Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Manitou Springs, CO

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/
Issued at 1139 AM MST Fri Nov 6 2026

Currently...Upper low dropping south into western AZ this afternoon was producing widespread mid and high level cloudiness across Colorado. Otherwise a very pleasant day across the region, with temps as of 11 AM in the 40s for the high valleys, and 50s across the plains. Temperature readings are forecast to warm another 2 to 4 degrees for most locations through the afternoon.

Tonight...Upper low to the southwest is expected to potentially produce a few isolated showers along the Continental Divide late this afternoon into early evening, with the best chance for anything across the southwest mts. Regardless, isolated POPs and bare minimum QPF means little if anything is likely to reach the ground. Plan on gradual lessening of the cloud shield through the overnight hours, with minimum temps in the 20s for the high valleys and 30s for the plains.

Saturday and Saturday night...Broad area of high pressure builds into the region, ushering in a period of dry conditions, lighter winds and warm temperatures residing right at or slightly above seasonal normals. Look for high temps tomorrow in the 50s for the high valleys, and upper 50s to mid 60s for the plains. Moore

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Issued at 1139 AM MST Fri Nov 6 2026

Little change overall through the extended period for the forecast area, as broad high pressure ridge keeps the state dry and warm.
Extended models do agree on an upper shortwave crossing the ridge Tue evening, brushing by the forecast area and perhaps knocking a few degrees off high temps for Wed. Once that passes, the ridge becomes amplified over the Great Basin and Rocky Mt regions, keeping CO dry but open to passing waves brushing by to the east.
