Moisture from the subtropics—yep, the good ol’ summer monsoon—is surging north into Colorado this week. A favorable setup is taking shape: strong high pressure is parked over the Gulf Coast while a stubborn trough lingers in the Pacific Northwest. The flow between these two systems is coming straight up from the south, loaded with moisture and sprinkled with embedded shortwaves. …
Very dry air at mid-levels builds in from the west today. That should favor less storm chances at about 10% or so, and also more sunshine with highs in the lower 90s. The storm chances today, although on the lower end, will creep back up this coming week. Each day from the GEFS model shows a storm chance, all from …

We’re still sitting under the influence of high pressure to our west today, but a weather system moving in from the northwest is knocking on the northern Rockies’ door — and it's set to stir things up over the next few days.
