Clearing skies make for a great autumn day Hope you weren't caught off guard by yesterday's cold front and the round of gloom and freezing drizzle that followed! Fortunately the very chilly airmass that spilled into the Front Range on Wednesday only brushed our area. Westerly downslope flow will help to slowly erode the cold air and low clouds, making for a much …

Mild early, then falling temperatures and eventually spotty freezing drizzle The day will begin rather pleasant with mild temperatures as the Metro area is situated comfortably within the pre-frontal airmass. Expect early day highs in the 50's as a result. However, this will change as a shallow cold front sags into the area with temperatures slowly dropping the rest of the …

Mild Tuesday, but a brush of winter tomorrow night Cool and dry northwest flow continues across the area once again. With yesterday's slightly cooler airmass pushing eastward, this will open the door for more seasonal temperatures today. We'll refrain from calling it "warm" since the expected high temperature near 60 degrees is just about normal for early November in Boulder.

In the mid-levels, the northwest flow has remained across the Upper Midwest and stretching into Colorado. However, the bulk of this cold air is well off to our north and east. That will mean we should see another warm day compared to the …

Warmer and more pleasant temperatures to take over today and the rest of this weekend. The upper-level jet stream (below) has edge ever so slightly to our north and east into the Midwestern U.S. To our west, as noted by the orange dashed line, weak ridging will build in this afternoon. That will spell out a day full of sunshine …

More on that later. Today, the mid-level pattern has the region in that northwest flow still (below). A trough axis is moving …

A placid end to October! Following the active weather pattern of late, it's nice to transition back to quieter conditions for a time. After a shift to stronger downslope winds last night, warmer air aloft will mix down to the surface today from the northwest and lead to a 20-degree jump in temperatures compared to yesterday. The Arctic airmass was …
