.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 115 PM MDT Sun Oct 25 2026

With the mid level trough still to our west, lifting northeast, a
couple more rounds of showers will be likely across the region the
rest of this afternoon into late evening. Some of the showers will
produce heavy rain, but should be relatively quick moving. The best
chance of showers over the most populated area (Springs/Pueblo) will
occur mainly this evening (6 pm-midnight).

The activity should clear the forecast areas and move into KS by
Sunrise tomorrow.

Tomorrow should be mostly sunny and dry predominantly  dry, The
only showers may occur in far SE CO. Max temps tomorrow should
be in the mid 60s plains and low 50s valleys.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 115 PM MDT Sun Oct 25 2026

Tuesday through Thursday will be dry. Max temps should be in the
U60s/L70s plains with 50s in the valleys.

By Friday, temps will be similar to the days prior, but we will see
a chance of showers over the San Juans and possibly the far
southeast plains.

For the weekend...Another trough is forecast to move across the
Western CONUS. Both the primary deterministic guidance products
(EC/GFS) show this trough development, but vary in the intensity and
location of the trough. GFS is more gung-ho with a stronger system
while EC is farther north and quicker. As it stands now, it appears
the mountains along the divide should get precip with this system,
and since these systems appear colder, we should see more snow than
rain the the mtns. /Hodanish
