211 PM MDT Tue Jun 9 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Critical Fire Weather concerns today due to very, strong   winds
and low humidities.

- Isolated to scattered high based showers and storms Tuesday
afternoon, with potential for a strong/severe storm across  the far
SE plains.

- Warm, above average high temperatures expected Wednesday
  before a slight cooling Thursday.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 201 PM MDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Southwest flow is dominating across the region today. Moist air is
being advected away away from the area, decreasing surface
humidities. This drier air will increase its temperature through
daytime heating creating a well mixed layer up to the LCL where the
air can tap into 500-1000j/kg of CAPE. A fairly deep moist layer
aloft with above normal PWAT values increases the likelihood of
intense precipitation with these storms. The evaporative cooling of
these storms is shown by DCAPE values currently sitting between 1000-
1800J/kg from the foothills towards the eastern plains. These storms
will have the ability to create outflow winds of up to 60-80mph
through the afternoon. SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch
for eastern counties. Besides the winds, small hail is possible if
updrafts are strong enough. Dry lightning is possible, increasing
the threat for wildfire starts.

Elsewhere, the previously mentioned SE flow will be enhanced by
terrain. Ridgetops and channeled valleys will experience the bulk of
the winds through the day. Already dry air will become even drier to
to foehn process along the foothills. Critical wind speeds up to 50-
60mph will be present with humidities in the low teens. Fire
districts towards the east will have less threats from foehn winds
but a higher threat of strong outflow/downburst winds from high-
based storms and maybe even some dry lighting.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 201 PM MDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Drier air, slightly weaker winds, and less chances for storms are
expect Wednesday through the remainder of the work week.
Temperatures will peak Wednesday, possibly reaching 95-100F in the
hottest spots. Colorado Springs is more likely to hit the low
90s. A weak cold front arrives to the area Thursday slightly
decreasing temperatures into the weekend. Slight warming is
expected Friday and Saturday before an even strong cooling trend
takes effect Sunday into the weekend with unsettled weather and
the increased possibility for wetting rain across the forecast
area.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1222 PM MDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Overall, dry with VFR conditions are expected across the
terminals this period. A small window for light showers does
appear likely for ALS at the start of the period, with any
additional development anticipated to stay away from COS and
PUB. There is a low chance that a stray shower could move across
COS and PUB, but confidence is low. If this did occur, some
slight enhancement to the winds and gusts would be observed.
However, winds are already expected to be strong for all sites
this afternoon, likely gusting from the south southwest up to 40
to 45 kt at times. Winds diminish later this evening, and will
be lighter for the remainder of the period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER.../THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Critical fire weather concerns are ongoing across the area today.
Low relative humidities and strong winds SW will continue through
tonight. Mountainous areas will experience terrain enhanced
flow and the plains will experience strong winds from decaying
high-based thunderstorms. Recoveries tonight will be in the
30-40% range with the farthest east districts possibly reaching
50-60%, especially where storms have dropped rain.

Wednesday shows a decreased potential for storms in the area.
The SW flow is forecasted to continue, however it will be slightly
weaker. Drier air will fill into the area from the NW with below
normal PWAT values across the entire forecast area. Relative
humidities will drop to critical levels in many places with many
areas along the foothills experiencing single digit RH values during
peak daytime heating. Forecast confidence on the strength of the
winds is moderate however. High resolution model ensembles show
ridgetops and channeled terrain experiencing strong winds, yet there
is less confidence for Pueblo and Crowley of winds >25mph.

mountains, the southern I-25 Corridor, and Raton Mesa. Main
threats will be lightning and gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph.

Critical fire weather conditions are forecasted for much of south
