SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/

A SHORTWAVE IS CURRENTLY CLIPPING PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS WAVE IS PROVIDING WEAK LIFT AND MOISTURE THAT HAS RESULTED IN
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. THESE SHOWERS WILL BE MORE COMMON IN THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SAN JUANS.
THE UPPER YAMPA AND COLORADO RIVER VALLEYS COULD SEE THESE SNOW
SHOWERS AS WELL. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM 1-5 INCHES ONCE
THE SHOWERS DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. THE WAVE HAS ALSO INCREASED THE
WINDS SPEEDS ALOFT, WHICH COULD IMPACT VISIBILITY IN THE HEAVIER
SHOWERS. SKIES CLEAR TONIGHT MAKING FOR ANOTHER RELATIVELY CHILLY
NIGHT ESPECIALLY THOSE FAVORED COLD POOLS. TOMORROW WILL BE SLIGHTLY
WARMER WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHTER WINDS.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1225 PM MST SUN JAN 25 2026
RIDGING OVER THE WEST COAST WILL KEEP US IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO GRADUALLY WARM UP THROUGH THE WEEK.
THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FEW WAVES TO MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW, WHICH
WOULD BRING CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE
TREND OF NO SIGNIFICANT SYSTEMS LATE IN THE PERIOD CONTINUES INTO
NEXT WEEKEND.
