Beautiful weather on our Sunday. The weather across the nation is shown below for the mid-level 500-hPa geopotential heights. An area of low pressure is centered near Missouri. This storm was responsible for bringing us the cool front last evening. A secondary system is located over northwestern Mexico. Meanwhile, high pressure over Nevada will be slowly taking over today, transitioning …

Lots more sunshine today, thankfully! Our low-level pattern for today is shown below. While the pattern is overall better, we do actually have an area of low pressure to our northeast in southeastern South Dakota (below). This system is moving toward the east-southeast as the afternoon and evening wears on. Ahead of it, most of us should rise to the …

The chilly, dreary, and snowy past few days are over...the upcoming weekend is looking much better overall. Today will be our last day of mostly cloudy skies. The mid-level pattern over the west is shown below. There are two areas of low pressure to our south and west, one weak system in Arizona, and a secondary, more wrapped-up storm in …

Temperatures never quite dropped below freezing last night. At BoulderCAST Station, we had readings between 32 and 33 degrees during most of the overnight hours, but with snow mixing in as early …

The leading edge of the cold front moved through the region just after midnight last night with brief gusty winds and patchy dense fog developing on the backside. The two storm systems we have been discussing all week are bearing down on Colorado right now. The first is located in southeast Colorado with the secondary one in Utah. You can see …

Another chance of rain May in Colorado should be synonymous with rain. Embedded within a larger troughing pattern, two smaller disturbances are located across the Rockies right now (see below). Unfortunately, both will be players in our weather throughout the rest of the week as they are moving rather slow and are clearly in no hurry to move eastward. As you can …

We end the weekend with temperatures slightly warmer than yesterday. The mid-level pattern has changed little in the past 24 hours. One difference is a more slight push of warmer air from the desert southwest (below). This will push in temperatures near 20 degrees Celsius this afternoon and evening. That should help push us into the middle 70's, just splendid …
