An active weather pattern over the next several days will feature a powerful wind event on Wednesday night across many northeastern states and then an Arctic air mass will invade the eastern states early next week. The powerful winds on Wednesday night will be associated with an intensifying low-pressure system that forms along a strong cold frontal boundary zone and 60+ mph wind gusts are on the table for some locations. By the end of the upcoming weekend, another strong cold front will slide into the eastern states, and this system will usher in the coldest air of the season so far with the first hard freeze in many spots and accumulating snow will be possible across the Great Lakes, interior sections of the northeastern states.

It turns comfortably warm today with plenty of sunshine and afternoon high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70’s. The remainder of the week looks to remain on the dry side as the overall relatively quiet weather pattern continues across much of the Rocky Mountain States.

There will be as many as three cold fronts to deal with in the northeastern part of the nation during the next week or so, but the third system will be the most important and is destined to arrive late in the upcoming weekend. The first cold front comes through on Wednesday night primarily on the dry side and it turns slightly cooler behind it on Thursday. The second cold front then arrives at the end of the work week likely producing some shower activity from late Friday night into early Saturday; however, temperatures will hardly change at all this weekend following its passage. It is the third cold front that arrives on Sunday night that will be very noticeable as it is at the leading edge of an Arctic air mass…the coldest air so far this season. This cold air outbreak early next week may be accompanied by some early season accumulating snow across the Great Lakes, interior sections of the Northeast US and New England.

The main theme of the overall weather pattern for the next several days is “dry” with no rain or snow on the horizon. It’ll be on the cool side for another day, but then it turns warmer this weekend with highs by Sunday afternoon likely to be well up in the 70’s.

The main theme of the overall weather pattern for the next several days is “dry” with no rain or snow on the horizon. It’ll be on the cool side for the next couple of days, but then it turns warmer this weekend with highs by Sunday afternoon likely to be well up in the 70’s.

It turns much cooler today across the Denver metro area and the winds will be quite noticeable as well. Winds can gusts to 25 mph from a W-NW direction and afternoon temperatures will be confined to the lower 50’s for highs. With mainly clear skies tonight, temperatures will drop way down to the middle 20’s by morning...a hard freeze in most areas. The remainder of the work week remains on the cool side, but a warming trend ensues by the weekend.

The weather stays somewhat unsettled today with the chance of showers and cooler with afternoon highs likely limited to the low-to-mid 60’s. A storm system will approach by the end of the weekend, and it should bring about cool, windy weather for the early part of next week and the potential of some accumulating mountain snow.

Tropical Storm Melissa continues to drift today over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and will likely do so for several days to come. There has been no intensification of the tropical system during the past 24 hours or so as it is in an area featuring strong westerly vertical wind shear. Wind shear in the general vicinity of the circulation center of Tropical Storm Melissa is likely to diminish over the upcoming weekend which should allow for intensification of the system into a minimal hurricane, and a strengthening to “major”, category 5 status is certainly on the table by early next week. Ultimately, this tropical system will take a turn to the north - likely crossing over central/eastern Cuba - on its way to the western Atlantic Ocean. An active weather pattern next week will feature a powerful jet streak, intense blocking in the atmosphere centered over Canada, plenty of colder-than-normal air, an intensifying upper-level trough over the central and eastern US, and Hurricane Melissa. There is quite likely going to be some kind of interaction between the inland upper-level trough and the western Atlantic Ocean hurricane, and a “late in the game” turn to the northwest by the tropical system cannot be completely ruled out.

Seasonal temperatures are likely for another day and there can be afternoon and evening shower activity. The weekend turns slightly milder, but then a storm system approaches late Sunday and the overall pattern will begin to change. Colder weather conditions are likely during the early part of next week in the Denver metro region and there can be some rain and/or snow shower activity...up in the mountains snow is likely and there can be some accumulations.
