Another round of late-day storms The weather theme for the rest of the week will be decreasing atmospheric moisture content and rising temperatures across the Front Range, though the overall changes will be rather slow to materialize for us thanks to a stagnant large-scale pattern. For today, we're generally within a small-scale ridge, though some pieces of energy are embedded …

Last day of June (can you believe it??). And it appears the atmosphere will end the month on a wet note. While yesterday was once again mainly dry, the atmosphere turns much moister this afternoon and evening, with total column water vapor approaching one inch. This combined with some weak disturbances tracking through from the southwest with lead to a …

The mid-level ridge shifts ever so slightly to the east of us today, which in turn will lead to moisture increasing this afternoon, evening, and into tomorrow as well. The ridge moving east just a little will allow the moisture to build in from the southwest tied to a monsoon-type scenario. It may not be the monsoon itself, but its …

Phew, our weekly forecast has been right on track this week. The heat has really taken hold. Yesterday DIA topped out at 94 degrees and Boulder near 91 degrees. At our BoulderCAST station, 92 degrees. We see no reason to believe we won't get a few degrees warmer today with a slight increase in the mid-level heights and temperature advection. Highs …

Very little has changed in the large-scale pattern since yesterday. Neither the trough nor ridge have moved at all. Warm and not-very moist southwest flow continues to push into Colorado which will translate into another very warm and mainly dry day for the Metro area. Expect highs in the upper 80's this afternoon with a mix of clouds and sunshine. …

Slight chance of high-base storms today Today will be a day of transition from the northwest flow (and associated wave clouds) we saw yesterday to the hotter weather which will take over the rest of the week. We're just beginning to see hints of a ridge axis developing across the southern Great Plains this morning. This ridge will intensify and …

Highs on the chilly side once again, boy has this summer been interesting to say the least! Highs to reach the lower 60's this afternoon. West and northwest flow is ensuing later today and tonight as the trough finally moves out. With cold air aloft and some daytime instability under Partly Sunny skies, this should be enough to give some …
