7:00 AM | Low pressure approaches by mid-week resulting in the threat for showers

6-Day Forecast

Today

Morning dense fog then gradually becoming partly sunny, cool, highs near 60 degrees

Tonight

Mostly cloudy, breezy, mild, some fog late, lows in the low 50’s

Tuesday

Morning low clouds and fog give way to partly cloudy skies, cool, low 60’s

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy early, low clouds and fog late, mild, low 50’s

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy, windy, cool, chance for showers, near 60

Thursday

Becoming partly sunny, cool, low 60’s

Friday

Partly sunny, milder, low 70’s

Saturday

Partly sunny, mild, low 70’s

Discussion

The week will start off cool and dry, but low pressure will approach for the mid-week time period and enhance the chances for rain. All in all, it does not look like a major rain producer, and drier conditions are likely to return during the latter part of the week. A warming trend will take place late in the week and high temperatures should approach 70 degrees by the end of the work week.

Discussion

A shallow marine layer will continue to bring late night and early morning low clouds and fog to the region right through the upcoming weekend and temperatures will stay on the cool side. By early next week the onshore flow will weaken; however, a wetter weather pattern may develop around mid-week with the approach of a Pacific storm system.

Wednesday

Mostly sunny, still mild, low 60’s

Discussion

Today is very likely to be one of the warmest days in months as highs should reach the low-to-mid 70’s across northeast Colorado. While it does turn cooler on Saturday with temperatures generally confined to the 40's, it'll bounce back on Sunday with highs approaching the 60 degree mark once again. Showers will be possible from late tonight through tomorrow night as a cool front moves across the region at the same time a fast-moving jet streak of 90 knots moves overhead. Winds will kick up around here on Sunday with gusts to 40 mph as another trough drops into the region from the Pacific Northwest.

7:00 AM | Persistent pattern of late night and early morning low clouds and fog along coastal locations

6-Day Forecast

Today

Morning dense fog; otherwise, mostly cloudy skies, breezy, cool, highs in the mid 60’s

Tonight

Mostly cloudy, breezy, mild, some fog late, lows in the mid-to-upper 50’s

Friday

Morning fog; otherwise, mostly cloudy skies, cool, highs in the mid 60’s

Sunday

Some fog possible early then becoming partly sunny, cool, near 60

Monday

Some fog possible early then becoming partly sunny, cool, near 60

Tuesday

Some fog possible early then becoming partly sunny, cool, near 60

Discussion

High pressure ridging has weakened over the past 24 hours and this has allowed for the return of onshore flow to the region. As a result, late night and early morning low clouds and fog have returned to coastal locations and this general pattern will continue for the next several days along with cool conditions. Comet PAN-STAARS is still visible in the western sky shortly after sunset if sky conditions permit.

7:00 AM | Temperatures to reach the 60's today and then flirt with the 70 degree mark on Friday

6-Day Forecast

Today

Mostly sunny, warm, highs in the mid 60’s

Tonight

Mostly clear, chilly, lows in the upper 30’s

Friday

Mainly sunny, very warm, near 70

Sunday

Partly sunny, mild, near 60

Monday

Mostly sunny, cooler, mid 50’s

Tuesday

Mostly sunny, not as cool, low 60’s

Discussion

An upper level high pressure ridge will keep the western states rather pleasant for the next few days and our temperatures will soar to the 60’s degrees today and likely near 70 degrees on Friday. In fact, the mild weather will likely continue right through the weekend as well with sunshine expected on both days. On another note, Comet PAN-STAARS is still visible in the western sky shortly after sunset and the sky conditions should be quite favorable over the next few evenings.

Discussion

The overall weather pattern has evolved back into one that favors late night and early morning low clouds and fog along coastal regions and this pattern will keep temperatures at cool levels right through the upcoming weekend. Meanwhile, Comet PAN-STAARS is now visible in the western sky shortly after sunset if sky conditions permit.

Discussion

An upper level high pressure ridge will keep the western states rather pleasant for the next few days and our temperatures will soar to the 60's by tomorrow and could reach 70 degrees on Friday. In fact, the pleasantly mild weather will likely continue right through the weekend as well with sunshine expected on both days. Meanwhile, Comet PAN-STAARS is now visible in the western sky shortly after sunset and the sky conditions should be quite favorable over the next few evenings.

1:10 PM | Comet PAN-STAARS is now viewable as soon as skies cooperate

Discussion

Despite today’s thick deck of clouds and rainfall that is associated with a strong cold front, there is a chance that skies will clear enough by early tonight in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to allow for the viewing of Comet PAN-STAARS in the western sky shortly after sunset. If the comet is not viewable tonight then we’ll have to monitor the cloud cover situation for tomorrow night, but a secondary cold front will make that time somewhat questionable as well in the Mid-Atlantic region with late day clouds and possible showers. It would be nice if the skies would cooperate either tonight or tomorrow night since these two nights will present quite an opportunity for photographers given the fact that the comet will be right near the crescent moon in the western sky shortly after sunset. Thursday evening does promise to have favorable sky conditions although it’ll be quite cold and breezy, and the comet will have moved a bit farther away from the moon by then.

There have been reports that naked eye observation of the comet has been somewhat difficult in the twilight skies so binoculars or small telescopes would certainly be helpful with the viewing. Comet PAN-STAARS should only be visible with the naked eye for another couple of weeks, and perhaps into early April with binoculars and small telescopes. It certainly will be our last opportunity to view this comet as it has a very long elliptical orbit that takes more than 100 million years to complete.

7:00 AM | Nice pattern of temperatures reaching 70+ degrees and plenty of sunshine each day lasts right through the week

6-Day Forecast

Today

Mostly sunny, breezy, mild, highs near 70 degrees

Tonight

Mostly clear, breezy, mild, lows in the mid 50’s

Wednesday

Mostly sunny, pleasant, low 70’s

Wednesday Night

Thursday

Mostly sunny, mild, low 70’s

Friday

Some fog possible early then becoming mostly sunny, mild, near 70

Saturday

Mostly sunny, a bit cooler, mid-to-upper 60’s

Sunday

Mostly sunny, cool, mid 60’s

Discussion

High pressure will keep conditions mostly clear with above normal temperatures through Friday, but the weekend will turn slightly cooler and some late night early morning fog might make an appearance by the end of the week. Meanwhile, Comet PAN-STAARS is now visible in the northern hemisphere and the sky conditions may be quite favorable over the next few evenings to view it in the western sky shortly after sunset.

7:00 AM | Morning snow showers give way to milder conditions; temperatures soar to the 60's for the second half of the week

6-Day Forecast

Today

Variable clouds with some early morning snow shower activity, becoming milder this afternoon, highs in the upper 40's

Tonight

Mostly cloudy, cold, lows in the lower 30’s

Wednesday

Mainly sunny, warm, low 60’s

Wednesday Night

Partly cloudy, chilly, mid 30’s

Friday

Mostly sunny, warm, near 70

Saturday

Mostly sunny, warm, low 60’s

Sunday

Mostly sunny, warm, low 60’s

Discussion

After some early morning snow shower activity, today will turn out milder than yesterday and an upper level high pressure ridge will keep the western states rather pleasant for the next few days. In fact, our temperatures will actually soar to the 60’s for the second half of the week and could even pass the 70 degree mark. The pleasantly mild weather will likely continue into the weekend as well with sunshine expected on both days although highs will likely be closer to 60 degrees than 70. Meanwhile, Comet PAN-STAARS is now visible in the northern hemisphere and the sky conditions may be quite favorable over the next few evenings to view it in the western sky shortly after sunset.
