Weather pattern changes in store for Denver

As I hinted to in my post earlier this week, there may finally be some changes on the way for Denver. Several weak disturbances will effect the area about every other day through most of next week, and with that will come our first chances for precip in what feels like forever. Normally such weak and unorganized systems would not earn themselves a mention in the blog, but with our yards turning to dust and fires ravaging the Front Range it seems only appropriate to give them some mention.

Tonight will be our first chance of some moisture, albeit not a very good chance. Best chances will occur well north of Denver and east of town as well. Similar scenarios are set for Sunday and Monday. At this point our best shot at picking up some real moisture may come during the second half of next week, but given the track record of this winter and the extended nature of this forecast, I am unwilling to get too excited as of yet!

Did it snow at all this March? Not to my calculations... is this the driest March on record?

A dusting of snow at my place this morning - is that all we will see?
