A shot of Arctic air today will be accompanied with and inch or two of snow later today and this evening with heavy snows in the northern plains, ice from Iowa to New England and severe weather on the Mississippi. Two more troughs and systems will come across the Rockies Sunday night and Monday and again Wednesday.
Today sunny skies and south westerly flow will lead to above normal temps in the mid to upper 50’s, while a trough and a low-pressure develops over the central Rockies and moves through the area overnight and tomorrow and into northern Missouri Thursday morning. This will bring a shot of cold air, breezy north winds, and some light snow tomorrow later in the day and overnight. Wednesday’s temps fall through the 20’s to lows below zero and Thursdays in the teens with lows in the single digits and wind chill readings 15-25 below Thursday and Friday mornings.

Friday and Saturday the area will be under an upper-level ridge and northwesterly flow warms into the 40’s and lows into the upper teens and low 20’s.
Today will be another warm and dry day with southwest winds and sunshine ahead of two low pressure systems that will bring a round of rain and snow tomorrow and Wednesday. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Tuesday night through Wednesday night with the potential for good rain and wet snow accumulation. Today’s highs will climb to around 60 then tomorrow with the clouds and rain be in the mid-40’s and then turn much colder Wednesday in the 20’s with some moderate snow accumulation. Thursday will remain cold in the lower 30’s as the storm system moves off to the east then Friday warms into the lower 40’s as high-pressure builds over the Rockies and expands into the Region.
Today light southwest winds will continue, skies will be clear and under a high-pressure ridge will push temps into the upper 30’s to mid-40’s, lows will be around 20. Tomorrow the ridge remains over the area and southerly winds will keep warming temps into the 50’s for highs and lows in the mid-20’s. Sunday a weak cool front will drop temps into the 40’s then they return to the 50’s on Monday as a cutoff low moves out of the Texas Panhandle northeast into south central Kansas. This system has warm Pacific air associated with it and rain showers are possible Monday night and Tuesday south and east of Highway 283.
The general track of these systems over Central Plains and the Upper Midwest, are regions that have seen some snowfall events thus far this winter and even, though in drought, snowfall amounts, and current snowpack are above normal and have received their typical seasonal snowfall. The southern end of the storm system should be ripe for another round of severe weather as well. Also, these systems will sweep cold air across the country, but it looks like it will be brief. Next week's weather pattern looks to be quite busy and have folks checking on the forecast and logger range models are hinting that the following week may be similarly busy to end meteorological winter and the month.
Today and tomorrow light west, northwest and southwest winds will be the norm under a high-pressure ridge, while temps will continue to be seasonal with highs in the 40’s and lows in the 20’s. A second low-pressure and cold front traverses the area Wednesday night and Thursday with a quick shot of colder air and possibly some light snow and flurries with no significant accumulation. However, the north winds will increase to 15-30 mph with gusts of 40-50 mph. Friday and over the weekend high-pressure ridging returns with warmer temps and dry conditions, with Saturday being the warmest reaching into the 50’s.
Today a weak low and cool front slide through lowering temps into lower 40’s and bringing some breezy northwest winds, but no moisture to squeeze out of dry atmosphere. Tomorrow and Wednesday winds will be lighter under high-pressure ridge and temps will continue to be seasonal with highs in the 40’s and lows in the 20’s. A second low-pressure and cold front traverses the area Wednesday night and Thursday with a quick shot colder air some light snow and flurries with only minor accumulation and gusty north winds. Friday and over the weekend high-pressure ridging returns with warmer temps and dry conditions.
Today begins with some early AM fog along and east Highway 25 burning off shortly after sunrise then an upper-level ridge moves over the region with flow turning to the south and southwest and the warming trend continues with readings reaching into the mid-40’s and lows around 20-degrees. Snowpack areas north Highway 36 along KS/NE border will be 5 to 10-degrees colder. As high pressure moves off to the east and more westerly flow increases over the weekend, temps may climb to even higher readings in the upper 40’s and low 50’s to start next week. West, northwest, and southwest winds may gust to 30 mph at times. Monday and Tuesday a low-pressure and cool front slide through lowering temps into lower 40’s, maybe producing some snow flurries.
Today and tomorrow an upper-level ridge moves over the region with flow turning to the south and southwest and the warming trend continues with readings closer to normal in the upper 30’s to mid-40’s and lows in the teens to around 20-degrees. As high pressure and southwest flow increases over the weekend temps may climb to even high readings in the upper 40’s and low 50’s to start next week. Southwesterly winds may gust up to 30-35 mph at times. Late Monday and Tuesday a low-pressure and cool front slide through lowering temps and maybe producing some snow flurries, not expecting much to develop.
The weather pattern is in flux this week, switching from a polar vortex that brought the cold air over the last week moving off and a ridge of high pressure off the West Coast moving east over the Rockies. A couple of troughs will follow in its wake, producing some storm systems for early February. The air of pacific origin will be warmer and the troughs will have only marginally low temperatures with them. Having a trough out West with a ridge in the East promotes a storm track through the middle of North Country, bringing storm systems through the Northwest U.S. with good precipitation, into Colorado, Wyoming then turning northeast through eastern Canada.

This will continue the cold 30-degree daytime temps lows in the upper single digits and teens and northwest winds gusting to 45 mph. Over the weekend there will be a brief return to seasonal temperatures with more zonal or westerly flow with highs returning to around 40-degrees and less wind. However, reinforcing shot of Arctic air behind a system Monday and another later in the week 30-degree below normal temps and some snow potential can be expected leading up to Christmas.
On the heels of a significant winter storm that brought thunder, 50+ mph wind and blowing snow to the area we will begin looking ahead to a blast of Arctic air and very cold temperatures leading up to Christmas. How much snow how cold and how far south will be questions to pin down in future forecasts, but now looks like 30-40-degree below normal temps would mean lows below zero and highs in the 20’sand teens. With wheat already in bad shape and perhaps not very winter hardy due to prolonged extreme drought, temperatures this cold without a blanket of snow could cause some winter kill.
Winter Weather Advisory today and High Wind Warning today and tomorrow. This active weather and the rain and t-storm last evening and overnight are due to a strong low-pressure moving out of Colorado and through the area today and towards Omaha tomorrow. Rain will change to snow and blowing snow as winds turn to northwest gusting 55+ mph, while daytime temps fall into the 20’s and lows drop into the upper teens. Accumulating snow will end this evening and tonight with some wrap around flurries tomorrow as northwest winds howl 45+ mph. Thursday and Friday the slow-moving low meanders northeast towards the Great Lakes while brisk northwest flow spills cold air south through the Plains with upper 20 and low 30-degree highs and lows in upper single digits and lower teens. Weekend flow becomes more zonal with temps briefly returning to seasonal temperature readings.

Sunday a low moving through OK will bring a shot of cooler air dipping temps to around 50 with moisture south and east of the area. Monday warms into the upper 50’s ahead of another shot of cold air and light snow chances Tuesday with a fast-moving disturbance.
Today northwest flow will turn to the southwest leading to warmer weather pushing highs to around 60 with dry conditions leading up to Thanksgiving. Overnight lows will be in the 20’s. For Thanksgiving a weak disturbance and shot of cooler air will have little effect weather wise, other than dipping temps back into the upper 40’s. Friday down sloping northwest flow will end the week with temps heading back towards the 60’s and extending extreme drought conditions across the region.
Near record cold Arctic airmass in place with highs only in the upper 20’s. Tonight’s lows drop into the low teens then over the weekend we will see a significant shift to warming temperatures into the 40’s Saturday and 50’s Sunday and lows in the 20’s. On Monday and Tuesday, southwest flow will push highs to around 60, setting up a dry and mild week leading up to Thanksgiving. A weak disturbance and shot of cooler air will have little effect weather wise, other than dipping temps back into the 40’s with some northwest flow to end the week.
A shortwave trough will move over the area today with a reinforcing shot of Arctic air and some light wintry precipitation. Occasional snow flurries through the day and overnight are possible some minor accumulation in eastern CO little to no in the Tri-state region. The Arctic airmass will remain in place through tomorrow with highs only in the upper 20’s to around 30, lows in the single digits and wind chills at or below zero. Over the weekend we will see a significant shift to more moderate temperatures with daytime temps returning to the 40’s and 50’s and lows in the 20’s.

An early winter blast of Arctic air this week has brought us below normal to near record cold temps to end the week, with daytime highs around 30 and lows dropping into the single digits. But the pattern will abruptly change and we should see more moderate temperatures for the weekend and much of Thanksgiving week. .As for snow and moisture it pretty much stayed in the northern and southwestern Plains and into Missouri and not beneficial to the winter wheat crop that is in extremely poor condition all across the Plains States and locally where we continue to see extreme drought.
Cold northerly flow remains over the area today and tomorrow with highs in the low 40’s, lows in the teens, while brisk north winds blow in the 15-25 mph range. Another piece of energy and shot of reinforcing cold air late Thursday into Friday will keep the area in near record cold for November and may produce a little light snow or flurries, especially to the west in Colorado before warmer conditions return over the weekend. Thursday and Friday daytime temps will be around 30, nighttime lows around 10, then warm into the 40’s Saturday and 50’s Sunday.
This morning a cut-off low moves southeast through southern KS and OK pulling cold Arctic air back over the area, clouds and possibly a little light snow.

Another piece of energy and shot of reinforcing cold air late Thursday into Friday will keep the area in the cold and produce a little light snow or flurries before warmer conditions return over the weekend.
Today an upper-level trough and cold Canadian air sits over the area behind a low spinning over the Great Lakes. Veterans Day highs will only be in the upper 30’s, while lows crash into the mid-teens and northwest winds will be a bit breezy at 10-20 mph. Ridging and the return of west and southerly flow over the weekend will warm Saturday and Sunday temps into the low 50’s and lows in the upper teens and lower 20’s. However, the warmer temps will be short lived as a leeside Colorado low moves southeast through southern KS and OK pulling cold Arctic air back over the area and possibly a little light snow.
Today will be windy HIGH WIND WARNING and warm as a strong upper-level low and trough cross the Rockies. Southerly winds will increase today, gusting 40-50+ mph with blowing dust, low relative humidity and increased fire danger out west. Highs will reach the upper 70’s and lows will fall into the low 30’s as a cold front arrives around or after midnight. The current track of the low is through northeast CO and Central NE with the potential for light rain and snow to areas well to our north and west. Highs are only in 30’s west and 40’s east, while lows crash into the teens. Friday behind the system will feel like winter with highs in the upper 30’s and lows again in the teens. Saturday temps moderate into the 50’s with a shot of cooler air from the north on Sunday.
Today a high-pressure ridge has moved east and as a trough deepens out west in the Great Basin south southwesterly winds will increase 40-50+ mph today and tomorrow with blowing dust, low relative humidity and increased fire danger. This will lead to unseasonably warm conditions in the 70’s both days ahead of the approaching system on Thursday. The current track of Thursdays storm would turn gusty winds to the north ushering in cold air and potential for light rain snow mix and some accumulating snow to areas to our north and west. Highs only in 30’s west low to mid 40’s east. Friday and Saturday behind the system will feel like winter with highs in the 30’s and lows in the teens.
Today some clouds and morning fog will limit warming into the 50’s with breezy southeast wind increasing and turning more south southwesterly tomorrow and Wednesday as a trough deepens out west in the Great Basin. This will lead to windier and unseasonably warm conditions in the 70’s both days ahead of the approaching system on Thursday. Winds gusting 45+ mph are possible with blowing dust, low relative humidity and increased fire danger are likely. The current track of Thursdays storm would turn gusty winds to the north ushering in cold air and potential rain snow mix and some accumulating snow areas north and west. Highs only in 30’s west low to mid 40’s east. Friday behind the system will feel like winter with highs in the 30’s and lows in the teens.
The long term period is fairly active with strong winds and above average temperatures before the next system moves through the area around mid-week.
A strong front and trough will move through today and we will experience all types of weather with warm dry and windy conditions ahead of its arrival this afternoon and evening and then much colder wintery conditions behind it tonight and tomorrow. Daytime temps will reach to around 70 with gusty southwest winds 30-50 mph then change direction later this afternoon and evening dropping temps overnight into the mid 20’s with a band of snow developing over northeast Colorado and working through the area early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow highs will only be in the upper 30’s and low 40’s with mostly cloudy skies and the light snow possibly lingering in the morning. Northwest flow returns over the weekend quickly warming temps back into the 60’s and lows into 30’s then Monday more southwesterly flow develops as next trough develops out west.
The upper-air pattern has become very active and has led to increased precipitation to our east in the Midwest and Southeast. While, locally and the High Plains region remain dry in Extreme drought. West Texas has seen some of the showers, but western Kansas, Colorado, western Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota have all been very dry with systems moving though with increased winds and wildfire risks, but not with precipitation.
A trough moving over West Coast and ridge over the Plains will strengthen southerly flow starting today through Thursday, leading to unseasonably warm daytime highs in the 70’s and lows above freezing. The upper-level trough and strong cold front move through Thursday night and Friday with much colder temps, chance for some rain or snow and gusty northeasterly winds. How cold and how much precipitation will be dependent on track and speed of system. Currently the forecasted north fast-moving track would mean more mild temps and less precipitation. Weekend temps will moderate back into the 50’s and low 60’s as the system moves to the east and next develops out west to moves over the Rockies next Tuesday.
Trick-or-treaters will be in for a mild and spooky calm Halloween with high-pressure and light southwest winds. Tue-Thu southerly flow will strengthen as a strong trough moves into the northwest and over the Rockies, leading to unseasonably warm daytime highs in the 70’s and lows above freezing. Trough and strong cold front move through Thursday night and Friday with much colder temps, chance for some rain or snow and gusty northeasterly winds. How cold and how much precipitation will be dependent on track and speed of system. Currently the forecasted north fast-moving track would mean more mild temps and less precipitation.
Split upper-level flow will lead to tranquil weather and warming temps over the weekend. Highs return into the 60’s and lows above freezing and light southerly winds. Monday will begin stretch of mild, sunny, and dry weather to end the month and begin November. Monday and Tuesday dry and more southwesterly flow continues with temps in the 70’s with extreme drought concerns and elevated fire concerns continuing.
Disturbance moved through overnight with rumbles of thunder and some scattered rain. Today as low moves away clouds will slow decrease and be colder with highs in the 50’s and wind skies clear overnight and winds become light low will drop below freezing with a frosty start tomorrow. Friday will remain cool, but more zonal split flow over the weekend and Monday will begin stretch of mild, sunny, and dry weather to end the month. High back into the 60’s and lows above freezing.
Today clouds and wind form the south-southeast will be on the increase with a quick moving trough and low-pressure moving through tonight and tomorrow. Temps will be cooler in the low 60’s today and low 50’s tomorrow with lows below freezing. Also, could see some light rain less than .10” then system move south of the area through OK and off to the southeast, thus again the Tri-state area missing chances for decent moisture and extreme drought continues to linger on. Friday and over the weekend will begin stretch of quiet, sunny, mild and dry weather to end the month. High back into the 60’s and lows above freezing.
More zonal to northwest flow and sunny skies today warm temps into the mid-60’s then a trough and low-pressure Wed/Thu will increase clouds keep temps in check in the 50’s low 60’s lows below 32, maybe produce some light rain then move south of the area through OK and off to the southeast, thus again the Tri-state area missing chances for decent moisture and extreme drought continues to linger on. Winds will be a bit breezy ahead and behind the system. Friday and Saturday will begin stretch of quiet, sunny, mild and dry weather to end the month. High back into the 60’s and lows above freezing.
The last full week of October starts off with breezy NNW winds behind an exiting Canadian low-pressure system and cooler temps with highs in the mid-50’s and lows dropping into the upper 20’s. Another trough and low-pressure Wed/Thu will keep temps in check and move south of the area through OK and off to the southeast, thus again the Tri-state area missing chances for moisture and extreme drought continues to linger on. Winds will be a bit breezy ahead and behind the system, while temps Tue, Wed and Fri are in the 60’s, Thu cooler in the 50’s and overnight lows at or below freezing.
Expect continued dry and unseasonably warm conditions through the weekend. Sunday night...a strong cold front moves through ushering in colder air and northwest winds gusting up to 40 mph with blowing dust. MONDAY...Much cooler. Breezy. Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s. overnight Lows around 30. .
Today and into the weekend the high-pressure out west weakens as a trough enters the west Coast and Great Basin Friday and Saturday. This will lead to daytime temps in the 80’s, lows will be above freezing in the 40’s and breezy south-southwest winds at times elevating fire concerns. The Great Basin trough comes over the Rockies on Sunday and cold front associated with a low moving through South Dakota will move through the area Sunday evening. This will bring gusty southwest wind with blowing dust and elevated fire concerns during the day then colder north-northeast with maybe a bit of light rain Sunday night and Monday. Most of the moisture availability for this system stays to our east, while daytime temps drop 15-20-degrees from high of 75 to 55 and lows below freezing in the upper 20’s and low 30’s Monday and Tuesday mornings.
This week stated with our season’s first freeze and the upper-level trough has moved east with near record cold and 20-30-degree below normal temps east of the of the Rockies with widespread frosts and freezes reaching far south into Oklahoma and down to the Gulf Coast in Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Locally, the freeze was around our normal times of the year, but is about a month before the first frosts for the southeast.
Today temps will warm into the 90’s ahead of a cool front trailing a Canadian low-pressure later this afternoon and evening with a line of strong thunderstorms. Tonight’s lows drop into the middle 50’s and with a cool start tomorrows highs will also be slightly cooler in the upper 80’s. The large ridge over 4-Corners and West will build east through the Central US through Labor Day and next week continuing above normal temps and extreme drought conditions across the region. Daytime highs will be in the lower 90’s and early morning lows will be in the upper 50‘s. The warmer than normal and dry weather will hold though next Thursday.
The large ridge over 4-Corners and West will build east through the Central US through Labor Day and next week continuing above normal temps and extreme drought conditions across the region. Daytime highs will be in the upper 80’s and lower 90’s and early morning lows will be a degree or two plus or minus 60. We saw some isolated storms yesterday evening and will likely have another line of storms tomorrow evening with a trailing cool front from a Canadian low-pressure swinging through. The Labor day weekend will be dry with highs around 90-degrees.
The large ridge over 4-Corners and West will build east through the Central US through Labor Day and next week. So after, one of the driest Augusts on record with less than .50” of precipitation, above normal temps and moderate, extreme and exceptional drought conditions will continue into September. Other than isolated storm chances this afternoon and evening and a possible line of storms Friday evening, the rest of the week and Labor day weekend looks dry. Daytime highs will be in the upper 80’s and lower 90’s and early morning lows will be a degree or two plus or minus 60.
An amplifying ridge over 4-Corners will push the Jet into Canada and build east through the Central US through the 5-day forecast and Labor Day. This will lead to extending above normal temps and moderate to extreme drought conditions into September. Other than isolated storm chances Wednesday evening and a possible line of storms Friday evening the rest of the week and Labor day weekend looks dry. Daytime highs will be in the upper 80’s and lower 90’s and early morning lows will be a degree or two plus or minus 60.
An amplifying ridge over 4-Corners will push the Jet into Canada and build east through the Central US through the 5-day forecast and Labor Day. This will lead to extending above normal temps and moderate to extreme drought conditions into September. Other than some scattered rain chances Wednesday the week looks dry. Behind an early morning front, today will be 10-degrees cooler than the upper 90’s we saw yesterday. However, the rest of the week daytime highs will be in the 90’s and early morning lows will be a degree or two plus or minus 60.
Today will be hot and breezy ahead of a shortwave trough that will develop over Eastern CO Friday this afternoon and work slowly eastward in the evening and overnight. Other than some isolated storms with this disturbance Friday evening or early Saturday the forecast will remain hot and mostly dry through the weekend. Daytime temps in the upper 80 to mid-90’s, while overnight clear skies and light winds will cool lows in the upper 50’s to around 60. Ridge out west and northwest flow over the area to start next week. Disturbances may start working over the ridge and through the area Tuesday late in day and overnight.
Today into tomorrow a broad upper-level ridge over the Rockies stretching into the Plains will be the main weather feature until a shortwave trough develops over Eastern CO Friday afternoon and works eastward in the evening and overnight. Other than some isolated storms with this disturbance Friday evening or early Saturday the forecast period will remain hot and mostly dry. Daytime temps in the upper 80 to mid-90’s with a bit breezy south wind, while overnight clear skies and light winds light will cool lows in the upper 50’s to around 60. Another upper-level short-wave trough will move over the area Monday night with the next chance for some isolated storm activity.
The latest USDA topsoil moisture was rated at least three-quarters very short to short, while fall crops and rangeland are seeing the effects of drought as well with three quarters of the crop is rated fair to very poor and rangeland is worse at 88%. Longer term, early indication is that for the third winter season in a row, Pacific Ocean equator-region temperatures and barometric pressure values are expected to be in La Nina category. Meaning the Pacific and Western ridge remains in place, with precipitation track running from the Gulf of Alaska to the Ohio River Valley, while Plains likely continues warm and dry conditions at least through the end of the year.
Today through Thursday upper-level ridge and high-pressures shifts from over the Rockies and into the Plains with above normal temps in the upper 80 to mid-90’s and dry conditions. Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days with highs reaching 90-95-degrees. Overnight skies will be clear, winds light with lows in the upper 50’s to around 60. The ridge begins to break down Thursday night and Friday with a disturbance and upper-level trough brining some isolated chances for storms back into the forecast.
Today through Thursday upper-level ridge and high-pressures shifts from over the Rockies and into the Plains with above normal temps in the upper 80 to mid-90’s and dry conditions. Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days with highs reaching 90-95-degrees. Overnight skies will be clear, winds light with lows in the upper 50’s to around 60. The ridge begins to break down Thursday night and Friday with a disturbance and upper-level trough brining some isolated chances for storms back into the forecast.
Today and tomorrow are trending towards drier conditions with disturbance and fronts moving through SW KS, Oklahoma and Texas. There is a slight chance for isolated storm or two Saturday night and early Sunday with a weak warm front. Today will see seasonal to slightly above normal temps in the mid to upper 80’s then tomorrow will see cooler temps in the low 80’s. Nighttime lows will be in the mid 50’s. Sunday and early next week ridging building out west and northwest flow over the area warms us back into low 90’s, but lack of moisture and energy will be dry.
Today and tomorrow will be much warmer in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. A cool front and low-pressure tomorrow evening and early Saturday will be our best shot for showers and storms through the period as it looks like later Saturday and Sunday the front and systems will be to our south and northeast. However, cooler temperatures in the low to mid 80’s will be nice behind the front. Early next week ridging building out west and northwest flow over the area warms us back into low 90’s, but lack of moisture and energy it looks to be dry.
Today through Friday temperatures will warm back-up with lesser rain chances. Today will start off with clouds and fog then burns off with sunny afternoon highs climb into the 80’s and lows upper 50’s. Thursday and Friday will be much warmer in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. Then Saturday and Sunday chances increase with more zonal flow and a trough moving over the Rockies with cooler more seasonal temps highs in the 80’s and lows mid to upper 50’s.
Today a stationary cool front will hang around the area south of I-70 and result in mostly cloudy skies, some morning scattered showers and cooler daytime temps in the 70’s and nighttime lows in the 50’s. Wednesday and Thursday and Friday a ridge builds out west and trough over the Great Lakes will place northwest flow over the region and keep temps seasonal in the 80’s and rain chances minimal with only isolated storm chances Thursday and Friday evenings. Saturday chances increase with more zonal flow and a trough moving over the Rockies for the weekend. This will continue the cooler more seasonal temps highs in the 80’s and lows mid to upper 50’s.
Today will still be warm but by evening the upper-level ridge anchored over the are will start migrating south and southwest for tomorrow and Wednesday. This will allow for a surface trough to move through later this afternoon and evening with some showers and thunderstorms. A stationary cool front will hang around the area Tuesday and Wednesday with daytime temps in the 80’s and nighttime lows in the upper 50’s. There could be some light showers both days, but more likely dry. Thursday and Friday a ridge builds out west and trough to the northeast will place northwest flow over the region and keep temps seasonal and chances for some storms in the forecast.
Another bout of hot and dry weather is forecast through the weekend as a result of the high pressure ridge overhead. Temperatures will be quite hot through the weekend with afternoon highs forecast to be in the mid to upper 90s to low 100s each day. To go along with this hot and dry weather, we are expected breezy conditions the threat for fires may once again become higher, especially for areas where drought conditions are extreme to exceptional (east of highway 83) and where recent precipitation has missed.
Today and through the weekend a high-pressure ridge will sit over the area and hot, dry and breezy conditions prevail. Highs will climb into the 90’s to low 100’s lows in the 60’s, while low relative humidity’s and breezy south winds 15-25 mph will elevate fire danger and drought conditions. Monday will still be warm, but upper-level ridge begins to weaken and move south bring northwest flow over the area and storm chances late in the day and overnight.
August has started out hot and dry with high-pressure dominating across the region and it looks to stay in place through the weekend with highs in the mid 90’s to low 100’s and no rain to help the extreme drought conditions gripping the area. However, computer models starting today are indicating the high-pressure ridge weakening starting next week, with northwesterly flow returning Mon-Wed and by the end of the week an upper-level trough will be over the Central US. This will increase rain chances and bring cooler 80-degree temperatures across the region.
Today temperatures will warm in the lower 90’s as the front in SW KS and SE CO lifts through as a warm front and ridging begins to build over the Rockies. A scattered storm or two is possible mainly south of I-70. The high-pressure ridge stretches over the area Wednesday and remains in place the rest of the week and into the weekend. Highs will climb into the 90’s to low 100’s lows into the 60’s to around with dry conditions and low humidifies. On breezier days Friday and Saturday with a trough along the front range elevated fire danger conditions may arise.
Today temperatures will be in the lower 80’s behind a front draped across Central KS. Scattered shower activity will be mainly south of I-70. Tomorrow ridging begins to build over the Rockies and stretches over the area Wednesday and remains in place the rest of the week. Highs will climb into the 90’s lows into the 60’s with dry conditions and low humidifies. On breezier days with a trough along the front range elevated fire danger conditions may arise. Late Friday into Saturday a frontal boundary will approach the three corners are with some scattered storm activity that could have some storms with locally heavy rain.
Weather concerns for the short term period will first focus on the hot and dry conditions as above normal temperatures will continue to impact the entire Tri-state area. This will give way to chances for showers and storms Saturday afternoon through the remainder of the upcoming weekend.
High pressure and ridging over the today through Saturday will lead to high temperatures in the 90’s and low 100’s and lows in the upper 60’s and low 70’s with dry conditions. A front and shortwave disturbance Saturday evening will bring chances for some scattered showers and storm mainly northwest of a Sharon Springs to McCook, NE line. Sunday a cold front moves through and will bring additional late day and overnight rain chances and temporary relief from the heat into Monday. Sunday and Monday highs will be in the 80’s and lows in lower 60’s.
High pressure firmly over the 4-corners today will shift east over the Plains Thursday and into the weekend. This will lead to high temperatures in the 90’s and low 100’s and lows in the upper 60’s and low 70’s and dry conditions. Today northeasterly winds behind a disturbance that brought a few isolated storms last night and cool front will start the period in the low to mid 90’s. Then, tomorrow, and Friday ridging more directly overhead will send temps right back to upper 90’s and triple digits on Friday and Saturday. A front and shortwave trough Saturday evening and Sunday will bring some rain chances and temporary relief from the upper 90’s and low 100 heat end the weekend and start next week.
High pressure firmly over the 4-corners today and tomorrow will shift east over the Plains Thursday and into the weekend. This will lead to high temperatures in the 90’s and low 100’s and lows in the upper 60’s and low 70’sand dry conditions. This evening and tonight a shortwave trough may trigger some isolated storms and associated cool front dip temperatures a bit on Wednesday into the mid 90’s. However, Thursday and Friday ridging more directly overhead will send temps right back to upper 90’s and triple digits on Friday and Saturday to start the extended period.

Tuesday evening a cool front may trigger some isolated storms and dip temperatures a bit on Wednesday into the mid 90’sbehind it. However, Thursday and Friday ridging more directly overhead will send temps right back to upper 90’s and triple digits on Friday and Saturday to start the extended period.
Two more cooler days with scattered showers and storms mainly south of I-70 this morning later this afternoon through early tomorrow morning. The rain may be too late for fall crops already seeing drought stress and lower yields, but we should see pastures, lawns, and gardens green-up a bit. Daytime temps will be in the upper 70’s and low 80’s and at night around 60. Sunday and for the first days of August high-pressure ridging will return from the west and move over the area with the return of 90 to 100-degree heat and dry conditions.
Three more cooler days with scattered showers and storm chances in northwest upper-level flow and disturbances kicking out of the Rockies.

Sunday and for the first of August high-pressure ridging will return from the west and move over the area with the return of 90-degree heat and dry conditions.
We are enjoying a brief break in the summer heat and dryness we have seen across the Plains, South and Southwest the entire month of July. These areas have seen widespread 100-degree temperatures and a complete lack of rainfall had already drought conditions just intensify and worsen, some locations three categories. Even with good rainfall this week, the drought has already taken its toll on any dryland crops and damage has occurred. USDA crop progress reports for Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have good to excellent corn rating all below 39%.
With a ridge out west and trough over the Great Lakes and upper Midwest the Tri-state region in northwest flow that will bring daily chances for showers and storms with disturbances kicking out of the Rockies and moving along a stationary front that will sitting over the area. This daily activity will be with us through Saturday and some storms will have heavy rain potential and severe weather potential. Daytime temps will be below normal in the 80’s and at night around 60 and be more bearable than the record breaking 100-degrees heat we’ve been seeing thus far in July.
A weather pattern shift over the weekend has brought cooler more seasonal temps and rain to start the week. Storms over the weekend and early this morning has us signing another tune to finish the month. This week a ridge out west and trough over the Great Lakes and upper Midwest will put the Tri-state region in zonal or northwest flow that will bring daily chances for showers and storms with disturbances kicking out of the Rockies. The most organized are Tuesday night and early Thursday and will have heavy rain potential and severe weather. The rain came at a good time to keep fall crops hanging in there and maturing and we should also see pastures, lawns, and gardens green-up a bit. Daytime temps will be in the 80’s and at night around 60 and be more bearable than the record breaking 100-degrees heat we’ve been seeing thus far in July.
HEAT ADVISORY Today and tomorrow record level heat with highs in the 100-110-degree range heat indexes around 105 with heat advisories place.

RED FLAG WARNING TODAY & HIGH WIND WATCH TUESDAY Today, flow becomes southwesterly at 15-30 mph as an upper-level trough and low intensify west of the Rockies and kicks out over Wyoming Tuesday, resulting in warming temperatures to near 80 and high winds gusting over 50 mph. The current forecasted track for the low-pressure will be through Nebraska just to our north, but will swing a cold front through Tuesday later afternoon and Tuesday night, that could squeeze out some light scattered rain or snow showers as overnight lows drop into the 20’s. Behind the system Wednesday will be much cooler with highs in the 40’s. Northwesterly flow Thursday will turn more westerly on Friday warming daytime temps into the 50’s and 60’s and overnight lows in the upper 20’s and low 30’s.
Today, will be a transition day with a high-pressure ridge developing over the Rockies, there will be less wind but still breezy from the northwest 15-25 mph, highs reach to around 60’s. Saturday the upper-level ridge moves over the area with a trough deepening out west resulting in breezy southwest winds and temps warming to near 80. Starting Sunday, it cools as trough out west begins to flatten the ridge and a couple disturbance kick out of the Rockies Sunday and then again Tuesday and Wednesday possibly triggering some scattered rain showers. The current forecasted track for both low pressures is pretty much directly over the area and progressive movement would result in less moisture and more wind!
Today the deep cut-off upper-level low spinning over the Great Lakes region will result in another day of 60+ mph north winds and colder 50-degree air on the back side of the system. The winds plus low RH will result in red flag warnings and elevated fire danger concerns. Tomorrow, will be a transition day with a high-pressure ridge developing over the Rockies that will keep things dry with elevated fire concerns with low RH’s and breezy northwest winds, highs reach into low 60’s. Saturday the upper-level ridge moves over the area with a trough deepening out west resulting in breezy southwest winds and temps warming into the 70’s.

Today we will see gusty north-northwest winds and colder temps in the 40’s. Tonight’s, lows drop into the lower to mid-20’s with diminishing winds and clear skies. Tomorrow ridging and southerly flow ahead of the next trough and low-pressure Friday will warm Thursday’s highs back to seasonal readings in the lower 60’s, while Friday temps drop into the middle 50’s with a chance for some scattered rain showers with a quick moving system. Friday will be windy ahead and behind the disturbance. Zonal flow and slight riding over the weekend warms temps back into the 60’s followed by next progressive shortwave Sunday night and Monday will being next chance for scattered precipitation and winds.
Today an upper-level trough and cold front move into the area later in the afternoon and evening, while the low-pressure moves from Goodland to Omaha overnight off into southeast MN tomorrow morning. This will increase clouds, bring gusty northwest winds, cooler temps and chances for some scattered rain showers and thunderstorm later this afternoon, evening and overnight. Tomorrow as the system moves away it will be windy and much colder with temps in the 40’s. Thursday ridging and southerly flow ahead of the next trough and low-pressure Friday will warm Thursday’s highs back to seasonal readings in the lower 60’s and Friday drop into the middle 50’s with a chance for some scattered rain showers with a quick moving system. Zonal flow and slight riding over the weekend warms temps back into the 60’s.
Today a shortwave moving through the Dakotas will push a front and cooler airmass over the area with highs in the mid to upper 50’s. Tomorrow and Sunday the ridge to our west amplifies and shifts eastward over the area Monday ahead of a trough and low-pressure move into the west Coast. High temps will warm into the 70’s and 80’s on Monday and lows in the upper 30’s and 40’s with winds turning to a southerly direction. Tuesday the trough trails a cold front over the area and the low-pressure is now forecast to move over the CO/KS/NE line northeast to Minnesota Tuesday might through Thursday morning. This will increase clouds, bring gust north winds and colder temps and chances for some scattered rain showers and snow showers. Current track would be drier and more scattered with heavier precipitation north and east of us again.
Today upper-level ridging over the Rockies and northwesterly flow will lead to warmer more seasonal daytime temps in the mid-60’s and warmer lows in the mid-30’s. Tomorrow a quick moving trough and cold front will glance the area from the north and cool temps slightly into the upper 50’s and low 60’s. Over the weekend the ridge amplifies out west and shifts eastward over the area Monday ahead of a trough and low-pressure digging into Arizona. This will lead to warming temps into the 70’s and 80’s on Monday for highs and lows in the upper 30’s and 40’s with winds turning to the south and southwest direction. Tuesday the trough trails a cold front over the area and the low-pressure moves to the Texas Panhandle region, increasing clouds and chances for rain showers late in the day and overnight.
Today north winds will remain breezy at 20-30 mph behind the recent storm system moving into the upper Midwest locally it will, while temps warm some into the upper 40’s. Upper-level ridging building out west and northwesterly flow will lead to warmer more seasonal daytime temps in the 60’s and at night in the 30’s tomorrow and Friday. Then over the weekend the ridge shifts eastward over the area warming temps into the 70’s for highs and lows in the upper 30’s and low 40’s with winds turning to the south direction.
A closed low-pressure system that brought rain and snow last 24hrs moves away and intensifies snow will end but north winds will gust 30-50 mph. HIGH WIND WARNING ALONG AND EAST HWY 83, high temps in the 40’s and lows in the upper 20’s. Tomorrow as the storm system moves into the upper Midwest locally it will continue to be windy from the north 20-30 mph behind it, while temps warm some with riding building to the west. The rest of the week the region will be under northwesterly flow as high-pressure ridge rebuilds over the Rockies. This will lead to seasonal daytime temps in the 60’s and at night in the lower to mid-30’s. Over the weekend the ridge shifts eastward warming temps into the 70’s.
A closed low has moved out of southern CO to TX/NM border overnight and has trailed a cold front across the Tri-state area. A cold rain will develop over the area today with temps in the upper 30’s and low 40’s then mixes with and change to snow this evening and overnight as the system moves northeast across Kansas. Behind the system tomorrow it will be mostly cloudy, windy, and colder with precipitation moving off to east by daybreak, high temps in the lower 40’s and lows mid-20’s. The rest of the week the region will be under northwesterly flow as high-pressure ridge rebuilds over the Rockies. This will lead to seasonal daytime temps in the 50’s and 60’s and at night in the upper 20’s to lower to mid-30’s.
Clearing skies and high-pressure builds over the Rockies today, will result in northwest flow and temps rebound back into the low to mid 50’s. Over the weekend the upper-level high-pressure moves over the area pushing highs into the 60’s and 70’s ahead of a strong storm system kicking out of the Rockies on Monday. Showers and t-storms are likely with good chances for heavier rainfall. During the day temps will be colder only reaching into the upper 40’s with strong southeast winds turning northeast and dropping lows into the upper 20’s. Monday night and Tuesday morning there is potential for accumulating snow on the backside of the system with temps being below freezing.
Today a low-pressure system moving out of the Central Rockies through the area will produce morning to mid-afternoon snow and rain showers. As the system moves through temps will be in the 35-40-degree range, thus precipitation should be mostly rain with higher potential for snow and rain and snow mix is to the west in Colorado. Rain moves east in the afternoon and skies clear overnight dropping lows into the mid-20’s. However, the cold will be short lived as high-pressure builds again to the west and temps rebound back into the 50’s Friday and into the 60’s Saturday and Sunday with upper-level ridging over the area. Monday the next storm system kicks out of the Rockies with good chances for additional rainfall.
Today a dry cool front will move through this morning followed by an upper-level low that will bring around of precipitation tomorrow morning moving east in the afternoon. Today we will see temps top out in the upper 50’s and low 60’s with increasing clouds and north winds. The temp early tomorrow morning will be right around 32, thus precipitation will begin as a rain and snow mix and transition to cold rain showers later in the morning before moving east in the afternoon. Daytime temps will be much colder in the 30’s with lows dropping into the mid-20’s. However, the cold will be short lived as high-pressure builds again to the west and temps rebound back into the 50’s Friday and into the 60’s Saturday and Sunday with upper-level ridging over the area ahead of the next storm system late Sunday and Monday.
Today’s weather set-up has a high shifting east and a lee trough developing in the Front Range leading to breezy southwest winds, and warm and dry conditions. Daytime temps will reach into the upper 60’s to around 70-degrees. Tomorrow, the trough starts working east, increasing clouds and cooling temps a tad into the mid-60’s ahead of a Thursday low-pressure that moves through OK/TX and cold-front through the Tri-state area with some morning light early morning rain snow mix moving east as rain later in the morning and early afternoon. Temps in the mid-40’s Thursday rebound back into the upper 50’s Friday and into the 60’s Saturday with high-pressure and ridging return ahead of the next storm system late Sunday and Monday.
After a 70-degree temps yesterday, todays highs in the lower 50’s will seem chilly behind a trough and cold front that moved through during the overnight hours. Gusty north winds 20-30 mph will diminish late in the afternoon and evening as high-pressure begins to move back in from the west. Tuesday high-pressure moves over the area with breezy southwest winds pushing temps back into the upper 60’s to around 70-degrees. Wednesday the high-pressure ridge flattens cooling temps a tad into the mid-60’s ahead of the next trough and disturbance to end the week. Wednesday night and Thursday morning a low-pressure system moves through Ok/TX panhandles, while trough and cold-front pushes through with some morning light rain snow mix moving east as rain in the afternoon. Temps in the mid-40’s Thursday rebound back into the upper 50’s Friday.
Cold air will impact the Tri-state area for one more day before a nice warm-up this weekend with an upper-level ridge out west shifting eastward over the Rockies. This morning’s wind chills below zero and temps in the single digits will rebound into the upper 20’s to low 30’s. Over the weekend the high-pressure ridge will bring westerly down-sloping winds and more seasonal temperature readings into the 50’s Saturday to around 60 on Sunday. Monday a back door cool front drops temps into the lower 50’s for a day. Tuesday high-pressure moves eastward with warmer southwesterly flow over the area will push temps into the upper 60’s to around 70-degrees and starts to feel Spring like as area schools begin their Spring breaks.
WINTER STORM WARNING AND SNOW ENDING A quick moving winter storm system dumped 4” to 8” snow across the Tri-state area will leave behind it very cold temps for today and tonight. Today’s temps will only be in the teens with cloudy skies. Tonight, clouds decrease, and lows drop into the low single digits. Tomorrow remains cold with morning wind chills below zero and afternoon temps rebound into the upper 20’s to low 30’s. Over the weekend high-pressure and westerly down-sloping winds bring more seasonal temperature readings into the 50’s with snow on the ground holding back the warm-up a bit. Monday a back door cool front drops temps into the lower 50’s for a day.
WINTER STORM WARNING 6 PM TODAY THRU 6 PM TOMORROW Today a Denver low-pressure system will move into southwest KS tonight. Snow showers develop in upsloping east flow along a stalled front on the KS/NE border this afternoon. East winds increase and snow becomes moderate to heavy at times this evening and overnight as the cold front moves southward across northwest and western KS. This could lead to some blowing and drifting snow 4” to 8” and very cold temps for tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. Friday remains cold with morning temps lower single digits and afternoon temps in the upper 20’s to low 30’s. Over the weekend high-pressure leads to warmer more Spring like weather conditions.
WINTER STORM WATCH WEDNESDAY AM TO THURSDAY PM Today will be a quiet weather day ahead of a storm system coming over the Rockies from the northwest tomorrow. Today some sunshine and northwest flow will warm temps into the low 40’s. Tomorrow snow showers develop in upsloping flow along a stalled front along I-70, ahead of a low-pressure system and cold front swinging through in the evening overnight. This could lead to some blowing and drifting snow and colder temps for Wednesday night, Thursday and Thursday night. Friday remains cold with morning temps lower single digits and afternoon temps in the upper 20’s to low 30’s. Over the weekend high-pressure leads to warmer more seasonal weather conditions.
After a cold and snowy weekend, temperature will moderate into the low 30’s today and low 40’s tomorrow, ahead of the next disturbance and cold air surge on Wednesday. High pressure moves over the region today, then off to the east tomorrow, resulting in northwest flow turning to the southwest warming temps to readings, still below normal for this time of the year. Wednesday snow showers develop in upsloping flow along a stalled front along I-70, ahead of a low-pressure and cold front swinging through overnight. This could lead to some blowing and drifting snow and cold temps for Wednesday night and Thursday. Friday remains cold with morning temps around zero and afternoon temps in the 20’s to low 30’s. Over the weekend high-pressure leads to warmer more seasonal weather conditions.
The stalled front over the area yesterday that brought clouds, fog and cooler temps has lifted north of the Nebraska border overnight, thus today will be influence by southwesterly flow and the upper-level ridge that brought the warm temps this weak gets shoved eastward as a trough moves into the Rockies. Today’s temps will warm into the 70’s with gusty southwest winds and ahead of a low-pressure system moving across the region overnight and into east-central NE tomorrow. This track will have the Tri-state area in the dry slot and snow chances just to our north and west and rain chances to the north and east with cooler temps. Sunday and Monday a second system will move through the Southern Plains pulling colder air over the area, but heavier rain and snow activity stays south of us with some light snow chances in the early AM’s or few sprinkles of rain during the day.
The upper-level ridge out west will continue to be the dominate weather feature as it moves over the area today and tomorrow, with unseasonably warm and dry conditions. This morning, a weak cool front has backed to the NE/KS border Hwy 36 area, with some morning fog and northeast winds, this will lead to slightly cooler temps than what we saw yesterday. Morning temps will start in the lower 30’s and climb into the 60’s north Hwy 36 NE line and 70’s to the south. Tomorrow with southwesterly flow we will again warm into the mid to upper 70’s ahead of a low-pressure system and cold front moving across the region overnight. The current forecasted track of this disturbance would have the Tri-state area in the dry slot and snow chances just to our north and west and rain chances to the north and east Saturday with cooler temps. Sunday and Monday a second system will move through the Southern Plains pulling colder air over the area, but heavier rain and snow activity stays south of us.
An expanding ridge over the Western US building eastward will be the dominant weather feature with unseasonably warm and dry weather until a trough and series of disturbances come over the Rockies and across the Plains Friday night and over the weekend. Today down-slope westerly flow will warm daytime temps to near record readings in the mid to upper 70’s. Tomorrow, a weak cool front backs into the NE/KS state line, but we still warm in the upper 60’s with some high clouds north of the border and lower 70’s south. Friday will again warm into the mid-70’s ahead of the first low-pressure and cold front moving across the region overnight. The current forecasted track of this disturbance would have the Tri-state area in the dry slot and snow chances just to our north and west and rain chances to the north and east Saturday with colder temps. Sunday a second wave of energy move through the Southern Plains with colder air and chance for rain and snow mostly south of us.
An upper-level ridge over the Western US moves east over the area on Thursday resulting in unseasonably warm and dry weather until Friday and over the weekend when the next upper-level trough and series of systems come over the Rockies and across the Plains. Today and tomorrow down-slope westerly flow will keep warming daytime temps into the 70’s. Thursday, a weak cool front backs into the high a bit, but we still warm in the upper 60’s with some high clouds. Friday will warm to around 70-degrees ahead of the first low-pressure and cold front moving across the region late in the day and overnight. The current computer model forecasted track of this disturbance would have the Tri-state area in the dry slot and snow chances just to our north and rain chances to the east Friday night and Saturday with colder temps.
This week unseasonably warm and dry weather prevails until Friday and over the weekend when the next upper-level trough and series of systems come over the Rockies and across the Plains. Today, a minor upper-level trough will start the day with some clouds and colder temps, but afternoon sun and west-northwest winds warm us in the mid-60’s. Tomorrow and Wednesday, a high-pressure ridge continues to amplify over the Western U.S. and down-slope westerly flow will keep warming daytime temps into the 70’s. Thursday the ridges axis moves over the area and east, but we still warm in the 60’s with some high clouds. Friday will cool into the low 60’s with the first low-pressure and cold front moving across the region late in the day and overnight. Current track would have the Tri-state area in the dry slot and precipitation north and east of the area.
Today Arctic high-pressure shifts east and southerly flow warms temps into the low to mid 30’s and nighttime temps in the low teens. Saturday a ridge begins to rebuild out to the west bring northwest flow over the area warming daytime temps into the mid 40’s and overnight lows into the mid-teens. Sunday ridge expands over the area and more westerly flow keeps warming temps into the upper 50’s. Monday a minor upper-level trough moves through halting the warm-up briefly with slightly cooler temps in mid-50’s. Tuesday ridge of high-pressure continues to amplify over the western half U.S. and west-southwest flow will keep warming daytime temps into the 60’s, 10-15-degrees above normal and lows in the upper 20’s and low 30’s.
Very cold Arctic air will sit over the Tri-state region one more day with daytime temps in the teens, lows near zero and wind chills below zero. A band of light snow will move through in the morning north I-70 with ½” up to 2” along the KS/NE border. Tomorrow Arctic high-pressure shifts east and southerly flow warms temps into the low to mid 30’s and nighttime temps in the low teens. Saturday a ridge begins to rebuild out to the west bring northwest flow over the area warming daytime temps into the mid 40’s and overnight lows into the mid-teens. Sunday ridge expands over the area and more westerly flow keeps warming temps into the upper 50’s. Monday a minor upper-level trough moves through halting the warm-up briefly with slightly cooler temps in mid-50’s.
WIND CHILL WARNING UNTIL 9 AM ADVISORY UNTIL 1 PM Very cold Arctic air will sit over the Central US as the deep upper-level trough slowly moves east out of the Rockies and through the Plains today and tomorrow. This will result in temps in the teens, while lows and wind chills fall below zero. Some light snow or flurries possible tonight and tomorrow morning when piece of energy rotates through Texas and the Southeast. Friday a Arctic high-pressure shifts east southerly flow warms temps into the low to mid 30’s and nighttime temps in the low teens. Saturday a ridge begins to rebuild out to the west bring northwest flow over the area warming daytime temps into the mid 40’s and overnight lows into the mid-teens. Sunday ridge expands over the area and more westerly flow keeps warming temps into the upper 50’s.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY UNTIL 1 PM Very cold Arctic air will sit over the Central US as a deep upper-level trough slowly moves east through Thursday. This will result in temps in the teens, while lows and wind chills fall below zero. Some light snow or flurries possible tonight and Thursday morning when pieces of energy rotate through the trough. Friday a Arctic high-pressure shifts east southerly flow warms temps into the mid to upper 20’s and nighttime temps in the single digits. Saturday a ridge begins to rebuild out to the west bring northwest flow over the area warming daytime tens into the upper 30’s and low 40’s and overnight lows into the teens.
Today and tomorrow, we will see a drastic change from yesterday’s 65-70-degrees as an upper-level trough and low kicks out of the 4-Corners and Arctic air and high-pressure sink south behind it. Today temps reach into the low 50’s midday when lighter southwest winds turn to the northeast and increase to 15-30 mph by evening and dropping overnight temps through the 20’s and teens to around zero at daybreak. Tuesday and Wednesday temps will only be in the low teens, while lows and wind chills fall below zero with some light snow or flurries possible in the evenings and early morning hours. Wednesday night another piece of energy rotates through the deep trough in Texas kicking up some light snow or flurries through noon Thursday. Friday high-pressure and southerly flow starts a warming trend into mid 20’s and low 30’s.
Today and tomorrow ridging and high-pressure rebuild over Rockies warm temps back into the 50’s and low 60’s with breezy northwest winds today and gusty southerly winds tomorrow. Sunday the ridge flattens with more zonal flow and high clouds increasing as a trough digs into the 4-Corners remains warm with highs in the mid-60’s. Monday a cold front move through as the next deeper upper-level trough moves over the Rockies funneling much colder Arctic air south over the Central U.S. Monday’s daytime temps will be in 30’s with increase clouds and northeast winds with chance for some light snow late in the day and overnight as 4-Corner low kicks out and moves through Southern Plains on Tuesday. This pulls Arctic air further south with daytime temps around 10-degrees and lows and wind chills below zero with some light snow or flurries possible in the morning.
Today down-sloping westerly flow will warm temperatures into the upper 50’s ahead of an upper-level trough and Canadian clipper system moving across the North Dakota border and Great Lakes tomorrow. This will swing a cold front through with 30-50 mph gusty north winds and drop temperatures to more seasonal readings on Friday and Saturday. Daytime temperatures will be n the 40’s and nighttime lows in teens and low 20’s. No precipitation is expected other than maybe some light snow flurries or sprinkles in eastern Colorado. Sunday and Monday ridging out west rebuilds and northwesterly flow locally warms temps back into the 50’s and low 60’s.
The winter weather pattern continues to be stagnant with high-pressure and ridging over the Pacific and Rockies, low pressure over eastern Canada and a Clipper system storm track along the Canadian border and upper Midwest with brief shot of Arctic air and light snow events locally. This will lead to windy, mild, and dry conditions this week and into next with daytime temps in the 50’s to around 60 with overnight lows in the 20’s. The next dry cold front associate with a clipper system to our north swings through Friday night and Saturday. This will lead to more seasonal temperatures in the 40’s and maybe squeeze out some light snow flurries in the early morning hours and increase winds ahead and behind it. Thus the 10-15-degree above normal temps, lack of precipitation and the wind will continue to intensify drought and elevated fire concerns across the region.
High-pressure and ridging over the Rockies will lead to windy, mild and dry conditions over the Central Plains for the foreseeable future. Daytime temps will warm into the 50’s to around 60 with overnight lows in the 20’s. These temperatures will be 10-15-degrees above normal for early to mid-February. While the main upper-level Jet and storm track remain along the Canadian border and upper Midwest, two upper-level trough and cold front moves will move through Wednesday night and Thursday and again Friday night and Saturday. This will lead to more seasonal temperatures in the 40’s and maybe squeeze out some light snow flurries in the early morning hours. Otherwise, dry, and mild conditions will continue to intensify drought and elevated fire concerns, especially in areas east of highway 25 where there is less snowpack.
After some cold Arctic air out of Canada moved over the area to start the month, the next 10-days sees high-pressure and ridging build to the west over the Rockies once again. This will lead to northwest flow over the Central Plains warming daytime temps into the 50’s to around 60 with overnight lows in the 20’s. These temps will be 10-15-degrees above normal for early to mid-February. While the main upper-level Jet and storm track remain along the Canadian border and upper Midwest, the next upper-level trough and cold front moves will move through Wednesday night and Thursday. This will lead to more seasonal temperatures in the 40’s for one day and maybe squeeze out some light snow flurries out over eastern Colorado. Otherwise, dry, and mild conditions will continue to intensify drought and elevated fire concerns as we have seen all Fall and Winter.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY UNTIL 9 AM Cold start this AM with temps in single digits and wind chills below zero. Today and tomorrow northwest flow aloft and westerly surface winds will warm daytime temps into mid-30’s and mid-40’s for highs and lows in the mid-teens to around 20-degrees.
