Sunny and warmer for the next week

Summary

Sunshine and warmer temperatures will start on Wednesday and continue into early 2024.

Update

Tuesday was mostly cloudy with some snowflakes in the air but little accumulation, and temperatures remained chilly with highs in the single digits to low teens.

Now on Wednesday, the sun will be out and temperatures will slowly warm into the upper teens to low 20s.

The outlook for the next week is for mostly sunny weather, high temperatures in the 20s, light winds, and low to no chances for snow. Our only time of maybe seeing some flakes will be around December 31 and again around January 3, but the systems on both of these days will likely track around and not through Colorado.

In the longer-range, I am watching two potential storms. The first system around Friday, January 5 will likely track to the south of Colorado, and if we are lucky, maybe it'll bring at least some snow. The second system around Monday, January 8 has a higher chance of tracking through Colorado, and this is the storm that will bring a higher chance for significant snow. But this is 13+ days into the future, so forecast confidence is low, and we'll just watch and hope for the best.

For now, enjoy the sunshine.

Thanks for reading!
