June 8, 2015 / Andy

After a weak cold frontal passage last evening, we are mostly tranquil for today outside of a few spotty afternoon storms in Boulder County. The weather this week will feature another warmup into the 80’s. By late week, we turn to a cooler and unsettled weather pattern.

Greetings Boulderites! After some dry days for the beginning of this week and highs rebounding into the upper 60’s and middle 70’s Monday through Thursday, we turn to yet another wet weather pattern to end the week. The visible satellite image above shows an upper-level low pressure system centered over northwestern Wyoming as of this afternoon. This system, along with a cold front, will be the major weather player for tomorrow and Saturday. We take a look at this system and the warmup later this weekend.

The week ahead: Cool and wet weather followed by a slight warm-up

The week ahead will feature a couple upper-level low pressure systems pushing into Colorado from the west. The first system comes in Tuesday, with a second one arriving for the weekend. This will lead to the chances for showers and occasional storms as well. Mixed in between these systems will be a slight warming trend by week’s end.

The first full week of May looks to be rather unsettled, as a series of upper-level low pressure systems advance through Colorado. The first pushes in from the southwest on Tue/Wed, while a more potent storm system comes in from the west, affecting the forecast for the latter half of the week, including the University of Colorado’s Commencement.

Powdercast: A powder weekend and snow chances next week

April 17, 2015 / Andy

After this current strong upper level low pressure system exits this weekend, the week ahead will continue to feature an active storm track. That will mean we should continue to see chances for snow in the high country, which is sure to satisfy the late season skiers!
