Chance of storms today The large-scale weather set-up today has a weak  trough passing through our region. The 500mb vorticity map below shows this trough will be across western Colorado around mid-day today, which will position eastern Colorado in a favorable location for enhanced large-scale lift. This lift combined with more sunshine today will lead to enough instability this afternoon …

After a beautiful and dry day on Monday, today winds will start to turn slightly southwesterly across Colorado which will bring in elevated moisture ahead of our next storm system. The 500 mb vorticity map below shows weak ridging present over Colorado, but the incoming moisture and storm system to our west will be enough to bring some showers to the …

As we work our way into the early afternoon, we see a warmup in temperatures close to the lower 50's. If you believe some regional models, they show middle 50's for portions of the metro. This is all thanks to …

This influx of cooler air is in response to a weak surface low forming in southeast Colorado and western Kansas last night. This "cool" front will knock a few …

The warmest day of 2019! Let's get the good news out of the way first. Today is definitely going to feel like SPRING! A large, but flattened ridge axis now stretches all the way from central Mexico into eastern Canada, directly across Colorado. Strong and deep southwest flow has been cranking into Colorado since yesterday afternoon. Embedded in this strong flow …
