So much for that storm…

Yesterday’s storm produced some pretty clouds but unfortunately not much moisture.

11-3-21: 9:15 am update…

If you like seasonal temperatures and mostly sunny skies, you’ll love the rest of the week! The shortwave has moved out of our area and is being replaced by high pressure. Unless one of you tells me otherwise, it appears that the most rainfall recorded yesterday was a trace by Shawn and me north of Hatcher Lake. It looks like our mountains received 1-2 inches of snow but there was no snow report from Wolf Creek yesterday.

Some of the models are hinting at another weak system to move through during the middle of next week along with some cooler air. I’ll continue to monitor the models!

Screenshot 2021 11 03 082114 — Wolf Creek ski area did not do a snow update but looking at this graphic, it appears that 1-2 inches of snow fell on our nearby mountains from yesterday’s storm.

Screenshot 2021 11 03 080255 — It’s pretty sad when the rain lottery winners for the COCRAHS reports are just a trace. BTW, those reports were from Shawn and my backyards!

Screenshot 2021 11 03 084905 — High pressure is building over our area with a stationary front draped along the front range this morning. Look for mostly sunny skies the rest of the week.

I consider myself a "weather journalist" who has been studying and following meteorology since taking an earth science class in eighth grade. Later, when I became a professional commercial photographer, I learned that my continued studies in meteorology helped me plan outdoor photo assignments. I'm now a semi-retired photographer who teaches photo workshops, goes storm chasing and of course enjoys photographing great landscapes and clouds in our area.
