After a cold week overall, the week ends on a warm note! Below shows the low-level (800 mb) temperature and height pattern for this afternoon. Two areas of low pressure are to our north and west, one off the coast of Oregon, and a second north of Montana. High pressure is situated across southern Arkansas. Over our region, downslope flow …

The upper-level disturbance that fueled the snow storm on Tuesday has progressed south and east across the country, and now is located across the Florida Panhandle. This is quite far south, but not all that uncommon for November. Very cold air is digging in across the Northeast...by far the coldest of the season.

Storm total snowfall yesterday was about 3-5" in Boulder, 4 to 10" in the Foothills, and less than 2" in the rest of the Metro Area.

Embedded bands of snow could be heavy at times, but sporadic. High resolution models are indicating a break in the snow during the day, with redevelopment later this afternoon. This …

Cold front has pushed through and the airmass is once again a change from Saturday.

Lots of cloud cover will be in place to start, followed by partial sunshine in the late afternoon. A few sprinkles or showers are possible in …

Gusty winds are expected today, primarily this afternoon into the early evening. The HRRR model forecasted wind gusts for this afternoon is shown below. It predicts winds gusting over 45 mph for portions of the Plains. Given the downslope flow, we'll also see decent mid and high-level cloud cover streaming through from west to east keeping temperatures in the mid …

Warmer temperatures today. Yesterday, thanks to low-level upslope flow, temperatures struggled to get out of the 40's. Today, we start out with low clouds and fog, which will lift later this morning and give way to afternoon sunshine. Temperatures will start out chilly but gradually warm to the middle 60's. This is all thanks to southwest flow developing in the …
