As we race towards the end of March, I have to say this will be one of the nicer days we've seen this month as quiet weather unfolds for our Wednesday. There is a very weak backdoor cold front working into northeast Colorado from Nebraska early this morning which can be seen on the GOES-East microphysics satellite animation below. Notice …
Following yesterday's fresh snow and then skies clearing overnight, temperatures have plummeted across northeast Colorado early this morning. Most areas are in the teens and single digits, but Boulder is one of the few "warm" spots in the 20s right now. When factoring in the wind, it is surprisingly cold out there for this late in March --- especially out …
Yesterday evening's guidance came in further south with our second system moving through late tonight through Monday, leading us to have higher confidence that snow will occur late tonight into midday Monday. But ahead of that, we'll be rather quiet for most of our Sunday. Sunshine into the afternoon will slowly lead to increasing clouds by evening and especially tonight. …
The mid-level system which brought some light snow to the area earlier this morning will track back north into central Wyoming this afternoon. As a result, dry air will filter in today, along with a gusty downslope flow setting in for the Plains. We can't rule out a few snow showers or rain for the early morning, but most areas …
Astrong storm system at mid-levels today will track east-southeast tonight into Saturday morning. Deep lift will be tied to this as it tracks across the northern part of Colorado. After highs in the upper 40s, we'll see dropping temperatures below freezing overnight tonight behind a strong cold front. Expect increasing clouds as the system approaches tonight, along with our chance …
Water vapor imagery this morning shows a closed-low still stalled out near the Bay Area --- essentially making no eastward progress over the last 36 hours. Out ahead of this low, several shortwave disturbances and deep moisture are pushing across the Four Corners region (though there is a bit of a dry slot mixed in to everything). Abundant moisture, springtime …
Another atmospheric river is flowing into southern California this morning and that moisture will head towards Colorado this evening through Wednesday bringing another round of heavy snow to the Mountains. The low pressure throwing this moisture our way is located off the coast of central California. There is still some light snow falling now across the Mountains from yesterday's system …
