Discussion
There will be a progressive pattern through the late week time period as zonal flow (ie west-to-east) develops overhead as a ridge of high pressure flattens. An upper level trough of low pressure will quickly move across Colorado on Thursday along with its associated cold front and this will set off a cooling trend that will continue to the weekend. A strong storm will likely cross Colorado late Friday into Saturday and this storm threatens to bring more significant snowfall to the region.
