Today's weather will be very similar to yesterday as little change has occurred in the atmosphere over Colorado. Highs again will be in the lower 50's with sunny skies. A cut-off system is situated over southern California today. This low will track across southern Arizona and New Mexico tomorrow, weakening in the process. The system as a whole has very limited moisture to work …

A warmer day across the area... We should see highs in the upper 30's to lower 40's. It will be another gusty afternoon on the Plains. The below figure shows that a downslope wind event will occur from this afternoon to the early evening hours. Nothing extreme, but we could see gusts up to 30 mph. This could lead to …

A chilly and breezy day on tap today. After yesterday's snow (for some of us), clouds should give way to sunshine in the afternoon thanks to westerly downslope flow. Unfortunately, that also means we will have the potential of some gusty winds during the day of up to 30 mph on the Plains and up to 45 mph in the …

More snow is headed our way late this afternoon and evening across the area. Before we go into the details, below shows the mid to upper-level pattern across the region today and tonight. It shows at 500 mb a deep trough of low pressure over north-central Arizona. This is roughly the same placement of the storm as was predicted in …

The current troughy weather pattern looks great on paper....However, there is almost too much meandering in the flow. The trough across the western United States is projected to hold strong for the next week or more. The 500 mb height anomaly animation from the GFS model shows the trough persisting through early March. The problem is, the bulk of the energy …

Today will be the quietest weather day of the week...the only one where we can fully rule out the chance of snow. The 500 mb vorticity map for this afternoon shows an expansive trough across the West, and a blocking high off the South Carolina coast. Calm, unperturbed southwest flow is in place across Colorado. This will translate into mostly …

Cold air has already entrenched the region with temperatures dipping into the low 20's. We will remain in the upper teens to low 20's into the afternoon as the colder air continues to filter in from the northeast. Below shows the surface temperature map from the high-resolution NAM model. The blue line indicates the Arctic frontal boundary, connected to a …
