Saturday morning, oh yeah it’s looking like Colorado

A little wind along the Palmer Divide and east around DIA this morning, not much downtown north. We’re going to call those drainage winds. The cold stuff left from the last couple days left in the mountains, heavier than the warm air coming in, escaping to lower ground.  Wind should be dying down pretty soon, not much for the rest of the day. It’s pretty, and going to stay that way today. Just a few high clouds and a lot of Colorado blue sky to keep us around. 10-20 degrees warmer today, so just on the warm side of pleasant. Mid-80s, yeah! Hey, we deserve it.  

And tomorrow much the same.  Some bumpers in the mountains and maybe along high points like the Palmer Ridge on the south end of town, but nothing significant.  

Pretty much the story for the southwest part of the continent. Big, big area of pretty.  Elsewhere not so much. Rain up in Washington and the normal line of scattered thunderstorms developing from Texas to Minnesota, fewer south end of that more north, and along the east coast.  Fewer south there, too.
