Today we'll see warmer and dry weather return to the region as an upper-level ridge builds from the west (shown below). The dry northwesterly (downslope) flow across northern Colorado today will facilitate warming temperatures. We don't expect many clouds to form today, let alone precipitation! Even the Mountains will remain dry. Under mostly sunny skies, expect an afternoon high in the low …

Today's synoptic pattern features an expanding trough to our north. It will be moving south and east during the day today, and swing a cold front through northeast Colorado later this afternoon. As you can see above, the downslope near the base of the Foothills is helping to counteract the cooler air behind the front. Timing for the front looks to …

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! We put in a good word, but couldn't manage exceedingly nice weather for your morning brunch and afternoon activities. --- Today's weather-focus remains the large upper-low which is currently centered along the western Colorado/Wyoming border. With the trough axis still to our west, we'll still be in the moderately unstable sector today. …

Last night we posted about the chance of severe weather today. That forecast remains on track. The threat today will be for storms capable of producing large hail and damaging wind gusts, mostly north and east of the Denver Metro area. However, we can't rule out a couple severe storms across our immediate region as well. It wouldn't be surprising to …

Yesterday's magnificent ridge has slid east of the region today. Southwesterly flow aloft ahead of our weekend system will feed in moisture and create instability this afternoon. This will produce showers and thunderstorms. Coverage will be greater over the Foothills and north towards the Wyoming border (where a cold front will be trekking this afternoon), but a few storms across …

We're back! Sorry for the disconnect the last few days. As we previously led on, our entire crew was backpacking in Arizona during the hiatus. Luckily, the weather seems to have behaved across northeast Colorado this week so far! Over this past weekend, Boulder officially recorded 3.7" of snow (contained in just over 1" of liquid), though there was a lot of melting, …

There is a bit more precipitation in today's forecast than the models were advertising yesterday. Another example that they are having a tough time with this system. Look for light rain/snow showers to continue on and off (mostly on) into the afternoon and evening. Less than 1" of snow accumulation can be expected. The outlook for the next few days is …
