The weekend leaves off from where we ended our week yesterday, lots of sunshine and temperatures topping out in the lower 70's. As shown below, we are really not in a ridge pattern. A weak trough axis is moving through Colorado this afternoon and early evening. A few ripples of energy are contained in the flow. Also of note is …

Gorgeous day to end our week! The upper-level pattern across our area (below) shows general westerly flow across the state. The jet stream is mainly to our north, though a streak is present with speeds around 60 mph near Wyoming. While this isn't technically a ridge pattern, it is going to spell out warmer weather starting today and continuing through …

One more unsettled day... The trough across the northern Rockies which has been plaguing our area since Monday morning will hold for one more day across northern Colorado. The final piece of energy associated with this trough will be pushing through this afternoon and evening, with the axis itself ticketed to move through the overnight hours tonight. With this, we anticipate …

Today will look a lot like yesterday in the morning with low clouds and fog possible across the Plains, but the area should clear at least to partly cloudy skies as the morning wears on and into the afternoon. In addition to the sunshine creating instability, a rippled jet stream will be directly overhead today with embedded jet streaks. All of …

A fresh blanket of wet snow has fallen across most of the area last evening and night. Anywhere from a dusting to 4" of snow was reported across the Metro area. The highest totals are around Boulder northward towards Loveland. We'll have a full recap of the storm posted later today or tomorrow with a more in-depth post-snow discussion. There …

We've seen widespread snow showers develop across the area this evening. Based on radar, these bands are definitely associated with some energy from the overhead jet stream (embedded heavy bands parallel to the jet). The evening commute had periods of near white-out conditions along Highway 36 for me! The last several runs of all the major models have trended slightly down in …

A gorgeous day overall this afternoon, but we do have to be on the lookout for some scattered storms from late afternoon into the evening. Moist southwest flow is developing today ahead of a merger of two low pressure systems. As a result, widespread precipitation will develop across the High Country this afternoon (below). As for the Plains, we should …
