Some Rain On The Way, And Cooler... Daytime highs will be a few degrees cooler on Monday, with another cool-down coming up Tuesday. We'll also have an increase in rainfall chances for the Foothills, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Denver's high of 94° came close to setting a record, but it was certainly hot enough, and well above average. An upper-level low is expected to head through the Northern Rockies on Monday, changing the flow across our area to the southwest. That will kick up the wind a little bit over the Foothills, and we may get a few showers, but rain chances are fairly low for now. Wind gusts of 20-30 mph will be pretty common around our area, with higher gusts in the Mountains. If we get precipitation, it'll be during the afternoon and evening. A cold front will sweep through Colorado on Tuesday, bringing another decrease in our daily highs. The big question will be how much moist air can get into Colorado with this weather pattern change. That's what will determine how much rain we get. Unfortunately, we'll have to analyze this day by day, and see what kind of precipitable water we end up with. Still, we're hopefully for a decent round of rain Tuesday and Wednesday. |
