Yesterday's high was near 70 degrees across the Plains. Scattered, high-base thunderstorms formed in the afternoon over the Foothills and moved out onto the Plains. Today will be very similar to yesterday as we are still under the influence of an upper-level ridge with weak downslope flow in place. We'll all start out sunny, but cumulus clouds and storms will …

Compared to yesterday, today will be noticeably sunnier and warmer. We'll be at the center of split upper-level flow, seen below in the 500 mb vorticity map from the NAM. There is a disturbance to our south, and a ridge to our north. This leaves us in a favorable area for (mostly) good weather. With the added sunshine today, the higher …

This is simply a notification that we will no longer be doing DayCAST's on Mondays, since there is major overlap with our weekly forecasts. Instead, we will try to get our "This week in weather" posts pushed out at a similar time, likely before 8AM on Mondays. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this really makes the most sense.

We'll keep today's DayCAST brief as we'll be putting out a larger forecast update (with snowfall map) shortly for the masses (here it is). The storm we have been anticipating for almost a week now has come ashore early this morning near the USA/Mexico border. Models have been trending southward and warmer over the last few days with this system. As such, …

Spring is in the air today as a weak disturbance moves across the state. It will supply a little moisture and just enough instability to fire off a few thundershowers later this afternoon. Most of the action will remain south of I-70 and in SW Colorado, but we can't rule out a weak storm making it's way into our region, especially …

Happy Friday folks! Today we'll cap off an excellent week of weather with another warm and dry day. Earlier in the week, it looked like today could push well into the 70's. However, a cooler airmass moving through the center of the county has skirted northeast Colorado. Therefore, we won't be getting out of the 60's today, especially considering the upper-level stratus deck …

Today we'll be sandwiched between a ridge to the west and a trough to the east. Northwest flow will dominate at the upper-levels. At the surface, a weak cold front will be skirting northeast Colorado during the afternoon. That cooler air mass can be seen in the 800 mb temperature map below, situated over extreme NE Colorado, with north and northeast upslope …
