*El Nino continues to unfold across the equatorial Pacific...signs point to a strong event with implications on the upcoming tropical season and potentially next winter as well*

Paul Dorian

El Nino is on the way, and it looks like it will be a strong event...

The equatorial Pacific Ocean is transitioning into El Nino conditions (i.e., warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures) and signs point to a strong event by the summer and fall seasons with big implications on tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin. Looking ahead, it appears this El Nino event may even last into the upcoming winter season of 2026-2027 which no doubt would have some implications across the continental US.

6:00 AM | *What a difference a week makes...remainder of this week features summer-like warmth and dry conditions*

Paul Dorian

What a difference a week makes...after last week’s unseasonably chilly weather, the week ahead will feature summer-like warmth and dry conditions with temperatures this afternoon reaching the lower 80’s. The warmest days of the week are likely to be tomorrow and Thursday and 90-degree highs are on the table for spots and there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms.

6:00 AM | ****A major snow event continues...heavy, wet snow and difficult travel conditions****

Paul Dorian

A major snow event continues

Much colder air moved into the area on Tuesday, and a significant snowstorm will bring as much as 6-10 inches of heavy, wet snow to the Denver metro region with even higher amounts near the foothills. Travel will be tricky; especially during the morning hours with temperatures hovering near the freezing mark in many areas. As is typical this time of year, the unusual cold will give way to milder conditions by week’s end.

A major snow event is on the way

Much colder air moves into the area today and a significant storm will bring rain and then a mix of rain and snow and then all snow from tonight to midday Wednesday. As much as 6-10 inches of heavy, wet snow are on the table – even in the metro region – and significant travel disruptions are likely. As is typical this time of year, the unusual cold will give way to milder conditions by week’s end.

A major snow event is on the way

One last mild day in the Denver metro region with scattered PM showers and thunderstorms and then much colder air filters into the area late tonight and Tuesday. In fact, a significant snowstorm appears increasingly likely for the period from later tomorrow into Wednesday and there can be several inches of heavy, wet snow causing big-time issues on the roadways…even in the metro region.

**Cooler-than-normal pattern across much of the eastern half of the nation to at least the middle of May...cooler pattern will come with multiple rain opportunities**

Paul Dorian

May gets underway on Friday, and it looks like a cooler-than-normal pattern will dominate in the eastern half of the nation to at least the middle of the new month. Multiple cooler than normal air masses are likely to push into the north-central states from central Canada during those next couple of weeks and these will ultimately spread to the south and east and encompass the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US. A favorable pattern for the transport of cooler-than-normal air masses from Canada into the US will feature a persistent upper-level trough centered near the Great Lakes as well as some “high-latitude blocking” up across northeastern Canada and Greenland. In addition to the expected cooler conditions, multiple rain events are on the table during the next couple of weeks beginning with one from later today into early Thursday which will impact the Mid-Atlantic region.

***Severe weather risk later Monday/Monday Night with a focus on Missouri, Illinois and Indiana...threats to continue into May with an active jet stream and additional cold air outbreaks***

Paul Dorian

A combination of ingredients will come together later today and tonight to enhance the risk of severe weather in the Middle Mississippi Valley region with a focus on the region from Arkansas to Indiana. One of the contributing factors in today’s severe weather threat is an active jet stream that has intensified in recent days across the central and southern US in an atmospheric response to the initial phase of El Nino in the tropical Pacific. The threat of severe weather will shift slightly to the south and east on Tuesday mainly to the Middle and Lower Mississippi Valley regions. In fact, the threat of severe weather will likely continue well into the month of May as additional cold air masses are destined to drop southeastward from central Canada into the northern US. This evolving weather pattern will produce below-normal temperatures across much of the eastern half of the nation from late April into at least the middle of May and multiple rain events are likely to be included from the Rockies to the eastern seaboard.
