FNUS55 KPUB 152046 FWFPUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast FOR S Cntrl and Sern Colorado National Weather Service Pueblo Co 246 PM MDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .Discussion... A cool and drier airmass continues to push into the region, leading to clearing skies and cold overnight lows district wide. Warmer conditions remain in the offing for the weekend and into early next week, as upper level ridging builds back across the Central Rockies. There will be a slow increase in moisture allowing for isolated mountain showers early next week, with increasing southwest flow ahead of another storm system bringing increasing precipitation coverage across the Continental Divide into the middle of next week. Cooler and and more unsettled weather can be expected towards the end of next week, as said system translates across the state. Afternoon smoke dispersion will be generally poor across the district tomorrow and again on Saturday, save for brief periods of fair to good dispersion across the far southeast plains. --- thunderstorms imply strong gusty and erratic winds --- COZ220-161030- Upper Arkansas River Valley Including Lake County and Chaffee County- 246 PM MDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .TONIGHT...
