Status Quo

Hello, what a BEAUTIFUL fall day!! I hope you got to enjoy it! Wall-to-wall sunshine, light winds, and highs in the lower 60s. Wow.

Tomorrow (Sunday) will be a lot like today, maybe even a tad warmer. There is no major weather feature that will change for us... high pressure will still be to our northeast, and winds will be light.

What we ARE watching is a storm way off to our west. Here is a look at that storm by Sunday night:

And now at the surface:

By Sunday night the storm will REALLY be affecting Colorado and Wyoming... and what will start off as rain will change over to SNOW! Winter storm watches are already in effect!

Keep in mind that today's high in DENVER was 82 degrees!! Monday they could see highs in the 30s, with several inches of snow on the ground!!

That same storm is our next rain-maker. It is a slow mover, so we probably won't get any rain until Tuesday or so. But we should start to notice clouds on the increase on Monday... and the chance of showers Tuesday and Wednesday.

Interesting time of year, that's for sure!!
Have a great evening!!
Jamie
