Unusually long stretch of dry and mild weather arriving in southern Colorado

Posted

Today’s Forecast:

A grade-A weather day in southern Colorado with highs 5-12 degrees above average. High pressure with modest northwesterly winds combine to produce unusually calm and tranquil conditions for this time of year. Today is a day where the weather will help rather than impact any plans you have. Some gusty breezes in the central front range, and northern mountains, particularly higher elevations, where stable air will tend to sink and accelerate. No such conditions on the southern Front Range corridor.

Extended outlook forecast:
High pressure remains in place all week, leading to calm and relaxing mild weather with plenty of sunshine. A cold front late Sunday into early Monday drops temperatures slightly, before a warm up Tuesday. We'll track another cold front Wednesday, with a bit of mountain snow possible, before we're back to a quiet pattern for the end of the week. Our next weather maker is tracking towards a christmastime arrival - raising the potential for a white christmas.
