The past…
At Stevens Field the high temp yesterday afternoon was 63. The low this morning was 25. A few cold spots dipped into the low to mid-teens this morning. The peak wind at the airfield in the last 24 hours was 37mph.
Precip summary… None in the last 24 hours.
Forecast discussion…
The next system will move through northern Colorado Sunday night. A spotty shower or two is possible in the mountains, but it will mostly be another wind maker for us.
Another system will move through the region on Wednesday. The track of the system is still in doubt. One model tracks it over our heads while another tracks it over Wyoming – that’s a big disparity with a variance of outcomes. Wash those cars and do those rain dances to coax it our way! Otherwise, gusty afternoon winds and humidity in the teens will lead to increasing fire danger.


My forecast…


Most obvious is that the 2 systems during this period will miss us to the north. The NBM and GFS expect a little precip in our mountains but none in the valley. The Euro is a little more optimistic.
Hey northeast Colorado, share some of that rain with us!
