A strong low pressure system passing to our north will wrap in a potent jet stream to northern Colorado in the coming days. This will result in a period of Mountain snow, but to the east several days of strong downslope winds and high fire danger for the lower elevations. Read on for all the details of the weather week ahead.
⦁❶⦁ A wet storm system will spread rain, thunder and eventually some snow across the area today into tonight
⦁❷⦁ After highs in the 50s, a strong cold front blows through by early evening with tumbling temperatures and blustery northeast winds to 40 MPH
⦁❸⦁ Rain will change to snow during the mid to late evening, with that transition happening earlier in the Foothills and Palmer Divide
⦁❹⦁ Generally less than 1″ of accumulation is expected across the lower elevations, but several inches in the higher terrain
