Cold air will fill in behind yesterday’s frontal passage, and calm winds will prevail at all locations today. Tomorrow, temperatures will rebound quickly under clear skies, but should remain at, or slightly below seasonal averages. Next week looks benign, with a slight chance for precipitation mid week.

A large Pacific trough is situated over southern Canada and Montana, steering a shortwave across Nevada this morning. This will advance a front across our mountains this afternoon/evening, bringing a couple of inches of snow, gusty winds, and colder temperatures. Unsettled showers linger tomorrow before a weak ridge returns for the weekend, with clear skies and rebounding temperatures.

Unsettled weather is on tap for the next few days, but we aren’t looking at any significant snow producers. A large trough is making landfall over the Pacific Northwest and will lift across the Northern Rockies and Canada over the next few days, sending a series of shortwaves our direction. The first is a weak front which appears to fizzle in northern Colorado this afternoon, bringing increased winds and not much in the way of precipitation. A stronger front moves through on Thursday. It has improved dynamics, but is still working off of limited moisture, so we should see only light snowfall at best. The weekend weather looks favorable for costumes and slush huck conditions.

In like a lion and out like a lamb, March wraps up with another unusually warm one as the high pressure ridge crosses Colorado today. Alpine winds will pick up this afternoon, as well as some convective clouds. A progressive storm track is developing over the Northern Rockies, and we will be on the fringe of its influences of the rest of the week. A cool front stalls over northern Colorado tomorrow, bringing a small chance for isolated afternoon showers. On Wednesday night, a stronger cold front pushes across our zone, but moisture is lacking and we’ll be lucky to see a few inches of snow.

Another day of unseasonable warm weather is on tap as the stubborn ridge of high pressure remains amplified over the western United States. Convective clouds may increase this afternoon, but no precipitation is expected. Tomorrow looks to be the warmest and windiest day of the week, before a series of weak cold fronts cut across the Colorado Rockies, bringing a chance of rain and snow, with the unfortunate potential of blowing in red desert dust…

Clouds moved in overnight, and acted like a blanket over our area, insulating the warm temperatures from yesterday and preventing freezing temperatures below 12,000ft. This morning those clouds will lift, creating sunny skies and very warm temperatures. The week ahead looks very spring-like, and record high temperatures look possible almost everyday of the work week.
