Warming for the weekend
TONIGHT: Winds begin to clam overnight, and skies will remain clear. This will allow temperatures to drop towards seasonal values (Upper teens and low 20s).
FRIDAY: We continue to warm as we end the week. Temperatures will approach the upper 60s and low 70s across the Plains. A mix of sun and clouds is expected, with some evening snow over the high country.
EXTENDED: Saturday will feature a chance for a few post frontal showers Saturday afternoon and evening. Temperatures will also be about twenty degrees cooler Sunday.
CLIMATE NEWS: After 3 years, La Niña has officially ended and we are back to our neutral pattern for Colorado which means average precip and seasonal temps are likely to remain steady through Spring and early summer 2023.
There is a possibility of El Niño by late summer and fall of 2023 which would yield ABOVE average precip towards the end of the year; however, it is still too early to call.
All of the above is GOOD NEWS for the high likelihood of more precip to come and the recovery of our current drought
