Quick warm-up with slight chance of storms Similar to yesterday, despite the epic ridge holding strong and lack of much forcing, there is just enough moisture present in the atmosphere to allow for the development of widely scattered showers and storms today. The action will be most prevalent across the Mountains, but stormy skies will fill in over Boulder and Denver too …

Warmer with a small chance of storms Slightly warmer temperatures will take hold these next two days in Boulder and Denver as the potent high pressure remains nearby and the cooler airmass of yesterday moves away. The expected track of Hurricane Dorian is almost exactly contouring the coastline of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The best track projection has no landfall, but …

Very HOT Labor Day New record high temperatures were set in both Boulder and Denver on Sunday at 98 degrees.

We may get close to this territory today with high pressure in HUGE control (below) over the state. The shading below denotes temperature anomalies, which are upwards of 6 standard deviations above the mean! What a …

Temperatures will be on the uptick today and the rest of the holiday weekend as the ridge parks itself right over Colorado for record heat.

The frontal position this afternoon is shown in the near-surface temperature field below. High pressure remains across Nebraska, with east-southeasterly surface winds banked up along the …

A dry heat The large-scale weather pattern today will again facilitate high temperatures pushing close to 90 degrees. There continues to be a ridge of high pressure holding strong over Arizona. Across Colorado, drier west to northwest flow will be the story once more. A significant trough is dropping south into the Great Lakes right now. However, it's a little too …
