Happy Friday everyone! Hard to believe we had more than a foot of snow on the ground at the start of the week! Today we'll be at the center of a high-amplitude ridge. By afternoon, the axis will be just east of Denver (seen below). Once a ridge axis passes east of our location, upper-level flow shifts from a (generally) dry …

The upper-low is now centered across Iowa. Hard to believe it has been "wreaking havoc" across Colorado for a solid six days! The ridge we have been waiting for has arrived, with drier air and weak northwesterly flow aloft.  We'll see a jump in temperatures today to the upper 60's with mostly sunny skies. The sunshine and warmer weather will continue …

We've got one more day under the influence of the nasty upper-low. It is currently located over eastern Nebraska. Notice the pockets of yellow/orange vorticity over Colorado. This is some weak energy associated with a wave embedded in the western flank of the upper low. It will provide just enough lift to produce isolated showers (higher elevation snow), mainly in the afternoon. We'll …

The upper-level low responsible for all of the snow this weekend has slowly migrated north, now positioned over northwest Colorado (seen below). The main energy has pushed northward into Wyoming, but residual moisture and some easterly flow will keep precipitation going a little while longer. Light snow will continue into the afternoon in the Foothills and nearby Plains. Little additional accumulation …

What crazy spring weather we're having this weekend. Heavy snow falling in the Foothills just west of Boulder last night, at the same time numerous tornadoes were spinning up in SE Colorado! The heaviest period of snowfall for the entire storm will occur during the day today as a surface low deepens in SE Colorado.  The GFS precipitation and pressure …

Alright! Our big storm is finally here! If you have been following along with us, you should already have a rough idea of how today and this weekend are going to play out - downright ugly! The 500 mb map for this evening is shown below.  Notice the large trough in the process of cutting-off over Utah. Moisture has already begun to …

We'll keep this short and sweet. Today will be the last nice day before an EXTENDED period of unsettled weather across the Front Range. Enjoy it! Expect mostly sunny skies with some clouds developing in the afternoon over the higher terrain. There will be a slight chance of a few showers and storms popping up there as well. Over the Plains, …
