As we see typically for the weather in Colorado during the autumn season, a snow storm can be followed by milder temperatures. That is certainly what will happen today. Much of the snow will melt today, if it hasn't already,  under full sunshine thanks to a ridge of high pressure in southern California pushing east. The system which brought us …

The snow is over....for now It looks like the advertised gradient in snow amounts has verified rather well based on early snow reports and observations. There is between 5 and 6" of snow sitting on the snow table at CU Boulder, while DIA only reported a trace of snow. The rest of the Denver Metro area in between likely will …

Better agreement this morning Thankfully most of the models are narrowing in on a shared solution this morning helping us to pinpoint exactly how much snow the area will see later this evening and tonight. Let's take a quick run through some of the newer model runs... First, total precipitation from the storm from four key models below. We see remarkably good …

A northwest flow kind of week The big storm system that largely passed to our north over the weekend continues to head away into the Great Lakes region today. We also have a persistent ridge of high pressure holding across the West Coast right now. This ridge isn't expected to make much eastward progress over the next several days. The net result of …

Windy and much cooler today thanks to that strong area of low pressure over North Dakota (below). The low-level wind speeds and heights are shown below. The system will be passing to our north today as it moves eastward. As it does so, a strong cross-mountain flow will develop across the Front Range, as indicated by the green arrow. Gusts …

A quiet day overall, but things turn much more active overnight tonight into Sunday. For a large part of the day, we will be sunny and calm with highs in the low to middle 60's under southeasterly flow. The mid-level pattern late tonight is shown below. A deep area of low pressure will be over north-central Wyoming, with a band …

Cold front will be making its way through near mid-day today. The reason for this is a fast-moving elongated trough (below left) axis. This trough doesn't have a ton of energy with it, but it will be enough to bring down another surge of cooler autumn air.  The frontal boundary pushes well through the area before noon time (below right), …
