Our latest storm is just like the broncos. It just won’t quit. Or maybe its like a Broncos fan leaving the bar? This same wobbling low pressure system has been creating unsettled weather since last Thursday. Come this afternoon, it gets the boot into the upper Midwest. This exiting low pressure system will swing the winds to the northwest for one last shot of orogrpahics and cold air advection to wring the atmosphere over our high peaks from Kebler to Schofield passes for another few inches. Look for gusty winds near and above treelike to blow the new low density snow around, and bundle up. Windchills could be bitter.

With the center of this low pressure centered over Evanston, WY, we will see continued southwest winds across the Elk Mountains, which tends not to be our prime orographic snow producing direction. Although southwest flow is not ideal, this low pressure has a -30ºC cold core, which will bring some enhanced snowfall in the form of cold air advection over the higher terrain through most of the day with a stronger pulse of snowfall this morning, before exiting our region this evening. High pressure moves in for most the work week before another evolving storm rattles into our area around Friday or Saturday.

The cut-off low continues to hover over Utah, spinning weak energy and a chance for light snowfall into the Elk Mountains today. The system finally looks to exit towards the Great Plains on Sunday night, with increased snowfall into Monday. The rest of the week looks dry.

A closed low pressure system bobbling around to our West will continue to keep our area under southwest flow. This system lacks deep moisture, but enough moisture at the surface should allow a few scattered snowfall showers to pass through. Some enhanced lift will spin around the low pressure and pass up through Western Colorado later this afternoon and this evening. If the Central Mountains get a piece of this Vorticity, we’ll hopefully see some enhanced snowfall and pick up a couple inches of snow. For the weekend we’re likely to only see a few more light snow showers but the track of this closed low could still vary slightly and change that outcome. Moving into next week a ridge starts to build over the Western US and we’ll see dry weather move in.

There is a closed low hanging out to our west and wobbling around between Nevada and California. Its forcasted to get bogged down with thanksgiving affairs before heading North and East of Colorado later this weekend or early next week. Unfortunately for us Central Colorado isn’t in a favorable potion with this Closed Low through the entire period. So our mountains will see cloudy skys and likely only a few snow flurries as we head into the weekend. One thing of note is that weather models are notoriously bad at forecasting the wobbly destination of Closed Lows Pressure Systems. So we could hold out a small bit of hope that she wobbles her way into a more favorable position for central Colorado, then forcasted.

The closed low has moved offshore and is stalling over the Great Basin. Another unseasonably warm day is in store for today, with thickening clouds and increasing winds ahead of the system. The low drags a cold front and weak band of snow showers across our mountains tonight, but isn’t bringing much moisture with it. Unsettled weather continues into the weekend.
