1251 PM MDT Fri May 29 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Thunderstorms continue into this evening, with gusty outflow and
small hail.

danger. No fire weather highlights are needed at this time, but
caution is advised.

- Afternoon storms return near the middle of next week.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1248 PM MDT Fri May 29 2026

A closed upper low is currently moving with a broad trough into the
Great Basin region, bringing us an interesting forecast for the rest
of today.

Current analysis shows close to 2000 J/kg of CAPE at the surface,
due in large to the early dissipating of the clouds from this
morning. Low-level moisture combined with some good daytime heating
should allow for ongoing storms to intensify later today,
though shear will still be a limiting factor. Stronger to severe
storms are still more likely further east, where instability
increases along with the dewpoints.

As of now, high-res guidance shows isolated to scattered storms
firing along and west of I-25 through mid-afternoon, quickly moving
off to the northeast through the rest of the day. Best chance for
strong to severe storms will be across portions of the eastern
plains, with chances higher the further east you go. There could
also be some locally higher CAPE values right along the east slopes
of the Ramparts and portions of eastern Fremont County, thanks to
lingering low level moisture from the upslope we've been seeing the
last 2 days or so. Storms are expected to intensify through the
afternoon, reaching their peaks during the mid-afternoon. Looking at
forecast soundings, mainly just looking at a wind threat, given the
dewpoint depressions near the surface, though stronger storms will
be able to produce some low-end severe hail as well.

Storms will quickly move off this evening, with the entire CWA
drying out overnight. Lows will be mild, in the 40s-50s over the
plains and high 30s to 40s for the mountain valleys.

The low will start moving off to the northeast this weekend, with
much drier and warmer conditions setting in across the area. Highs
will climb into mid-high 80s over the eastern plains, while the
higher terrain remains largely the same 60s-70s as today. No precip
is currently expected, outside of an isolated afternoon shower or
two over the Continental Divide.

With the dry air spreading across our CWA, will be looking at some
spotty critical fire weather conditions, mainly over the San Luis
Valley but also over portions of our far eastern plains. That being
said, fuels in the valley are still non-critical, and winds over the
eastern plains appear to stay below the 25 mph gust threshold across
most model guidance. As such, no need for any fire highlights at
this time, but that may need to be reassessed later if winds
increase.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1248 PM MDT Fri May 29 2026

Drier conditions will remain in place Sunday-Monday as the upper low
shifts off to our northeast, bringing much drier air in behind it.
Temperatures will warm, with high-80s to near 90 over the plains and
high-70s over the high valleys. Precip chances will be slim to none
across SE Colorado, despite a weak front moving through the area
late on Sunday. Critical fire weather conditions are expected each
afternoon on Sunday and Monday over the San Luis Valley, so will
have to see if fuels turn critical by then.

Looking further into next week, the flow breaks down a bit, with the
first of several shortwaves moving into our area around Tuesday. At
the surface, southerly flow over the plains will bring in warm,
moist air, as the synoptic energy will allow for a return of shower
and thunderstorm chances.

By Thursday, another ridge appears to build in over the region,
drying us out again towards the end of the week.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1129 AM MDT Fri May 29 2026

KALS: VFR mostly expected through 24 hours. Low chance for some
passing showers for a few hours this afternoon, with chances
dwindling after 00Z or so. Overnight, modest southwest wind and some
mid-level clouds into Saturday.

KCOS and KPUB: Low MVFR clouds are finally starting to break up
across the area, with cigs improving over the course of the
afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to pass through
the area of both terminals between 19Z and about 01Z, though
coverage will be spotty enough to leave as PROB30 for now. Will need
to monitor for gusty outflow around 30 knots. Overnight, winds
weaken and skies slowly clear into tomorrow morning.
