Colorado now rests within the center of the well-advertised ridge of high pressure across the central and southern Rockies. GOES-East shows us the protection offered by the ridge this morning, with copious dry air situated throughout the Great Basin, the Desert Southwest, and of course our glorious state. All of the clouds, precipitation, and faster winds are shoved well to …
Yesterday's wave clouds ended up being fairly extensive which kept a lid on temperatures during the afternoon hours. This resulted in most of the Denver Metro area staying in the mid to upper 60s, with only some northern areas cracking the 70-degree mark. High temperatures from Monday are shown below.
