Quick Shot of Rain - Maybe Snow

After tying a record high yesterday (84 degrees), and another warm beautiful day today, things are about to change again. The National Weather Service is starting to feel pretty confident about approaching cold front and have upped precipitation chances to 80% Tuesday night. The biggest question that surrounds this next system are the temperatures. At this point it looks like it will remain warm enough in town for a rain/snow mix with all snow above 5400 feet. Obviously a difference of just a few degrees could change that - and if we manage to cool things down a little more and faster it could all be snow here in Denver as well. That said, foothills are only expecting 2-5 inches tomorrow evening into Wednesday, so even if it does all come in the form of snow here in town, I would not expect an earth shattering event. Nevertheless, we will have to keep an eye on it and see!

It will remain cool through the rest of the week with highs in the 50s for Thursday and Friday - and then possibly warmer for the weekend.

How do these rapid changes in weather events (snow then heat then snow) change the boogers in my nose?
