1240 PM MDT Mon Sep 1 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Drier air has started to move into the area from the north and
will continue to do so into midweek. Temperatures will be
gradually warming up back into the upper 80s-mid 90s for the
lowlands by Wed. Min RH`s will be falling back into the mid teens
to mid 20s as well by midweek but winds will remain light. Just
some isolated mountain storms are possible each afternoon. Going
into Fri-Sat, there are some hints at some remnant tropical
moisture moving in which would bring widespread rainfall to the area.
