Sat in the unfortunately named Harvard Gulch Park yesterday with some friends, socially distancing assiduously, and the gusty winds didn’t materialize. It was right just about nearly more perfect. Another one today, a little warmer. Possibly some high level bumpers after 3 in the metro, not many and we won’t get much water from them. Hot, low to mid 90s might make triple digits out east of the metro.
Monday more of the same, some gusty winds possible especially out toward Elbert/Lincoln County increasing fire danger. Southwesterly flow aloft because we’re still on the east side of that big upper trough pushing from the west coast. A surface cold front will swing through late Monday cooling it down a bit for the night.
Tuesday, still a little mixed up. We’ll be on the leading edge of that big upper trough pushing in from the west, the cold front that went through will bring a little more moisture to the mix, and the trough circulation may begin dragging a little gulf coast stuff in at the upper level, possibly pulling all the way to the metro. Maybe. So, maybe we’ll see some real thunderstorms Tuesday, maybe not. As we get a little closer, get the afternoon soundings, should be able to call it.
