Storm Update

Not much has changed in the last 24 hours. With snow already developing across much of the northeast plains of Colorado, it looks to be just a matter of time before the first flakes start to fall across the metro area. Earlier this afternoon the National Weather Service issued a *winter weather advisory* for Denver which goes into effect tomorrow and will last well into Monday. Going forecasts still call for 5 - 10 inches in Denver, with 6 - 12 expected in the snow-favored locations to our south and east. Snow should develop sometime Sunday morning in Denver at the latest, and continue overnight Sunday. While some snow showers may even graze us overnight tonight, it looks like the best chance for moderate snowfall will be later in the day Sunday.

Will continue to keep you informed of any changes to the going forecast. Be sure to check the twitter feed on the right for all the latest storm reports, or follow @BrendansWeather if you have twitter!

Here is the forecast image from the NWS as of this evening:

Happy New Year!

The frigid arctic air mass that has gripped the region since Thursday is finally pulling away. While we will not be returning to the mild 50s and 60s we had grown so accustomed to over the last months, sunshine and 40 should feel quite nice. Overall this week should be quite pleasant, with just a few backdoor fronts keeping our temperatures down a bit. Pick day of the week? Thursday, when highs could approach 50 degrees.

By Thursday night and Friday we start to see some model disagreement. The GEM shows a decent disturbance slicing across northeast Colorado which would give us much colder temperatures and a chance for snow, while the GFS and ECMWF keep this front more open and further north. For now will hedge towards the warmer/drier forecast, and wait to see if we can get some agreement over the next several days.
