Big changes on the way!

After an extended period of temperatures in the 70s and 80s, cold weather is once again barreling towards the state. It appears that some good moisture is associated with this system, and with that have introduced a good chance of precipitation tonight through early Thursday. Precip should stay mostly in the form of rain for the greater Denver area, but moderate snowfall is forecast in the foothills immediately to our west. Temperatures may cool just enough early Wednesday for snow in Denver - but do not expect much of anything. As for temperatures... highs Wednesday will struggle to reach 50 in the city, but will quickly rebound by Thursday. Highs should be hovering around 70 as we head into the weekend.

Wow wow! What a Low!

I think I'm at least at 1.25" - but I've not gone down to the raingauge to see how much is in the overflow beyond 1".

Drove through snow at 5pm on the SW side of Denver last night.

Official rainfall (in my unofficial backyard) for the last week was 2.07" rain. We never got any of the snow that was given chance probability in Longmont).

And things are flowering now!

We received 0.05" in the formation of the line of thunderstorms yesterday afternoon in East Longmont.

Is that a tornado rolling straight north up I-25 right now?!!
