Discussion

Normal high temperatures in Denver are still in the upper 80’s this time of year and we won’t be too far from that today as we close out the week. While monsoonal moisture will give us the chance for some shower and thunderstorm activity as we close out the week much of the time from today through the weekend should be rain-free.

3:00 PM | Update on Tropical Storm Isaac; should be on alert from the Florida Gulf coast to the central Gulf coast

Discussion

Isaac is now a tropical storm and will continue to intensify over the next couple of days. Latest measurements have the winds sustained at 45 mph with gusts up to 60 as it continues on a westward track at 20 mph. Isaac should reach the vicinity of the island of Hispaniola by Friday likely as a hurricane. Isaac should then continue on a track towards southern Cuba possibly crossing that island over the weekend. This track near or directly over these two islands, Hispaniola and Cuba, should prevent substantial intensification in this late week time period. Climatologically speaking, tropical systems coming from this part of the Caribbean tend to swing either to the east of the Florida Peninsula or to the west. Latest indications to me suggest the western route is more likely. Indeed, once Isaac clears Cuba it could very well move towards the southern Florida Keys and then over the eastern or even central portions of the Gulf of Mexico. Once back over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Isaac will likely begin another intensification phase so all eyes from the Florida Keys to the Florida Gulf coast to the central Gulf coast should continue to closely monitor this situation over the next few days. The expected time frame for Isaac to approach the Florida Keys and the eastern/central Gulf of Mexico is likely next Monday and/or Tuesday. Elsewhere, another tropical depression has formed behind Isaac out in the Atlantic and it is likely to become a named tropical storm (Joyce) within 24 hours and should take a track much farther to the north of Isaac. Ultimately, perhaps by the mid-to-latter part of next week, the remains of Isaac could become a rainmaker for the Mid-Atlantic.

7:00 AM | Very warm for the next couple of days, but nothing extreme

6-Day Forecast

Today

Partly sunny, very warm, maybe a shower or thunderstorm, highs near 90 degrees

Friday

Mainly sunny, very warm, maybe a shower or thunderstorm, mid-to-upper 80’s

Sunday

Mainly sunny, warm, mid-to-upper 80’s

Monday

Mainly sunny, warm, maybe a shower or thunderstorm, upper 80’s

Discussion

There is the chance today for some shower and thunderstorm activity to form as an upper level disturbance passes through the region, and the threat for a shower or thunderstorm will continue through Friday. Temperatures will approach 90 degrees today, but no prolonged extreme heat is in sight.

7:00 AM | Still pleasantly cool along the coast

6-Day Forecast

Today

Early morning clouds, maybe a shower or thunderstorm, followed by gradual clearing, breezy, highs in the low 70’s along the coast

Thursday

Mostly sunny skies after early morning fog, pleasant, highs near 70

Friday

Mostly sunny skies after early morning fog, pleasant, highs in the upper 60’s

Saturday

Mostly sunny skies after early morning fog, pleasant, highs in the upper 60’s

Sunday

Partly sunny skies after some early fog, pleasant, near 70

Monday

Mainly sunny skies after some early fog, pleasant, near 70

Discussion

An upper level trough will move from just off the west coast to an inland position and this will keep temperatures at normal to slightly below normal levels for the remainder the week. High pressure returns later this week and the marine flow will diminish. There does not appear to be much of a monsoonal threat as we close out the week.

7:00 AM | Cool at the coast and warmer inland; chance for a late night or Wednesday morning shower or thunderstorm

6-Day Forecast

Saturday

Sunday

Mostly sunny skies after early morning fog, pleasant, highs in the low 70’s

Discussion

An upper level trough of low pressure will bring us a chance for a shower or thunderstorm from late tonight into early Wednesday. The dry weather pattern will then resume later this week as monsoonal moisture will be cut off from the local area.

Discussion

Highs will jump to the upper 80’s today, and could reach 90 degrees on Wednesday along with plenty of sunshine. Some monsoonal moisture will increase our chances for showers and storms from Wednesday into Saturday. Elsewhere, a new tropical depression has formed (#9) in the Atlantic and this will likely become Tropical Storm Isaac in a relatively short time. All indications are that this system will intensify over the next few days as it moves westward towards the island of Hispaniola by late week. Once past that island, steering winds will likely take this tropical system towards Cuba or South Florida or somewhere in between by early next week.

Discussion

A drying trend will occur to start the new week, but a marine flow will form and that will bring about late night and early morning fog to the coastal regions for much of the week. An upper level trough will move from just off the west coast to an inland position by mid-week and this will keep temperatures at normal to slightly below normal levels for the middle of the week. High pressure returns later this week and the marine flow will diminish.

Discussion

A disturbance in the upper atmosphere could produce a shower or two today and tonight, but drier air will spread across the region on Tuesday. Temperatures will gradually increase over the next few days reaching near 90 degrees by mid-week, but no extreme heat is in sight. The normal high temperature for Denver on this date is 87 degrees. By the end of the week, there may be an influx of monsoonal moisture increasing our chances for showers and thunderstorms.
