BoulderCAST Daily – Tue 10/18/22 | Another mild & cloudless day, but change is brewing for the weekend

Another tranquil and cloudless day is expected across the Front Range as a deep (deep!) trough remains over the Great Lakes and a big ridge holds across the Pacific Northwest. These highly amplified weather features surrounding us to our east and west are creating due northerly flow over Colorado. There is even a hint of a more rare northeasterly flow …

The next several days will be fairly tranquil across the Front Range as moderately strong northwest flow persists over the area.

A line of clouds is lurking to the north though, slowly sagging southward across the Great Plains. This is the cold front we've been discussing all week! As of earlier this morning, the front was situated across northern Wyoming and Nebraska. The …

BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 10/05/22 | A couple of pleasant autumn days are inbound

After nearly a  week straight of minor impacts from the stalled cut-off low to our north, I'm happy to report that today this system has finally kicked eastward into the Dakotas and Minnesota. With this, the trough axis has now moved east of the Denver Metro and drier north-northwest flow has taken over across the area (see below). The low …
