.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 200 PM MST Mon Feb 2 2026

Currently...weak cold front and extensive wave cloudiness
keeping temps cooler than yesterday at many locations, though
still some 60s noted at well mixed locations on the plains.
North winds have been breezy at times east of the mountains,
with gusts 25-30 mph toward the KS border. Tonight, winds and
wave clouds diminish somewhat, leading to a generally cool/quiet
night across the region. Weak downslope westerly winds then
stir toward sunrise Tue, leading to slowing rising temps along
eastern mountain slopes. On Tuesday, upper flow becomes more
nwly across Colorado, with another wave pushing a cold front
through the plains in the afternoon. Perhaps just enough lift
and moisture behind the front to wring out a few rain/snow
showers Tue evening into Wed morning, though many 12z model
solutions are completely dry through the period. Kept low NBM
pops in place over the ern mountains and I-25 corridor for now,
highest over the Palmer Divide/Raton Mesa where a light dusting
is possible, likely not much more than a brief flurry elsewhere.
Front will keep Wed maxes down slightly, though most places will
still see readings a little above seasonal averages before wave
and front move through.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 254 AM MST Mon Feb 2 2026

Cool and dry behind the system on Wednesday, with highs in the
high- 40s to low-50s, as skies clear. Winds will start breezy,
but wane off later in the day as high pressure builds in over
the region.

Looking into the back half of the week, models show a rapid warmup
starting on Thursday beneath the high pressure. High temperatures
will be in the 60s across the plains, and mid-high 50s for the
valleys. Conditions will be dry across the region as well, though at
this time winds appear too weak for any elevated fire weather
concerns. This pattern will persist through at least Friday, after
with model solutions begin to split in regards to the behavior of
the upper-level flow.
