Southwest flow will be increasing today ahead of an incoming low pressure system. Winds will be on the increase and gusty this afternoon, even at valley elevations. Temperatures will be similar to the last few days until colder air arrives around Friday night.
This incoming low pressure is going to be an interesting weather system to keep reading about through the weekend and Denver news stations will probably get very excited. By Friday evening the center of the low presser will stall around the four corners region through the weekend. Very moist air will be pulled from the pacific and eventually the golf and potential snow numbers are looking high for Colorado. Our highest snowfall rates will probably be around Friday evening into Saturday, while the incoming weather will be from the southwest. Later in the weekend the incoming flow will be southeast to east favoring the continental divide and Front Range Mountains. The San Juan Mountains will be the biggest winner and if you’re craving some powder you should start planning that ski trip.

A low pressure over New Mexico and Arizona will continue pushing a little moisture into our area today. The sky will start out clear today, then throughout the day we’ll see a few clouds pop up over the mountains that may produce light snow showers at times. Dry conditions are on tap for Wednesday with high temperatures a few degrees warmer then Tuesday. Later this week, Thursday starts the next significant change in the weather. By Thursday afternoon we’ll see wind speeds increasing ahead of the next low pressure forecasted to track just to the south of Colorado. This Low pressure will be the next start for unsettled weather heading through the weekend.

Similar weather as the last couple of days is on tap for today. A weak closed low near Baja is spinning warm moisture into Colorado. Afternoon convection will bring another chance for light rain and snow this afternoon, with potential for localized heavier pulses. More of the same tomorrow as the low tracks east across Arizona. On Thursday a trough descends from the northwest, closes off, and stalls near Colorado. This looks like it will bring a prolonged period of cloudy and showery weather through the weekend.

A closed low over Southern California is spinning warm, moist air into Colorado. The weak shortwave that brought some snow flurries early this morning will exit to our northeast, bringing some patches of sun and warming temperatures. Daytime convection will spur another round of light precipitation this afternoon and evening, falling as snow at higher elevations. Tomorrow is an in-between day, as another low tracks our way from the Pacific. There will e enough lingering moisture for cloud cover a spotty showers again.

A weak wave under southwest flow brought a mix of snow flurries and very light valley rain last night. Residual moisture in it’s wake will keep weather unsettled today, with the chance for some snow showers at higher elevations in the afternoon driven by daytime convection. A closed low treks south of us on Sunday, pumping additional moisture and similar instability on Sunday. This pattern continues into early next week.

Clear, warm and dry weather will continue today, before clouds start increasing this afternoon. Increased moisture will be pushed into are area this evening from the southwest. We have the chance for some snow tonight but nothing substantial. Tomorrow there will be periods of snow at higher elevations and possibly some light rain in the valleys. Unsettled weather continues into next week with small chances of perspiration and the sun breaking out at times.

Little change in today’s weather compared to yesterday. High temperatures will be a few degrees warmer with generally light winds and clear sky. Unsettled weather will return to the area tomorrow afternoon and extending into next week. Late Friday afternoon we’ll see increasing clouds as moisture begins to surge in from the southwest. Friday night into Saturday we should see some snow accumulation but this unsettled weather isn’t looking to impressive. A low pressure system is forecasted to weaken as it reaches Colorado around Sunday night. This could help to produce better snow numbers by Monday morning but we’ll have to wait for later forecasts to see how that system holds together.

A high amplitude ridge will bring a warming trend and clear skies for the next few days, before a more active weather pattern arrives this weekend. Look for daytime highs and overnight lows to notch up roughly 5 to 8 degrees warmer each day through Thursday.

Date: 04/05/2016

A low pressure system is descending on Colorado today from the northwest. Mild temperatures, increasing winds, and mostly cloudy skies are on tap today until a weak cold front pushes through this afternoon. We could see a few inches of new snow as this system moves through, followed by high pressure and warming temperatures quickly rebuilding tomorrow.

Date: 04/04/2016

Our high pressure gets pushed eastward today as a low pressure trough sags towards Colorado tomorrow. Today will be even warmer than yesterday. Clouds will begin to increase by late afternoon, and winds will strengthen ahead of this arriving system. Tuesday’s storm doesn’t look too impressive, with a couple of inches of new snow in the forecast before high pressure rebuilds again through the rest of the week.
