The complicated forecast is on track for rain and snow to form across the Front Range as a surface low deepens in eastern Colorado this evening. We expect mostly cloudy skies today with temperatures reaching into the 60's by early afternoon. After 3:00PM, rain showers will be possible across the Plains and Foothills. The best forcing will generally be north of …

Temperatures will jump significantly today with a high-amplitude ridge axis right over Denver this morning. We are already feeling the effects with mild temperatures at sunrise in the mid 30's and light winds. Expect a fair amount of mid and high-level cloud cover building through the day with temperatures nearing 70 degrees this afternoon. Note bad at all! Models are finally coming …

Today will be calm and sunny across the Front Range as large-scale ridging stays in control of the Inter-Mountain West. With northwest flow in place across Colorado, we'll have to wait one more day for the big warm-up. Highs today will only be in the middle 50's.

The ridge is just south of our forecast domain, keeping the jet stream nearby. To our north in Montana, a low pressure system is present, which will …

An unseasonably mild day is expected as warmer air pushes into northern Colorado from the southwest. Elevated moisture will also accompany this flow, so expect to see a little more cloud cover out there today compared to recent times. Models have been over-doing it by a couple degrees on temperatures the last few days, so despite indication that we could …
