Friday looks to be partly cloudy with westerly winds.  A minor system quickly passes us on Saturday morning from the west northwest (with westerly winds).  The American, Canadian, and WRF Models are […]

A system from our west northwest will produce snow from today (Tuesday) afternoon through Thursday morning in the northern mountains of Colorado, which includes our patrol zone.  Although winds are not from a favorable direction for snow for our patrol zone, the combination of a jet streak, spillover effect, and a front are making the […]
