NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
1209 AM MST FRI DEC 12 2025
FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0600 MST ON DECEMBER 12.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE AT (719) 948-9429, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS WITH THIS FORECAST.
DISCUSSION
MIXING HEIGHTS ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN YESTERDAY THANKS TO A
SLIGHTLY STRONGER INVERSION ALOFT. THIS WILL MAKE FOR FAIR
DISPERSALS, AND A SMALLER WINDOW FOR FAIR RATINGS AS WELL.
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE ALSO LIGHTER TODAY, WHICH WILL LEAD TO
LESS DISPERSION IN GENERAL. OVERALL THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE LESS
CONDUCIVE FOR SMOKE DISPERSION TODAY, ESPECIALLY THE HIGHER UP
THE SLOPE YOU GO. THAT SAID, I AM STILL EXPECTING A WINDOW OF FAIR
RATINGS FROM NOON THROUGH 3 PM WHILE SURFACE HEATING IS
STRONGEST. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!
TOMORROW'S SET UP WILL BE VERY SIMILAR, BUT TODAY LOOKS SLIGHTLY
BETTER THAN TOMORROW FOR DISPERSALS.
