Temperatures a tad cooler today but certainly nothing to worry about in comparison to the northeastern US! A weak cold front has pushed through last night (see below). In its wake, light northerly to northeasterly winds have ensued. Partial sunshine should lead to mostly sunny skies by the afternoon with temperatures in the upper 40's to lower 50's. Looking into …

An area of low pressure will slide southeast from Idaho into Utah and Colorado this afternoon and evening. Below shows the area of low pressure as of this afternoon. A trough axis is present over Nevada and northern California. This low pressure will increase overall moisture for the airmass over Colorado, thanks to a decent fetch from the Pacific Ocean. …

The first full work week of 2018 ends today. Today's weather can be summed up in the upper-level jet stream pattern, shown below. The polar jet stream remains across the northeastern United States, bringing down cold arctic air into the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and New England regions. Over the west and over our state, the subtropical jet stream is in …

Quiet weather continues today with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the lower 50's. We'll climb a few more degrees each of the next two days, likely reaching into the 60's on Saturday. No updates on our slight chance of rain/snow on Sunday. Accumulations, if they happen, will be meager across the Denver Metro area. We're already looking past this …

No major shifts today compared to yesterday as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the west. There will an ever-so-slight increase in upper-level moisture, so we can expect a few patchy high clouds here and there. Overall though, mostly sunny skies will prevail with temperatures nearing 50 degrees. Our next chance at any "weather" comes Sunday as a shortwave …

Happy New Year!  Expect a calm but cold first day of 2018 as a shallow Arctic airmass lingers across the lower elevations. Highs will only be in the 20's for the Plains, with 30's in the Foothills, alongside partly cloudy skies.  We'll discuss the week ahead in more detail tomorrow, but frankly this week will be quiet, sunny, and significantly …

A very cold arctic airmass is situated across much of the CONUS on this last day of 2017 thanks to a large arctic high pressure system currently over Montana. As of this morning, the freezing line (above/below 32 degF) stretches as far south as Georgia in the southeastern United States, and into Texas in the Midwest. This freeze line is …
