We end the week with temperatures once again near the middle 40's under Partly Cloudy skies. The ridge of high pressure, as noted in our weekly outlook on Monday, is actually slower to move in than we originally thought. Northwest flow remains over our region (below), thanks to a trough still present in the Midwest. High pressure though will be …

A little cooler, more mountain snow A sizable, but disorganized trough has overtaken the Intermountain West including Colorado today. This trough consists of the Pacific energy that came ashore earlier in the week, but also the remnants of a large cut-off low that has scooted northward from Mexico. The bulk of the energy remains well south of our area in …

Happy New Year!  We begin 2020 with an overall pleasant day thanks to continued northwesterly downslope and a milder pre-frontal airmass being situated across all of eastern Colorado. It will be a day of transition, however, as unperturbed northwest flow morphs into a deepening trough across the central Rockies. The NAM 500mb height and vorticity animation below depicts this shift …

2019 ends quietly Today's weather will be cool and quiet as Colorado remains in-between storm systems. There is a large cut-off low well to our southwest offshore and a ridge of high pressure stretching eastward from the Pacific Northwest. This set-up has left our area under the control of cool northwest flow today, not unlike yesterday. Expect sunny skies with …

The snow system is long gone, making its way up into Minnesota this morning (below). Snow, however, is still expected to fall today over Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and northern Minnesota. Over our neck of the woods, northwest flow has taken over. Lingering snow showers will be present over the higher terrain, but dry weather for us on the …

Alarge conglomeration of moderate snowfall has developed across primarily the northern Metro area overnight, though this is starting to spread southward into Denver as well as of 6:30 AM. In Boulder, we already have around 1.5" of snow on the ground. In the GOES-East infrared satellite animation below, the colder/deeper cloud tops over the northern Front Range are visible indicating …

Colder and snowy conditions will take hold on the area later today into tomorrow. We start the day with patchy fog. Partly cloudy skies will take over briefly before overcast skies lead the way in the afternoon to early evening. Highs  in the upper 30's will be the norm. We would not be surprised if snow showers are around in …
