After nearly a  week straight of minor impacts from the stalled cut-off low to our north, I'm happy to report that today this system has finally kicked eastward into the Dakotas and Minnesota. With this, the trough axis has now moved east of the Denver Metro and drier north-northwest flow has taken over across the area (see below). The low …

While clouds have developed, we should see temperatures rise another 5-8 degrees, pushing our highs into the low to middle 60s, a cool but pleasant October day. The cold front is off to our south and east today, with …

The upper-trough remains over to our north in Wyoming and Montana. Another ripple of energy will stream through in the southwest flow south of this system. In addition, afternoon instability will approach marginal levels to warrant isolated to scattered afternoon and evening storms, tapering off after 9 to 10 PM tonight. Lots of cloud cover will keep temperatures on the …

A shear axis at mid-levels will be an added lift factor for these showers/storms to form east of the mountains this afternoon and evening. The plot below also shows theta-e, a …

A cut-off low pressure system across the northern Rockies will bring unsettled weather to the area beginning today and lasting into early next week. The GOES-East infrared satellite animation this morning shows clouds and moisture just starting to enter …
