We expect to see a few more storms and tears develop along the front range this evening. Coming from the from the sky. A radar update next in taking a kind of hazy look over the flatirons in boulder. Still nice out there. You know, its funny. I was driving and all this cloud and then all of a sudden the further north i got today the sun came out and it was really cloudy. Just depended where, Little Pockets of sunshine. Its really gray this morning, kathy. It really was and if you werent paying attention or you didnt watch 9news last night, you did not see this coming, right . Right. But we listened last night. Thank you. Yeah. I knew it was going to be a shock for folks when we had, you know, 90s on sunday and monday and it was just pristine, blue sky, very little thunderstorm activity. Front comes in, we woke up and it was dark. When that alarm went off at 6 15 to get the little ones off to Elementary School this morning, its like wow, it dark, it is foggy and it is drizzly and some of you may experience that again tomorrow. Weve got these eastnortheast winds keeping that low level moisture in. You can see it. You can feel it and temperatures today reflecting that front. 15 to 20 degrees cooler. Now, up high down lgsouth, goodness, that is beautiful in areas like ridgeway, our web Camera Network showing us a Beautiful Day and another great reminder of how lucky we are to live here. 79 at the airport, i still will see. Front didnt make it all the way into Southeastern Colorado clearly but in the high country it was chilly, 64 in leadville. The average this time of year is 82 so we are not too far off the mark there and i think we will be just a few degrees warmer tomorrow but humidity high, dew point, available moisture is there, winds are right, we are waiting to see if we get warm enough to get the thunderstorms going and so far its quiet and i dont know if youre like me, maybe you dont mind its quiet today. Back to work, back to school. 80 in the 9 numbers are pretty mild for this time of year. Look at the radar with the heating and the moisture, not a lot happening yet but weve got to watch these little speckles that are kind of showing up on the radar screen because they could turn into strong storms yet tonight. The front is dropping to the south and thats where we are seeing some of the heavier convection, the lightning, the heavy rain, Flash Flood Watch areas outside our states border, firefighters in the north and Central Mountains are pleased with this return of moisture to cooler air, less wind today, red flag warning but notice the green here, this flash flood area, there is a hurricane down by Cabo San Lucas and this is newton, that moisture is going to get caught up in the jet stream flow and these storms are going to be moving slowly, the steering winds aloft are pretty weak so any that make them into make it into southern colorado are heavy rain producers. I think we are going to be drier today, the yeah, the low cloud deck again, but with the wind shift in the afternoon, the heth with a mix of clouds and sunshine it should be a milder day and not such a dark and gloomy start to your day. This is newton and newton is a stinker because sitting there trying to decide if it wants to strengthen or not, winds to 75 miles an hour moving inland and the models cannot decide if they are going to keep the moisture south of colorado or bring it into our state. If youre headed to tucson and phoenix, you better brace for two to 4 inches of rain if youre headed there and look at the heavy rain potential and some of these red and purple areas theres going to be flooding issues, the stream of albuquerque to where the low is sitting around omaha and minneapolis. I think we have Beautiful Day coming up tomorrow once we get the sun out, we will do low 80s here, cool air to the north of us and notice the heat building across the southern plain states and the southwest as well. Southwest is quiet in colorado right now, the heaviest convection is in Southeastern Colorado, tracking from the southwest to the northeast, notice here our model is not overly enthusiastic about strong storms tonight so we hope that holds true. Its simply been cloudy and cool today and kind of tough get that atmosphere kind of unstable enough to get that convection going but you will deal with fog out on i76 late tonight into tomorrow, foggy, cloudy, call dia if you have a flight, some issues there. 11 00 in the morning, beautiful, southwest winds push moisture up ahead of newton into southern colorado but doesnt look like an overly stormy day. Cool, though, in the mountains, back in the 30s there. 50s out west. Mid50s in denver and these lows are quite mild in Southeastern Colorado where right back there again tomorrow but we are starting to see the numbers creep back up again. This is the time of year that its just pristine weather in colorado, september and october should be mild and dry every day, we are not there yet but i think that pattern shift is coming. And so 79 in evergreen, 69 the high in at any rateland tomorrow nederland tomorrow and youre halfway through your week and a decent looking forecast coming up for you. In denver tonight theres still the chance for rain. Donting fooled dont be fooled by the sun. A low at 55. Tomorrow the fog and cloud cover is back, burns off quicker, warmer day as a result, 74 by noon, 83 in the afternoon. Smidge, an isolated thunderstorm in because you have moisture and any heating of the day youre going to get one or two that pop up. The thursday forecast looks great and thats great news because theres a little Football Game here in town on thursday night and then we are cooler friday, warmer for the weekend and then we have a fall like change coming in next week with temperatures in the 60s and 70s and overnight low well.
