And Windy has stormy eyes,
That flash at the sound of lies
It’s going to be Windy’s afternoon. We’re looking at gusts getting up to 45 around the metro between 3 and 7pm, starting earlier, of course, in Boulder and a little later out away from the foothills. That’s knots, so 50MPH on the speedo. Theres going to be a few thunder bumpers, high based ones, moving around but not so many, nothing throwing hail at your begonias. Unless you lie a lot, so take it easy? Wait, that’s another song.
Five-10 degrees warmer than yesterday. And maybe that many degrees cooler today than Sunday will be. That line with the wind and a few bumpers will go though this afternoon and leave a lot of dry behind. There’s a ridge of high pressure pushing in, so southwesterly flow aloft bringing us some of that desert heat Phoenix decided to pandemic in. Probably won’t see much storm stuff Sunday.
Fire weather Monday, hot and windy out on the plains. We’ll see a little gusty stuff along the Palmer Divide, that’s Park Meadows-Highlands Ranch-ish.
Tuesday’s a crapshoot. A lot of complex stuff happening at the surface and aloft, the ridge moving out being replaced by a trough (kinda how it works up there), a cold front fiddling around on the surface. If that all wiggles a little this way it could give a downslope flow and no moisture, not many storms. Wiggles a little that way and it will draw gulf moisture and more storms.
