.DISCUSSION /Through Thursday/...
Issued at 236 PM MDT Thu Oct 30 2025

It's an exceptionally quiet day across the forecast area, with
satellite imagery showing no cloud cover anywhere in the state...
and a quick glance out the window confirms that. Meanwhile,
temperatures remain below normal... with DEN only recently hitting
53F for a couple of minutes. Temperatures across the rest of the
I-25 corridor and plains have generally hit the mid 50s and
shouldn't warm up much more this afternoon.

Tomorrow will see cool weather continue, as weak cold front pushes
into the plains during the morning hours. Temperatures will likely
stay fairly steady in the upper 40s to low 50s with at least a
little more cloud cover than what we've seen today. 

As we get into the weekend, a broad upper ridge is expected to
dominate the pattern, with Colorado sitting on the northeastern
edge of the ridge. We'll likely see a return to above normal
temperatures (perhaps well above normal/near record temps on
Sunday) but a little bit of wind with modest 700-500mb flow aloft. 

The pattern doesn't look to changes significantly next week, with
a good signal for the ridge to persist. Above normal temperatures
are likely through the period. There are hints at a shortwave
approaching by Thursday, but ensemble guidance is still quite 
bearish on precipitation potential with that wave.
