Aquiet stretch of weather remains in place across Colorado today as relatively benign and seasonably mild southwest flow continues to dominate the region. GOES-East water vapor imagery early this morning shows a pocket of drier air sliding across the Front Range, helping support another round of mostly sunny skies through at least the first half of the day.

We had some concern that areas of fog might develop across portions of the Denver Metro early this morning, but observations around sunrise show that threat never really materialized. Instead, the more notable feature overhead is a band of mountain wave cloudiness. Coverage does not appear as extensive as yesterday, but these clouds will likely linger through much of the …

With plenty of low-level moisture left behind, clear skies overnight, and a light upslope flow helping trap that moisture near the surface, dense fog has developed across much of the region early this morning. Visibility has dropped to well under a mile in many areas, …

The latest GOES-West water vapor imagery shows an impressive closed upper-level low spinning just off the Southern California coast this morning. Wrapping around the southern flank of this circulation is a robust subtropical jet stream, effectively acting as an atmospheric conveyor belt transporting deep Pacific moisture northeastward into the Desert Southwest. The source region for much of this moisture extends …

While a few of these echoes may appear to spread onto the Plains from time to time, the low levels of the atmosphere …
