Week of October 28

Short Range-
After a nice weekend a high presssure ridge will continue to dominant over Colorado before a weak little disturbance to our north brings cloudiness, cooler temps and a brief shower or two on Wednesday. Thursday looks similar with cooler temps and partial cloudiness.

Long Range-
Looking later in our week ahead, a system still looks like it will bring snow to our area but not as much as predicted late last week. Friday afternoon we can expect to see increasing clouds and colder temperatures with the frontal passage as the snow starts falling leaving 1-3 inches possible by Saturday mid-day. A high pressure will move back in for the rest of the weekend before another weaker system strolls by on Monday leaving a couple inches of snow throughout the day. Taking a glance at the models for the following week, there is a signiture of a major system moving down from Canada and bringing snow to much of Colorado. Right now the models are predicting this system to move in on Friday 11/9 and clear out by late Saturday 11/10. This system appears to dig pretty far south and bring in close to 8 inches of snow for Denver if everything pans out. We'll continue to watch this system as the models develop and become more precise.
