Sitting on the porch, only one squirrel this morning. Reading the Times, the horror story building in Houston. Sigh. Here it’s a little breezy this morning, we’ve got eight or ten miles per down this way. Maybe a bit more at roof top. As forecast out of the southwest. Not quite as much up toward Boulder this morning, and oddly less out at DIA. South end is going to get the wind this time, some gusty stuff forecast for around noon along this side of the Parker Divide, maybe up to 25-30, but not up the north end. Warm, mid-90s today, might see some triple digits out to the east. We’re on the east side of that deep upper trough, so the flow will be pretty dry today and we won’t see much in the way of bumpers this afternoon. Fire danger to the east of us, of course.
The upper trough from the west is forecast to hit northwest Colorado tomorrow morning, pushing along a surface cold front, and it’ll bring some moisture in with it at altitude. At the surface, though, that cold front will bring westerly winds on the surface during the hot period, so nothing to drag the moisture down. Right now it looks like we won’t see a lot of thunder bumpers out of this on Tuesday. Chances of precipitation less than 20%. It’s kind of on the edge with all this, a little wiggle in the front could cause something to happen, but it seems unlikely at this point.
Wednesday dry and hot, looks like 90s for the next stretch of forever. Best shot on some rain will be Sunday.
