There is a low to medium chance of locally dense fog developing across the eastern plains late tonight into early Thursday morning, along with a few isolated showers or a stray storm near the far southeast border by Thursday afternoon.

Extended Forecast: Quiet weather continues through Thursday before a significant pattern shift brings moisture, cooler temperatures, and mountain snow over the weekend into next week.
- Thursday – Friday: Drier and mild conditions persist through Thursday. By Friday, a deepening Pacific trough sends a surge of moisture toward western Colorado, while a weak shortwave passing to our south brings a chance for showers over the far southeast plains and light mountain showers.
- Saturday: Increasing southwest flow aloft draws moist Pacific air across the region. High elevation mountain showers will build through the day while lower elevations remain mostly mild.
- Sunday – Tuesday: A more impactful storm system takes over as an upper-level trough amplifies into the Four Corners. Heavy mountain snow and rainfall return to the Continental Divide and San Luis Valley, with additional flooding potential. Snow increases on Monday with a chance for a wintry mix or rain/snow showers expanding into the mountain valleys and adjacent plains as temperatures drop. Windy conditions will be around on the backside of this system. Flooding looks to be low with this system!
