West-southwesterly downslope flow will continue today across Colorado with basically no changes expected in our weather, other than being a few degrees warmer than our Monday. GOES-East satellite imagery shows the setup across the nation. The storm which brought us snow Friday into Saturday is now producing heavy snow in New York City and Boston. Here in the Front Range, …

As of Sunday morning, the mid-level low pressure which was responsible for yesterday's light snowfall here (but not Friday night's heavy snowfall) continues to head eastward.

A nearly stationary band of convective snow showers formed along a line of convergence in the northern Metro area, stretching roughly from Lakewood, through Broomfield and northeast to Greeley.

It's pretty cool to visualize and to see the solar heating in action via heating …
