Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across
the region this afternoon and evening, with the best coverage over

Friday will be much cooler. Showers will be possible in the morning
over some locations, with some thunderstorms developing over parts
of the region during the afternoon and early evening. The best

For Saturday, it will be much warmer and breezy, with isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms expected. Most of the activity
will occur during the afternoon time period.

For Sunday and Monday, widespread critical fire conditions are
expected over the plains as humidity values will be quite low
both days and strong southwesterly winds are expected.

For Tuesday and Wednesday, the weather is expected to be cooler with
higher elevations snows and valley showers. Showers and
thunderstorms may occur over the plains. The snowfall over the
higher elevations of the mountains may be significant.
