Today's NOAA Weather Map Forecast

seems like this thread would be more useful if you just posted TODAY's map as the subject suggests

Thank you for the recommendation Wily Fox. Unfortunately, if we deleted the previous day's post, and put up the current days forecast in its place, the day/time stamp wouldn't change so the post wouldn't be bumped up in our Active Topics or New Posts. (Plus, we think it's kind of neat to have a history of forecasts). If you wish to go to the most recent post, all you have to do is click on the bent-corner page symbol underneath Last Post category on the Index page, and it bypasses all other posts in that thread taking you right to the last one posted.



Here's today's forecast (a little late today, sorry about that):


For today and tonight:
High pressure will prevail over the region through tonight with dry
and mild conditions continuing.


For Tuesday through Sunday:
There will be a slight chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms
Tuesday mainly in and near the foothills. A weather disturbance
will move across the area late Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday
night and will produce a better chance of thunderstorms in the
northern foothills and across the northeast plains. A few of the
storms could be severe. For Thursday and Friday it will be mainly
dry with only a slight chance of showers in the mountains. By
Saturday through next Monday, a storm system will move in,
bringing a cooler, more moist, unsettle weather pattern to the
forecast area. Hopefully much needed precipitation will occur.

For today and tonight:
There will be a slight chance of late afternoon and early evening
thunderstorms in the foothills, Palmer Divide and along the
Front Range Urban Corridor today. The storms will be capable of
producing gusty winds to 40 mph along with brief light to
moderate rain.


For Wednesday through Monday:
A weather disturbance will move across northeast Colorado late
Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night which will produce another
chance of thunderstorms over the northern foothills and across the
northeast plains. A few of the storms could be severe. For
Thursday and Friday it will be mainly dry with only a slight chance
of showers in the mountains. Over the weekend, a storm system will
move in, bringing a cooler, more moist, unsettled weather pattern
to the forecast area. This storm may bring significant
precipitation in the Saturday through Monday time frame, but
that depends on the track and intensity of the storm which is
still quite uncertain.

Keep your sunscreen handy with mostly sunny skies and record or near record warmth today and Wednesday.A change in the weather is expected to reach the area Thursday with increasing instability and a fast moving upper level disturbance. This will bring a threat of severe weather across portions of the northeast plains. http://weather.gov/bou

An isolated early evening thunderstorm will be possible in the foothills otherwise it will be dry. Overnight there will be a slight chance of thunderstorms over the far northeast plains after midnight. The storms over the plains may produce gusty winds, small hail and some heavy rain in a few spots.

There will be a slight chance of afternoon and early evening thunderstorms in the foothills and mountains. The storms may produce gusty winds to 40 mph...small hail and brief moderate to heavy rain.

Scattered thunderstorms will develop over the mountains in the afternoon and move over the plains over the evening hours. Heavy rainfall is possible on the east side of the Front Range mountains in the afternoon and early evening. One to two inches over a one to two hour time period is possible. Some street flooding may occur along with gusting winds and small hail. http://weather.gov/bou

Well above normal temperatures combined with very low humidity levels and gusty winds will lead to extreme fire danger in the southern foothills...park county and across all of Northeast Colorado. Over the higher terrain along and north of I-70 extreme fire danger will be in place as well as widely scattered high based thunderstorms this afternoon. These storms will produce gusty winds to 50 mph but little rainfall. The thunderstorm activity should diminish after sunset along with decreasing winds.

LATE TONIGHT A COLD FRONT WILL BE SLIDING SOUTH OUT OF WYOMING TOWARD EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH NORTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25 MPH ALONG THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. http://weather.gov/bou

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON AS A WEAKENING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY TRACKS EASTWARD OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER TODAY'S RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS GREAT AS THOSE OBSERVED IN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ANDEVENING. MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD ALSO REMAIN EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 25 URBAN CORRIDOR WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE MORE MOIST AND UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON. IN THE HIGH COUNTRY PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS RAIN AND/OR SNOW...WITH THE SNOW LEVEL GENERALLY ABOVE 11 THOUSAND FEET. AREAS ABOVE TIMBERLINE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PICK UP ANOTHER FEW INCHES OF SNOW BY THIS EVENING.
