Marty’s Sunday Morning Forecast – Still Windy – 11/8/2020
Overview: We’re tracking fast-moving waves this week that will keep us windy, cool the air, and bring precipitation to primarily the mountains along the Continental Divide. Although we aren’t expecting heavy precipitation over eastern Colorado this week, it’s possible that some areas could receive brief bursts of rain and/or snow.
Today: Mostly sunny and windy the rest of the day. The strongest wind gusts should occur this morning, but the afternoon will also be windy at times and all areas will be cooler with high temperatures in the 50s and 60s for most areas on the plains, mainly 40s to lower 50s over our local mountain areas and the southern valleys.
Tonight: Mostly clear and colder with decreasing wind. By morning we expect the air will have cooled into the 20s and 30s for most areas.
Extended: The workweek looks cooler with high temperatures in the 40s and 50s for the plains for much of the week. Monday should be partly cloudy and breezy to windy at times as another upper level wave approaches the area. This wave should bring another shot of snow to primarily the mountains along the Continental Divide Monday and Monday night, but we cannot rule out at least some spotty rain and/or snow showers reaching the eastern mountains and the I-25 corridor too late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon looks mostly sunny, breezy, and cool. More wind as another wave brings snow to the mountains along the Continental Divide Wednesday and Wednesday night. Again, it appears the precipitation will be spotty at best along the I-25 corridor Wednesday night into Thursday morning if it develops at all. Dry starting Thursday afternoon with periods of mountain wave clouds and wind likely as we head into a warmer start to next weekend.
