More of the same, but warming…

2-7-22 1:15pm update…

The low this morning at Stevens Field was 3 degrees, but many of us saw lows below zero again. The high so far today has been 33 degrees but later this afternoon we should see upper 30’s to low 40’s. There was no precipitation recorded in our area.

A couple of waves will skirt to our north this week, dropping a few flakes over the front range, but “nothing but blue skies from now on”, for us…at least through Friday. One of the models we use is hinting that there could be some light snow over the weekend from another passing wave, but most continue our dry streak into early next week. Next week is looking more promising with every run, but as I have cautioned everyone before, any models over 5 days are to be taken with at least 3-4 grains of salt. There is a possibility of a “cut-off” low forming over southern California which could put us into a decent SW on the 16th and 17th. Until then, enjoy lots of sun and high temperatures approaching or exceeding 50 degrees by Friday.

My forecast…

The rest of today: Blue skies with a high in the upper 30’s to low 40’s. South winds 5-10 mph.

Tonight: Clear with lows ranging from -5 to the single digits.

Tuesday-Friday: Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 40’s and lows in the single digits to low teens.

Saturday-Sunday: There could be a tiny chance for snow for the mountains, otherwise mostly sunny with highs in the mid 40’s and lows in the single digits to low teens.

My next post will be on Wednesday unless something completely meteorologically random occurs.
