This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Isolated showers and thunderstorms are forecast along the
Continental Divide this morning, then will increase in coverage and
spread to the rest of the higher terrain through the afternoon and
evening. The Continental Divide will bear the brunt of expected
convection, with widespread activity anticipated by this evening.
The main risk from storms will be cloud to ground lightning, wind
gusts to 45 mph and periods of moderate rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

A large Pacific trough across the Pacific Northwest will slowly move
towards the southern California coast by Sunday night. It will then
move east-northeast and should cross Colorado by mid week.

This system will bring unsettled weather and some cooling to the
higher terrain, and especially to the Continental Divide, Sunday
through Tuesday, then possibly spread to the Pikes Peak region on
Wednesday as this system ejects to the northeast across the Rocky
Mountain region.

Temperatures are expected to remain well above normal through
Monday, then some cooling moves in on Tuesday, and then
significant cooling is forecast for Wednesday through Friday. The
first freeze for the high valleys is forecast for Wednesday night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters will not be needed today or tonight.

Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Grand Junction CO
1053 AM MDT Fri Oct 9 2026

A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw
in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this
weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high
moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah
and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation
increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts
range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts
favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains.

Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing
the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While
confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time,
the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry
arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday.

Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans
including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western
Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above
your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below
sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.
