Another chance of severe storms today Below shows the mid-level pattern on this Friday, June 22nd, which happens to also be my younger brother's birthday - Happy Birthday Allen!! An area of low pressure is situated over northeastern Wyoming, with a second across the Ohio Valley. The system in Wyoming will be moving across the area through the day. You …

Severe weather reports It's been a busy weather-week to say the least... There is usually only one or two days per year where a significant severe weather outbreak impacts the Metro area. It just so happens this year those two days occurred back-to-back! Shown below are all the severe weather reports from Monday this week. It was purely a damaging hail day, …

Rain, hail, & tornadoes!  Another, albeit quicker round of severe thunderstorms exploded across the Metro shortly after lunchtime Tuesday afternoon. The first storm to ignite moved across north Boulder, Gunbarrel, and Niwot, producing a hefty layer of hailstones, some of which reached 1.5" in diameter.

That will create upslope conditions at the surface and will combine with the already moist atmosphere and mid-level forcing for a widespread unsettled day. We do expect the bulk of …

Remnants of Hurricane Bud making their way into Colorado today.

Today will be the warmest day of the week Expect partly cloudy skies this morning and through the day, with temperatures topping out in the middle 90's. Dew points across the Plains will be in the 40's this afternoon, enough moisture to fuel a couple of afternoon and evening thunderstorms again from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Storms will be …
