Forecast Discussion:
A quick update as I, once again, prepare to travel home from a trip. Snow is still out of the offing for Longmont today. We may see a few hundredths of an inch of rain (Figure 1). Things will be cold and gusty (even with some warming down slope flow). Normal highs this time of year are now 49F with a normal low of 31F. We won't be far from normal even with 40'sF Sunday and Monday.
The GFS shows us snow-less today (Figure 2) but the mountains will be getting a foot or more in places. Don't travel home in from the West without out checking your path.
The longer range forecast:
We warm a bit above normal for the mid week then cool a lot for next weekend. Snow then? We will see. Happy shopping.
