Dry and warm weather is expected through the next 24 hours as weak
dry northwesterly flow will continue aloft. Temperatures today will
generally be in the upper 70s to L80s plains, with 70s in the
valleys. A weak boundary will push into the plains later this
afternoon but will have no affect on the sensible weather.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1202 AM MDT Sat Oct 3 2026

Not much change in the weather through the remainder of the weekend
through late week. The boundary that comes through later Saturday
will bring temperatures down a few degrees for Sunday, and MAY
produce a few showers over the CONTDVD region during the afternoon
Sunday, otherwise it will be dry. Expect temps to be in the pleasant
70s across the region on Sunday.

For all of next week, Mainly dry weather is expected. Only some
scattered showers/storms could occur over the higher terrain during
the Tuesday time frame. Over the plains, max temps Will generally be
in the lower to mid 80s, with the warmest day on the plains expected
Tuesday. Over the CONTDVD region will be consistent through Tuesday,
but from Wednesday onward, temps are forecast to gradually cool into
the weekend.

By late Saturday, statistical guidance is showing the beginning of a
cooler trend as there is a much larger spread in the temps over all
of the CWA on this day. Also POPs start to increase over the mtns by
late Saturday.

Looking beyond this period, we may get some active weather into the
region by early next week (beyond OCT 11th). /Hodanish

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 526 AM MDT Sat Oct 3 2026

Temperature/Dew Point spreads are 0-1 degree at KPUB and KALS
early this morning with the potential for some patchy IFR/LIFR
cigs/vis with ground fog still possible at both terminals
through 14-15z. Enhanced northerly winds at KCOS should prevent
fog formation where T/Td spreads are around 4 degrees or more.
Otherwise, a back door cool front will shift winds from the
northeast to east at KCOS and KPUB this afternoon with gusts to
around 20 kts possible. KALS will also see a wind shift from the
east around 23z as winds pour through La Veta Pass. Enhanced
winds this evening will gradually decrease. There is the
possibility for a patchy MVFR cloud layer to develop at KCOS and
KPUB overnight behind the front, though odds look low for
anything more than a scattered cloud deck. -KT
