.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry conditions expected through Friday alongside critical
  Fire Weather conditions.

- Moisture and cooler temperatures return for the weekend, with
  another shot of cooler air to start next week.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 145 PM MDT Wed Sep 9 2026

Weather in the short term is rather benign as the forecast area sits
in quasi-zonal flow through at least Friday. Although benign,
conditions will be conducive for fire weather. Zonal flow aloft will
lead to windy conditions at the surface as a decent MSLP gradient
sets up over the western half of the CWA. Even 850 mb CAG to CPR
height gradients show a slight response, peaking into the 40 meter
range on both Thursday and Friday. Winds aloft during the day will
only range from 30 to 35 kts, so while not high winds, 30 to 40 MPH
gusts at the surface will be favorable for rapid fire spread.
Westerly flow will usher a very dry airmass into the area Wednesday
afternoon. This airmass will stick around through Thursday night,
leading to low relative humidity. Overnight humidity recoveries both
Wednesday and Thursday night will be poor, as breezy conditions keep
the surface dry. Thursday will be the driest day with relative
humidity falling into the single digits for most of the forecast
area. High temperatures will also warm about 5 to 10 degrees
compared to Wednesday. Red Flag Warnings are already in place this
afternoon through Thursday evening, mainly for Carbon County and the
central to northern Laramie Range. The fire weather threat shifts
eastward on Friday into Nebraska as a weak disturbance aloft raises
mid-level relative humidity over the western zones.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 145 PM MDT Wed Sep 9 2026

A cold front should have made its way through the area overnight
Friday. The timing is in fairly good agreement between global models
with a five degree drop in the morning minimum temperatures compared
to Friday. This will translate into a pleasant afternoon with highs
in the upper 70s to low 80s. The northerly winds behind the front
swap to southeasterly in the afternoon with the return flow. Aloft
it is possible that a shortwave trough is passing through the area.
This shortwave would provide a little more lift and moisture to
perhaps kick off scattered showers and thunderstorms with IVT in the
90th percentile.

Sunday we should start to feel the effects of a new upper level
system moving into the Pacific Northwest. Stronger return flow ahead
of this system`s passage would increase storm potential. Some
machine learning models are depicting a risk area on and east of I-
25. Ensemble models have 75 percent of members having CAPE and shear
values above climatological average and about 30-50 percent having
values above the 90th percentile of climate. In other words the
signal for severe weather is starting to show in guidance. A cold
front associated with the Pacific system passes through sometime
Sunday night into Monday morning.

Post front temperatures cool and a drying trend starts as a ridge
builds up again. Return flow possible on Tuesday which could allow
more diurnal shower and storm activity. The signal for another
system at this range is murky. If no other system turns up in
ensembles expect the ridging pattern to persist in the long
term.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1117 AM MDT Wed Sep 9 2026

The upper level ridge will keep terminals at VFR through most of
the forecast period. Breezy winds at KRWL and KLAR this
afternoon with gusts to 30-35 knots. Variable to weak winds at
other terminals. At KSNY for a few hours, starting at 11z,
patchy fog is possible given the completely saturated near
surface layer, perhaps dropping the terminals to MVFR. Winds
pick up after 15z tomorrow, gusting to 25 knots at Southeast
Wyoming terminals.

.CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WY...Red Flag Warning until 8 PM MDT Thursday for WYZ419>422-425-
