Agood chance of storms will exist this afternoon and evening as a trough moves across the northern Rockies along with a moderate jet streak for late June passing trough northern Colorado.

The current large scale pattern is shown in the 500mb GFS height anomaly forecast panel below. The big storm system up in southern Canada has a trailing trough stretching all the way southward into northern Colorado --- this is …
