An impressive burst of heavy snow late last evening produced a few inches of slushy accumulation across most of the Denver Metro area. With temperatures hovering between 32 and 34 degrees overnight, this snow has already started melting and that trend will conclude with most snow gone by mid-day today. Very light snow mixing with drizzle and fog will intermittently continue …

A cold and dreary day expected today. Maybe a little bit of sunshine but overall lots of clouds, with rain on the way this afternoon. A deep upper-level trough is present over California. It will be a major player for us this week, sending waves of energy and precipitation chances through mid to late week. The first wave comes this …

The upper-level trough which was to our west yesterday has pushed a little to the east into Wyoming. Actually, there are now two main centers of low-pressure at 500 mb. One is in Wyoming as we just mentioned, with a second over the panhandle of Texas (below). A trough axis connects the two of these. As the day wears on …

As mentioned in our DayCAST yesterday, today will be our best chance of rain/storms as we close out the work week. A deep and elongated trough of low pressure is situated over western Utah and eastern Nevada (below), poised to send ripples of energy into eastern Colorado from late morning into early evening. At the same time, northeast Colorado will …

Another hot one today, but chance of storms Yesterday saw the mercury spike across portions of northeast Colorado to 90+ degrees for the first time in 2019, including the cities of Greeley, Sterling, and Yuma.  Temperatures in the Metro area were more modest in the low to middle 80's. Shown below are yesterday's reported high temperatures. Those very warm temperatures will …

Warm Wednesday! The high temperature yesterday at BoulderCAST Station was 84 degrees before high-base storm clouds rolled in to cool things off. This was the warmest day thus far in 2019! We'll likely get similarly toasty today, possibly a degree or two higher due to a lessened storm chances and a warmer overall airmass. The HRRR forecast graphic below shows …

Another warm and primarily dry day A significant ridge is holding strong across Colorado today, though there once again will be a few high-base thunderstorms firing this afternoon and early evening. It's unlikely such storms would produce anything more than brief light rainfall and gusty winds across the Metro area. We put the chance of rain only in the 10% …
