.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 1238 PM MST Tue Nov 10 2026

Conditions remain benign in the short term forecast period as we
see temperatures remain around 10 to 15 degrees above normal
with minimal impacts expected. The most noteworthy feature of
the forecast period is occurring today as a modest jet is seen
over the area in relation to a dry trough moving across. Some
breezy winds have been noted, the strongest of which across the
I-25 corridor up through the Bordeaux area, but sensors
utilized in the region are not reporting so it`s hard to say to
what extent the strongest conditions are, but a few gusts
nearing 60 mph can`t be ruled out in this corridor. The jet
should continue to bring enhanced conditions through the evening
hours before weakening thereafter. Otherwise temperatures
remain on the warm side today with widespread highs in the 50`s
west of the Laramie Range, and 60`s to near 70 to the east.

Into Wednesday temperatures will cool down slightly due to the
system that just passed through the region, but don`t expect a
dramatic drop in highs. Widespread temperatures stay in the mid
50`s to mid 60`s as ridging begins to move back in and resume
control of the region. We`ll continue our dry and uneventful
spell under this feature, with temperatures then warming a
couple of degrees on Thursday.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1238 PM MST Tue Nov 10 2026

Friday...The high amplitude ridge axis aloft moves from western
Wyoming to western Nebraska by evening, with subsidence and dry air
continuing the dry and mild trends. 700 mb temperatures near 5
Celsius will yield high temperatures from the mid 50s to mid 60s.

Saturday...The flow aloft turns southerly with falling heights as
the next trough aloft approaches from the Great Basin states. Looks
like adequate low and mid level moisture to produce scattered
dynamic and orographic showers across our Snowy and Sierra Madre
Ranges, with dry conditions elsewhere. Cooler temperatures with more
opaque cloud cover overhead.

Sunday...The trough aloft opens up and moves into the Texas
Panhandle by late in the day, with only some residual cloud cover,
and no precipitation left over in our forecast area.

Monday...Another transitory ridge aloft moves overhead, keeping our
weather dry and mild, with 700 mb temperatures trends suggesting
slightly warmer surface temperatures.

Tuesday...The flow aloft backs to south southwesterly in advance of
the next approaching shortwave trough aloft. Looks like enough low
and mid level moisture for scattered rain and snow showers over much
of Carbon County, including the Sierra Madre Range, with dry
conditions elsewhere. Temperatures slightly cooler with additional
cloud cover compared to Monday.

VFR conditions are anticipated through the forecast period. Weak

and KRWL may see frost develop in the next few hours and through
daybreak. Winds pick up again out of the west to northwest
between 10-15 knots, gusts to 25 in the afternoon. A deck of
clouds moves in from the northwest during the middle to early
afternoon hours, but not much else interesting weather wise.
Winds die off after sunset to become near calm at all terminals.
