarity is gained on where the dry line sets up.  To the west of the
dryline, critical fire weather conditions will return with gusty
winds and low humidity. Winds don't look quite as strong as on
Monday with gusts in the 30 to 45 mph range. Temperatures will
be a little cooler but still well into the 90s across the
plains. Meanwhile to the east of the dryline, one or two severe
thunderstorms will be possible in the afternoon before
convection shifts east into Kansas.

The set up looks similar for Wednesday through Friday with Thursday
and Friday being the hottest days as temperatures crest over 100
across portions of the southeast plains again.  The gradient aloft
begins to relax next weekend as the upper ridge amplifies over the
central U.S. and moisture advects northward from old Mexico.  This
increases pops for our area late weekend into early next week and
brings a slight cool down for Sunday into Monday. -KT

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 521 AM MDT Mon Jun 29 2026

VFR conditions are anticipated during the next 24 hours at all
3 taf sites, KPUB, KALS and KCOS.

Winds will once again be gusty today from the southwest, with
winds decreasing this evening.

With several fires ongoing to the west of the region, smoke will
reduce visibility aloft across the area.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1240 AM MDT Mon Jun 29 2026

High end critical fire weather conditions can be expected today
across much of the mountains, valleys and I-25 corridor with gusts
up to 40 mph across the lower elevations and gusts up to 50 mph
across the mountains.  Some localized gusts over 50 mph will be
possible in the southern Sangre De Cristo mountains and southern I-
25 corridor, but these will occur in the morning before humidities
drop below the PDS criteria of 9% later in the afternoon.  So,
although it will be a high end Red Flag Warning, it is not expected
to meet PDS criteria unless dew points come in drier during the
early morning hours.  Tuesday is likely to be upgraded to a Red Flag
Warning as well, though the eastward extent of the drier air is
still being honed down, and will maintain the watch for now.  More
critical fire weather days are likely to follow for the mountains
and plains through the end of the work week with conditions
expanding eastward as the drying after recent heavy rains
continues. -KT

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Localized wind gusts over 50 mph will be possible along the lower
eastern slopes of the southern Sangre De Cristo mountains and
southern I-25 corridor this morning. Patchy blowing dust will be
possible as well as strong cross winds for light weight high
profile vehicles traveling on north-south oriented roads.

As dry air spreads in from the Desert Southwest, high fire danger
will return to much of southern CO in the afternoon.  Winds gusting
up to 40 mph across the lower elevations and 50 mph across the
higher mountains, combined with humidity values below 15 percent
will lead to conditions favorable for rapid fire growth and
spread.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

High Fire Danger conditions will likely return to much of the
mountains, valleys and portions of the plains for Tuesday through
Friday as gusty afternoon winds and low humidity values return each
day. Temperatures will crest over 100 again by late week across most
of the southeast plains with the possibility of critical fire
weather conditions across all of the southeast plains.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday afternoon and early
evening across Kiowa, Bent, Prowers and Baca counties to the east of
a dry line. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary storm
risks.

Thunderstorm chances will increase again next weekend, especially
into Sunday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.
