DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1018 PM MDT MON SEP 7 2026
DRIER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO MORE ZONAL
FLOW BY WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
AS A RESULT, GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES AND WARMING TEMPERATURES WILL BE
THE STORY FOR THE COMING WEEK. THERE IS A LOW (<15%) CHANCE FOR AN
ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM OVER THE SAN JUANS AND DIVIDE EACH
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK, WITH POTENTIAL TO DROP BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL VALUES OVER THE WEEKEND. GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT A POTENTIAL
MOISTURE RETURN AT THAT POINT, AS A TROUGH MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND PUSHES THE HIGH TO THE EAST. HOWEVER, AGREEMENT ON
THIS SOLUTION IS STILL SOMEWHAT POOR, SO STAY TUNED IF YOU HAVE
PLANS THIS COMING WEEKEND. IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY THE PLEASANT
LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL CONDITIONS.
