Our late-season spring storm system has pulled only slightly eastward today into Nebraska and has weakened further. Lingering northerly flow will keep the clouds mostly socked-in throughout our Wednesday, along with unseasonably cold air aloft across eastern Colorado.  The northerly flow and cold anomaly can be seen in the 700 mb map below. Even though temperatures will be relatively cool …

Severe weather yesterday On Sunday, Mother Nature delivered the first severe weather outbreak to impact the Denver Metro area this year.
