It was just a matter of time…artificial intelligence (AI) has hit the numerical weather prediction world with a strong emphasis on “pattern recognition” and there is no telling where this will lead in the world of weather forecasting. Numerical weather prediction is well suited for AI as - in its current form - it requires a tremendous amount of data crunching and super computing power to resolve the physical laws of fluid dynamics to produce weather conditions in the future. One of the most notable AI advances in recent years has come with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts which is generating experimental AI forecasts that are made available to the public.

High pressure to our north expanded into the region on Sunday following the departure of the storm system that produced lots of rainfall around here on Saturday. This high pressure system will control the weather today, but then an approaching frontal system will bring us the chance of showers by mid-week.
On another note, the moon peaked as full earlier today setting the stage for it to reach its new moon phase in two weeks. This next new moon phase will allow for the conditions needed for the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th, when the moon will be in between the sun and earth and thus block the face of the sun from view.

A strong frontal system will approach the area from our west today helping to generate increasingly strong winds that can gust past 40 mph or so. Showers and thunderstorms are likely tonight and on Tuesday and some of the rain can be heavy and some of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side. The weather will quiet down around here for the mid and late week time periods.

A disturbance that produced snow around here last night can bring us more snow showers this morning and temperatures should be confined to the upper 30’s for afternoon highs. It’ll remain somewhat unsettled during the next couple of days with the possibility of additional snow shower activity. The weather settles down at mid-week and a warming trend brings temperatures back to the 60’s by the end of the week.

The next couple of days will remain on the mild side across Colorado with an upper-level ridge of high pressure still in control. It turns cooler on Sunday as an upper-level trough moves into the region and then colder by the end of the weekend. In fact, accumulating snow will return as a strong possibility in the Denver metro area by Sunday night as low pressure heads this way combined with an influx of colder air.

It stays mild today, but more unsettled with a good chance of afternoon and evening showers. The weekend will start off a bit cooler, but end up rather mild and there should be some sunshine on both days. Showers and thunderstorms will likely become rather widespread late Monday into Tuesday across the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys and we’ll have to monitor the possibility for some severe weather activity.

A heavy rain event is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region as strong low pressure pushes to a position just off the coast by early Saturday. The rain will develop later tonight and continue through much of Saturday, heavy at times, with two to as much as four inches on the table by tomorrow evening… watch for localized flooding. On the backside of the storm, N-NW winds will become very strong from late Saturday into Sunday with gusts to 50 mph possible. Chilly air pushes in for Sunday and persistent winds will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures.
