.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 202 AM MST Thu Nov 5 2026

Mid to high-level clouds are currently being fed into the CWA
from a trough to our east across the Upper Midwest. These clouds
may limit radiational cooling for the overnight hours, so lows
tonight may only dip into the low to mid 20s west of I-25 and
around 30 east of the corridor. While highs Thursday will jump
back into the upper 40s to low 50s from the Laramie Range and
west, with temperatures soaring into the mid to upper 50s east
of the mountains. Lets switch gears a bit and look at the
synoptic features aloft. High pressure located over southeast
Montana is forming a Rex Block over our region, this will bring
benign weather conditions across the CWA for today. This will
clear out the remaining mid to high-level clouds, west to east,
through the morning hours as the high pressure shifts east. We
will see a return of cloud cover later this afternoon/evening as
a weak shortwave begins to push in from the west, breaking down
the Rex Block. By Friday, the aforementioned shortwave aloft
will slide east across the state, this will increase
precipitation chances primarily over the Sierra Madre and Snowy
Ranges, albeit slight. Everywhere else across the CWA is
expected to stay dry with additional cloud cover being the only
sign that something, such as a weak cold front, is passing
through. This additional cloud cover will keep highs slightly
cooler than Thursday, but still near normal for early November.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 130 PM MST Wed Nov 4 2026

No major changes in the long term, except for taking out Friday
and starting the long term discussion on Saturday, please see
previous discussion below...

Saturday...Will see a slow warming trend though tempered by
northerly flow aloft. Low and mid levels look too dry for any
precipitation.

Sunday...The warming trend continues as the ridge aloft builds
across our counties, helping to produce a surface lee trough across
eastern Wyoming. 700 mb temperatures near 7 Celsius will yield
maximum temperatures from the mid 50s to mid 60s.

Monday-Wednesday...Dry west northwest flow aloft prevails with a few
shortwave troughs aloft passing by, though with minimal low and mid
level moisture, no precipitation expected. High temperatures nearly
the same each day based on 700 mb temperatures.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 424 AM MST Thu Nov 5 2026

VFR conditions will prevail across all terminals for the duration of
this TAF period. Mid to high-level clouds are rolling through, they
pose no aviation threat, and will clear up throughout the day.
While winds will remain relatively light, generally less than 10
knots across all sites.

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
