Colorado once again resides in a mostly benign northwest flow regime with relatively dry air aloft. Weak high pressure is situated near Las Vegas, with the clockwise flow around this high bringing in the drier air to our area from the northwest. This will lead to another mostly dry day across the Front Range with storms only developing across the …

It will increase in speed out of the northwest causing any storms that develop up there to drift southeastward towards Boulder and Denver. Moisture is limited with precipitable water values …

Yesterday a moist trough axis was located northwest to southeast, moving right through southwest Colorado. Today, that trough axis has pushed further to the north and east, stretching into northwest Colorado and as far east as south-central Colorado. In the center of the axis is a mesoscale, or small-scale, low pressure system. This will help to force afternoon/evening showers storms …

Amid-level trough axis will shift east today from where it was yesterday. On Friday, it was just slicing through the Four Corners.
