Detailed Forecast Discussion: We end the weekend on the milder side. A nice downslope pattern takes shape this afternoon, as evidenced by westerly flow across the higher terrain onto the Plains (below). Note also the warmer temperatures over eastern Colorado. This, along with abundant sunshine, should push most areas well into the upper 50's. Though, we can't rule out some …

Detailed Forecast Discussion: A weak cool front has slid through eastern sections of the state overnight last night. In its wake, a slight cooling of the airmass has developed over the Front Range. Yet, at the mid-levels high pressure remains largely in place, situated over Wyoming. That is going to spell out another sunny afternoon with temperatures in the lower …

A secondary system will drop southwestward (yes southwestward!) out of central Canada and arrive to the region tomorrow. Both systems are starved …

Detailed Forecast Discussion: A cold front has pushed through, as expected. In response, northerly upslope flow has ensued. Temperatures will have a hard time getting out of the upper 30's over the Plains, though it will be sunny so that is a good thing. We hope you had a pleasant and safe Thanksgiving weekend with family and/or friends. Weak high …
