Awarmer day along with more sunshine and less haze is in store today. High pressure over western Kansas will bring about southerly flow on the Plains this afternoon and bring a warmer airmass into the region. We should see upper 60s to lower 70s. Clouds will be on the increase later this afternoon as storms start to develop. The southerly …
Acold front has pushed through the region. Behind it, a cooler airmass is in place. In addition to that, moist low-levels remains across the Front Range. This is very apparent in the sounding below, which shows the temperature (red line) and dewpoint (green line) very close to one another, indicating high relative humidity. This moisture aided by weak upslope and …
More of the same type of weather is expected today as largely identical conditions exist compared to yesterday with weak ridging present across the West, limited moisture in our area, and west-northwest flow over Colorado. Our next weather system is gearing up across Montana and Idaho --- that will arrive into the Front Range on Thursday. Today's similar setup means …
The last seven days have been incredibly wet across the Front Range, even by "climatologically wettest month of the year" standards! Just about everyone has received more than 3.5" of precipitation (mostly rainfall) since the explosion of hail and lightning in eastern Boulder County last Tuesday. Portions of the southern Metro area have seen double that amount, incredibly receiving over …
Amoist upslope flow will be in place today and tonight as a weak area of low pressure resides over northern Texas. Northeasterly flow aloft and at the surface will make for a nasty, cloudy, and rainy day with highs in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees. At the surface (bottom-most figure), the upslope will also exist. Expect periods of …
We remain in a cool and below normal pattern for the start of the weekend. A surface low over eastern Nebraska has a cold front tied to it. The front is well south of us after moving through yesterday. Nevertheless, the cool airmass is largely unchanged from Friday. We should top out in the upper 50s to lower 60s as …
