Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado
National Weather Service Pueblo Co
348 AM MDT Sat Aug 22 2026

.Discussion...
Meteorological conditions for extreme fire behavior are not
anticipated during this forecast period.

The monsoon plume is expected to be over the district through
late this upcoming week/early next weekend. Thereafter, the
mid level ridge flattens out and the flow become zonal across
the western United States. This in turn will cut-off the
monsoon flow and it will become drier and warmer across all of
the district.

Each day from today through late week will see scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms over the higher terrain with
isolated to scattered storms over the plains. Some days will
see a bit more activity while other days may see a bit less.
Based on current model guidance, the best coverage for showers
and storms will be mid week this week. It will also be a bit
cooler during the mid week time period before it warms up next
weekend.

For today, we expect the showers and thunderstorms to develop,
but the activity may occur a bit later than normal. Most of
the activity today is expected to occur in the greater Pikes
Peak region.

Given that we will see showers and storms nearly each day, if
a storm develops over the Aspen Acres burn scar, then flash
flooding will be possible.

Smoke dispersion will be good or better both this afternoon
and tomorrow afternoon across the district.

--- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds ---
