...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, FIRE WEATHER...
.KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1100 AM MDT Tue Oct 6 2026
- Temperatures near normal through the weekend with lowland highs
in the lower/mid 80s.
- Mostly dry conditions through the week ahead, a much needed
break after September`s heavy rain. A low chance of mountain
showers and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1100 AM MDT Tue Oct 6 2026
A weak shortwave ridge hanging over New Mexico will give way to a
weak low hanging over Utah, pushing the deep subtropical moisture
south of the border further into Mexico today. Surface winds will
be light and variable as scant cloud cover will keep
precipitation chances at zero.
Once the low reaches New Mexico, it will slightly expand on
Wednesday and marginally raise precipitation chances in the area
mountains, though any rain that does fall will be minimal. Heading
into Thursday, the upper-level low moves deeper into West Texas
as a weak Rex Block pattern forms over the Four Corners. The
lowlands will stay dry, but moisture in the mountains will be
sufficient enough to start a few showers/storms Thursday
afternoon. Winds on Thursday will blow from the east at 8-12 mph.
The Rex Block is expected to weaken on Friday as the upper low moves
deeper into South Texas. With the exception of some spotty
thunderstorms in the Gila on Saturday, conditions for Friday and
Saturday will be mainly dry. On Sunday, both the GFS and ECMWF
have a Pacific trough moving into the western United States,
increasing rain chances for the western part of our region.
Sunday is also when both models begin to diverge. The latest GFS
run has the trough pull in what would be Simon, drenching southern
California on Monday before advecting its moisture into our
region. The latest ECMWF run does not have Simon form in its
latest model run, but it still has moisture advected into our
region from the Gulf of California early next week. As of now, it
is too soon to tell which track (if either) will win out, but we
will keep watch.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1100 AM MDT Tue Oct 6 2026
VFR conditions expected for the entire observation period. With the
exception of some clouds lingering near the border, ceilings will be
unlimited through tonight at all four TAF sites. Winds will be light
and variable.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1100 AM MDT Tue Oct 6 2026
The region continues to dry out from last week`s rain, though light
winds and Min RH values above 30% across the region will keep
fire weather conditions low today. A slight chance of rain is
possible in the area mountains both Wednesday and Thursday, but
the lowlands will remain generally dry into the weekend.
Ventilation rates will range from Poor to Fair on Tuesday and
Wednesday before rising to Good on Thursday as transport winds
from the east increase to 10-15 mph.
