.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 917 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025

Finally some changes in our weather look to be on the way. We
currently continue to be under the influence of an area of upper
level high pressure to our east, but an upper level trough is
inching closer from the west. This pattern will give us a deep
southwest flow aloft. This warm flow will continue our near
record and record setting warmth through Saturday. At the same
time, a little moisture may sneak into the western part of the
region Wednesday. For the first time in awhile I can say that
there is a slight chance for rain west of the Continental Divide
Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. Snow levels are pretty
high (above 10K) so any light precipitation will be light and
liquid.

For Christmas day through Saturday, the southwest flow will be
drier but still warm with high temperatures continuing to run 15
to 20 degrees above average. For Sunday night into Monday, that is
when things begin to get interesting. At the surface a decent cold
front will begin to push across the area, while aloft the trough
to our west will begin to transport moisture into the region. High
temperatures on Monday, may actually run a few degrees below
average as the colder air moves into the area. It is still too
early to get too excited about precipitation totals, but we could
see some snow in area mountains and some cold rain in the
lowlands. We will be keeping an eye on this and watch as the
weather models continue to adjust their output over the next 3 to
5 days.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 917 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025

Our quiet weather pattern will continue for most of the day on
Wednesday. We will continue to have high ceilings of BKN250
tonight and most of the day tomorrow. By late in the day
increasing moisture aloft will help lower some ceilings to BKN120.
We may even see some rain showers in a few spots west of the
Continental Divide. Any rain that does fall will be light.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1231 PM MST Tue Dec 23 2025

Upper level high pressure will slowly migrate eastward across
northern Mexico through the weekend as an upper trough begins to
push its influence into the Desert Southwest. Widespread near-
critical to critical RH today will improve tomorrow, with most
zones seeing greater than 20 percent for minimum values. Isolated
showers will favor the Gila Wednesday into Thursday. Typical
afternoon gusts can be expected, favoring west to southwest
directions.

The ridge will continue to break down through the early next week
when a backdoor front brings cooler temperatures areawide. Gusty
easterly winds will be possible across the high terrain and
adjacent highlands Sunday afternoon into the overnight hours.
Monday will see temperatures reductions of a few to 15 degrees
compared to Sunday`s readings. Humidity will increase, with most
zones seeing values in the 30 to 40 percent range.
