Mountain areas, including the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests, are expected to experience small, scattered showers. Hikers and campers should be prepared for brief rain showers and carry appropriate gear.
What to Expect in the Mountains
While the valleys stay dry, the higher elevations may see light precipitation. These showers are typically short‑lived and should not impact major travel routes, but drivers heading into the mountains should stay alert for changing conditions.
Tips for a Safe Weekend
