A milder Wednesday High pressure is now fully in-control across Colorado. The closed, clockwise circulation of the high is easy to identify in today's 500mb map below. By 5:00 PM this evening, the center of the high will be across southwestern Kansas. Further west across the Great Basin, a weak trough is brewing. This trough will move through our area …

The wintry storm system which brought a light dusting of snow to portions of the Metro area over the weekend (and much much more in the Mountains!) continues its exit south and east of Colorado. The Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are now in the cross-hairs. High pressure will quickly be building into Colorado from the west today, but we're still situated …

Colder air continues to filter in today, along with the "small" chance of snow. The storm system today and evening remains on track to move west to east to our south (below), being along the New Mexico/Colorado border this evening. A consensus among the forecast models now indicate that the main axis of snow will occur south of the Front …

The first of two cold frontal waves has pushed through earlier. Behind it, upslope component flow will be the norm today with temperatures on the colder side in the middle to upper 30's. Snow will continue across the higher terrain to our west throughout the day/evening hours. Some of these snow showers may "spill" over onto the Plains this afternoon/evening …

As we mentioned in our DayCAST's the past couple days, we've been watching a strong atmospheric river event which has already started and will continue to affect the High Country through Sunday with periods of heavy snow and possible blizzard conditions at times. We also mentioned a strong northwest to southeast oriented jet streak across the area today. With that, …

We issued a short forecast update yesterday covering the developing atmospheric river event that will slowly pile-up snow across the mountains of Colorado in the coming days. It's not really the intensity or the magnitude of the moisture influx to Colorado, but instead the rather stationary nature of the river for a prolonged period that will lead to snow totals …

The stretch of brief ridging that began Monday night will come to an end this evening as our next quick-moving trough passes from east to west across the Rockies. The NAM 500 mb vorticity animation below spans from this morning through tonight. Notice that initially a small-scale ridge is present over the Front Range. The main trough axis is poised …
