Updated at 916 PM MDT Mon Sep 1 2025 - Isolated thunderstorm chances through much of the week will be confined to area mountains. - High temperatures through the week remain near normal to just above normal. - Rainfall chances start to return for Friday into Saturday as we get some moisture returning from the south. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 916 PM MDT Mon Sep 1 2025 High pressure will continue to slowly migrate north and west, elongating from the EPZ area to southern British Columbia by midweek. High temperatures will gradually increase each day but temperatures will stay near to just below normal for this time of year. In addition, we can expect a bit of a break from storms with this pattern. Isolated thunderstorms possible in the area mountains each afternoon through Thursday. Still looks like an increase in activity Friday and Saturday as long range models are suggesting Tropical Depression Twelve-E (eventually Lorena) crosses Baja California later in the work week and looks to pass over the area Friday and Saturday. If this does occur, this would bring good rain chances areawide. However, forecast confidence remains low at this time. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 916 PM MDT Mon Sep 1 2025 VFR conditions will persist through the TAF period. Even less storm activity expected tomorrow afternoon. Isolated storms and showers expected in the area mountains but not much expected elsewhere. Winds remain light tonight with mild southerly breeziness during the afternoon. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1107 AM MDT Mon Sep 1 2025 Drier air has started to move into the area from the north and will continue to do so through midweek. Temperatures will be gradually warming up back into the upper 80s to mid 90s for the lowlands by Wednesday. Min RH`s will be falling back into the mid teens to mid 20s as well by midweek but winds will remain light. Just some isolated mountain storms are possible each afternoon. Going into Fri and Sat, there are some hints at some remnant tropical moisture moving in which would bring widespread moderate rainfall totals to the area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
