Aweak cold front has pushed through, and, behind it, easterly flow has ensued. This won't prevent us from warming nicely into the upper 70s to perhaps close to 80. But it will bring a chance of scattered late-day and evening storms. That chance will be tied to an upper-level wave that will track through in the southwest flow aloft. This …

Awarm and dry southwest flow will persist today to end our work week. High pressure over the central/southern Plains and a cold front approaching from the Pacific Northwest will set up a good warm advection regime over the state. Lots of sunshine will bring highs into the lower 80s this afternoon. There is no chance of storms today given dry …

An active weather pattern currently sits across most of the contiguous United States, including here in Colorado. While the nation is lacking any truly strong storm systems right now (no major severe outbreaks, mid-latitude cyclones, cold air infusions), there are plenty of embedded shortwave features and small cut-off low pressures. One such shortwave is entering Colorado from this northwest this …

Atightly-packed shortwave disturbance is sliding across Wyoming today -- notice the rotating vorticity max visible on this morning's GOES-East water vapor animation below. Though the bulk of the energy from this shortwave will pass north of Colorado, there is some trailing energy extending southward that will aid in the threat of showers and storms for us later today and tonight. …

Tclosed upper trough will make its way east today and weaken as it does so. However, that movement will be slow and it won't fully move out until the evening. With that, we'll see a fair bit of cloud cover mixed with some afternoon sunshine before scattered showers and a few storms develop later. Another view is the 5,000 feet …

Aband of scattered showers and some embedded storms will develop later this afternoon and evening in response to a cutoff closed low that will move overtop the region into Sunday afternoon. Some weak instability will develop this afternoon and evening and fuel a few showers to produce some thunder/lightning, but we are not expecting any severe threat. The storm chance …
