.UPDATE...
Issued at 418 PM MDT Sat Jun 6 2026

on latest radar.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1236 PM MDT Sat Jun 6 2026

Dry and warm trend continues today, though some of the models have
increased shower/thunderstorm coverage and intensity for mid-late
afternoon. Most activity will remain over the higher terrain, but
where things get interesting is portions of the I-25 corridor,
including El Paso County. Some of the high-res guidance suggests
pretty breezy southeast winds, leading to some better upslope, and
anywhere from 300-800 J/kg of CAPE by mid-afternoon. All this to
say, while storm coverage will still be a bit spotty, there may be a
few more cells than earlier models suggested, possibly carrying that
scattered coverage just a few miles east, and some of the storms
that fire along the Palmer Divide and Raton Mesa may be a bit
stronger. Severe chance is still near zero for the day, so the main
impact concerns with thunderstorms will be gusty outflow winds,
probably to 50 mph or so, lightning, and spotty rainfall. Tonight
still looks mild, especially over the plains with lows in the 50s to
near-60, while the valleys cool into the 40s.

Temperatures continue to warm tomorrow, with highs mostly in the 90s
over the plains, though a few areas closer to the border will likely
break 100F. Showers will be few and far between, with much drier air
setting in across the region, though an isolated shower or two may
pop during the afternoon over the higher terrain. Gusty west winds
will set in over the higher terrain as well, leading to critical
fire weather conditions for portions of the area. A good portion of
the fuels are still listed as green, so only fire weather highlights
in effect are over Fremont and eastern Huerfano Counties.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1236 PM MDT Sat Jun 6 2026

Long-term guidance is in decent agreement through at least the first
half of next week. Upper ridging will remain in place to our
southeast while a broad trough will dig in over the western states.
Over Colorado, southwest winds will increase in strength, mixing
down to the mid-levels and giving us some stronger surface flow
along with more dry air. Temperatures will continue to be above
average, with highs consistently in the 90s to low triple digits
over the plains, and 80s for the valleys. Latest NBM data does show
the potential for isolated to occasionally scattered
showers/storms during the afternoons, but just for the mountains
thanks to some elevated heating.

The main concern through the next 5-7 days will be fire weather.
Given the dry air, hot temps, and increasing winds, critical fire
weather conditions are expected nearly every day next week over
large portions of the area. Will have to keep a close eye on fuels
to see what kinds of fire weather highlights might be necessary
moving forward, Additionally, persistent hot temps may be hazardous
to those sensitive to heat.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1126 AM MDT Sat Jun 6 2026

VFR conditions are generally expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB
through 24 hours. Winds will mostly stay diurnally driven, though
some isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon
into early evening. While chances for precipitation at the terminals
are low, gusty, erratic outflow winds may set in for a few hours,
with higher confidence at KCOS and KALS. Another round of showers
will be possible after 02Z or so for KCOS and KPUB, though with a
lower chance for thunder and overall shorter-lived.
