Humidity will recover overnight as a weak front moves in from the
north into the early hours of Saturday. Breezy winds will still be
possible, from the west to northwest over the higher terrain, and
from the north over the eastern plains. Main concerns will be
winds from the incoming front and outflow from storms north of the
Palmer Divide.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
1042 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Critical Fire Weather Conditions likely to continue through
  Friday, especially over and near the higher terrain.

- Strong to Severe thunderstorms remain possible across the far
  southeast plains through the early evening and again on Thursday.

- Diminishing winds leading to less coverage of Critical Fire
  Weather conditions into the 4th of July Holiday Weekend.

- Hot temperatures through the early Holiday Weekend, with potential
  for a wetter and more seasonal temperature pattern into next week.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 956 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

Will allow the Red Flag Warning to come down at the 10 PM
scheduled time. Quick update to grids to freshen up forecast
over the first 24 hours. Another critical fire weather day is
expected for tomorrow for the same area, but could last a little
longer into the evening hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 214 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

Current water vapor imagery and upper air analysis continues to
indicate moderate southwest flow aloft across the region, with a
broad upper trough in place the Intermountain West and Great Basin
at this time. Water vapor imagery and GOES Blended Total Water Vapor
data indicates much drier air in place across region, with current
observations indicating dew pts in the single digits and teens across
higher terrain, in the teens and 20s across the I-25 Corridor, and
in the 30s, 40s and 50s across the southeast plains at this time.
Satellite imagery is indicating some CU developing along the Raton
Mesa, along with some Pyrocu being indicated across the Aspen Acres
burn site as of 1230 MDT.

For the rest of today and tonight, southwest flow will continue to mix
out moisture across the plains, with the potential for a few strong
to severe thunderstorms developing along the dry across eastern Bent,
Baca, Prowers counties through the late afternoon, however latest shear
profiles indicate the best shear further north. At any rate, main threat
from storms remain damaging outflow winds. Further west, dry air and
continued breezy southwest winds will keep critical fire weather
conditions in place through the evening, with current Red Flag Warning
remaining in place through 10 PM MDT. Southwest flow and lee troughing
across the I-25 Corridor overnight will bring back some low level
moisture across the plains within southerly return flow, however, this
moisture does not look to get back to the higher terrain, with poor
rh recovery again expected for ongoing wildfires.

Latest model data supports a slight increase in the southwest flow
aloft across the region, leading to another day to expected Critical
Fire Weather conditions, especially over and near the higher terrain,
where a very dry airmass will remain in place. Current Red Flag
Warnings remain in place from the I-25 Corridor westward from 10
AM Thursday to midnight Thursday night, with temperatures slightly
warmer than today, and the very dry air supporting min rh levels
in the single digits once again tomorrow. Further east, dry line
mixes out to near the western Kansas border, leading to a low
chance of a strong to severe storm across the far southeast plains
once again tomorrow afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 214 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

Model data continues to indicate a slow weakening of the west to
southwest flow aloft into the early weekend, as upper level ridging
is progged to build across the Desert Southwest and into the Rockies.
There will continue to be dry air in place on Friday, with enough
mixing to support Critical Fire Weather conditions over the higher
terrain, where a Fire Weather Watch remains in place. Further east,
despite the hot temperatures and dry conditions, current wind forecast
does not support fire weather highlights at this time. By Saturday, flow
aloft weakens enough to support only spotty Critical Fire Weather
conditions expected over the higher terrain, with a passing front
bringing a slight increase in low level moisture across the plains.

For Sunday, and continuing into the middle of next week, model data
keeps weak south to southwest flow in place with upper level ridging
across the Rockies. This allows for a slow moistening of the atmosphere
leading to increasing chances of daily showers and storms and more
seasonal temperatures through the period.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1041 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24
hours. Light winds tonight will steadily become gustier late
tomorrow morning into early afternoon as diurnal mixing becomes
established, with frequent gusts between 20-25 knots.
Otherwise, dry conditions with pockets of mid to high level
clouds is anticipated. In addition, smoke and haze will likely
be a concern again for KPUB and KCOS during the afternoon and
evening hours, but especially KPUB given closer proximity to a
wildfire in the Wet Mountains.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 214 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

Critical Fire Weather conditions remain likely for much of the
district through Friday with current Red Flag Warnings in place
through 10 pm tonight. Poor RH recovery remains expected over
and near the higher terrain tonight. Temperatures warm Thursday
and Friday, and with very dry air in place, a Red Flag Warning
is in place from 10 AM Thursday through midnight Thursday night,
with a Fire Weather Watch in place for areas over the higher
terrain on Friday.

Weaker winds on Saturday will produce more spotty critical fire
weather conditions, with the potential for more moisture within
weak south to southwest flow aloft leading to more chances of
wetting rains from daily showers and thunderstorms into early next
week.

1000 PM MDT Wed Jul 1 2026

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Although winds have subsided below critical fire weather
thresholds, humidity recovery in and near the mountains will be
poor overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

High Fire Danger will return for Thursday and possibly again on
Friday for the mountains, valleys and for portions of adjacent I-25
corridor. Gusty winds and low humidity will persist until midnight
Thursday night along the eastern slopes of the southeast mountains,
resulting in the potential for erratic fire behavior to continue
well into the overnight hours Thursday night. Friday's critical
fire weather conditions will pull back to the mountains and
valleys, with a lower risk on the plains where winds will be
lighter, in spite of temperatures cresting over 100 across much of
the southeast plains.

Winds will weaken for Saturday in spite of the continued hot
conditions. This should keep critical fire weather conditions more
limited in coverage and duration. Moisture increases for Sunday
through Tuesday bringing the potential for wetting rains from
thunderstorms to much of southern Colorado.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed the rest of tonight.
