Updated at 420 PM MST Sun Dec 7 2025 - No significant weather impacts are expected through next week. - Dry conditions, typical afternoon breezes, and a gradual warming trend will occur this weekend through next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1005 AM MST Sun Dec 7 2025 A quiet weather pattern will persist over the region through next week. A strong area of high pressure off the west coast has set up a blocking pattern that will keep winter weather systems north of the area through the end of the week. The overall pattern will also maintain a dry northwesterly flow aloft over local area with clear skies, light winds and generally mild temperatures for this time of year. While overnight lows will remain fairly cold due to the dry atmosphere and radiative cooling processes, temperatures during the day time will be on a steady warming trend toward well above normal temperatures by mid week. The warmest temperatures are expected by Thursday afternoon when near record values in the lowlands will be in the lower to mid 70s. A cold front on Friday night will knock temperatures back down a few degrees for next weekend. && .AVIATION...
