The week begins warm and sunny, but don’t be fooled as an autumn cold front is looming. Our coldest day in more than four months is developing for Tuesday alongside low clouds and drizzle. However, the end of the week will see above normal temperatures return.
An extraordinary winter storm is taking aim on the northern Rockies this weekend. Fortunately (unfortunately?), the feet of snow in the forecast are not for Colorado. We take a look at this classic upslope event and also discuss the impacts that this historic system with massive breadth will have on our area.

Those who get closest to the date of our first snow win.
The seasons are changing! A series of temperature swings will be present this week, from potential record heat to more seasonal values for the beginning of Autumn. We’ll be mainly dry, but colder air will begin to knock on our door by the weekend. Read on for more details.
Two strong Pacific storm systems are moving ashore this week but unfortunately will pass mainly north of Colorado. This will result in continued warm conditions with little opportunity for rainfall or Mountain snow as we conclude the summer season.
Damaging hail fell across northern portions of the Metro area Wednesday evening. The storm system responsible is already out the door, with a lengthy period of sunshine about to overtake our forecast.
This week we discuss warmer than normal temperatures through Wednesday, followed by slightly cooler weather to end the week. As something to look forward to, the upcoming weekend is shaping up to be rather pleasant!
