Forecast Discussion:
The front is sweeping down the Front Range this evening, Wednesday. We've had enough rainfall to wet the ground. Hurray!
I'll update briefly in the morning with the rainfall and snowfall reports.
Rainfall update in Figure 1A... Longmont got enough water to make a puddle... well most of us did!
The longer range forecast:
Temperatures go back above normal today and get even warmer beyond that for the next 10 days (Figure 1). There is a small storm passing on Friday and another prolonged unsettled period from Sunday PM to Tuesday... but neither are very wet or cold.
Just for fun - let's look at the GFS and the next 10 days. Figure 2 has Longmont as the pink dot- and it only gives us 1-2". Someone needs to do some sort of mystical snow ritual for us!
