For the October blizzard of 1997 it wasn’t the aftermath that sticks with me the most. Yes, jumping off the roofs into the snow was epic, but really it was the night before – as the streets of Denver were gradually transformed into an arctic snowscape that sticks with me. It was the anticipation in the days prior leading up to that initial snowflake. It was perhaps for the first time understanding that humans were able to not just predict what would happen, but that these predictions were so profoundly important given the weather’s impact on life.

The amazing thing about the weather is how both predictable and unpredictable it is. The amazing thing about the weather is how many different ways you can fall in love with it. The amazing thing about the weather is it’s both as beautiful as it is powerful, destructive, and heart wrenching. It truly giveth and taketh away, and its impacts are felt by humanity each and every single day – often in ways we may not truly stop to appreciate outside of the occasional extreme event.

Weather5280 has given me an opportunity to share my love for the weather with those I’ve shared a city and state with for so many years of my life. It’s provided me a venue to interact with and learn from others that share a similar passion for this incredible part of all of our existence on earth. It’s also given me an outlet to geek out over data, visualize data, learn software development, and challenge myself to not just accurately predict our ever changing weather, but also to communicate that to others.

Weather5280 came to life during a different era on the internet. One, I’m afraid to say, that in retrospect feels far more “wholesome” than much of what we find today. There was an untapped interest in long-form journalism that I don’t know we have the patience for today in the same way, and frankly there were far fewer options for accessing information, be it weather or otherwise. In the early days of the site we were one of the few doing it. 2008 was the same year that the Washington Post picked up the Capital Weather Gang, and a few years after the start of the Wunderground Weatherblog. Between 2007 and 2009 we saw the first weather apps start to come online as well, but their reach wasn’t anything like what they are today.

Today's weather forecast consumption looks much different. There’s an incredibly large number of sources to choose from, many of which are very good, and the appetite for long-form forecasts has perhaps seen its heyday come and go as well. Easy access to weather data, sharing model imagery, and “hyper local” short term automated forecasts were not a thing 10+ years ago, where now the sharing of and consumption of that data is commonplace, if frequently still misused and misunderstood.

The advent of LLMs and general advances in AI have again started a dramatic transformation once more in how we create and consume weather data and information on the internet. While AI presents a real opportunity for massive leaps forward in weather forecasting, I’m afraid the impact on consumers of weather information, forecasts, and actionable data will see a number of ups and downs through this transition.

The end of the road, for now
Today, after more than 15 years writing about Colorado’s weather, and thousands of posts published dedicated to the cause, we write one last update to say goodbye.

Explaining why may be something of an impossible task. I’ve been searching, but haven’t found the right words to explain it, which is why this post is likely several months overdue. It’s just time is the simplest explanation. Sometimes it’s better to make the incredibly difficult decision to end something when it’s time rather than holding onto something far longer than one should. Like in weather, through life we all pass through different seasons, and this particular season for me has called me away from the attention this project deserves.

What’s next?
The short answer is we'll see. Matt and Brian will both continue to provide numerous weather-related services through their own business for the foreseeable future (if you’re interested in what they are up to, reach out! matt@makensweather.com and brianbledsoewx@gmail.com).

As for me? The first step is taking a step back, but another project or two may be in the works and of course I will share if and when there is something on that front 🙌. If you’re ever interested in getting in touch, talking weather, tech or otherwise, please drop me a line as well: brendan.heberton@gmail.com.

Thank you!
To all the contributors to Weather5280 over the years, THANK YOU. We’ve had so many local and national meteorologists contribute to the site over the years it’s been truly incredible and humbling.

A special thank you to meteorologists Matt Makens and Brian Bledsoe who have been a force in keeping this project alive as long as we have. And of course most recently Luke Victor (@LukeVictorWx) for breathing a fresh bit of life into our content creation on the publishing side of what we do.

Other contributors include: Becky Bolinger – Colorado State Climatologist, Greg Moore – Contributor, Ian Livingston – Contributor, CWG, Jason Fox – Editor, Josh Larson – Contributor, Laura Smith – Guest Contributor, Matt Lanza – Meteorologist, Space City Weather, Noah Brauer – Ph.D. Meteorology, Sam Ng – Meteorologist, MSU Denver, Thomas Horner – Guest Contributor, Highpoint Weather.

Finally I want to personally thank all of our readers over the years. It’s been an absolutely incredible ride, and I’m so grateful to have so many of you along for it each and every season. With thousands of email subscribers, and many more of you joining us on Twitter, Facebook, RSS and beyond, it’s of course too much to thank you each personally, but please hear me in my gratitude. Thank YOU, the readers who have inspired, interacted, and shared your love of weather with us over all these years.

Before we go, we have two last requests for you.

We would LOVE if you’d take a moment to share your fondest weather memories with us in the comments below as we close this chapter together.

We also have put together this quick survey if you have a few moments in taking a few moments to fill it out this would be greatly appreciated.

So long for now –
Brendan and the entire Weather5280 team

You can pretty clearly see the WPC forecast favoring a marginal risk for flash flooding Today, Tuesday and Wednesday. This includes all of the front range, and west into the foothills and continental divide.

I've dropped in the HRRR projection for Monday and Tuesday afternoon rain coverage. As of Monday morning, it looks like Tuesday's wave will have a bit more coverage and intensity.

All that being said, isolated or not, if you do manage to get under one of these storms, expect some rounds of heavy rainfall and plenty of lightning.

Because we'll be in this monsoonal flow, expect temps to be toasty, but not a lasting scorcher like we've seen the last few years– and that continues the theme for 2025: really no major heatwaves... and for now, that doesn't look to change. Below are the potential highs according to the EURO:

Definitely hot some day, but some pretty notable relief on either end of the warmups.

The reason for the lack of brutal summer heat? Well, the large scale setup just hasn't favored it. Below is what most of the last 30-45 days have featured: increased troughing in the Eastern Pacific/West coast of the US. That pattern along with a strong Ohio Valley ridge have kept us out of the bullseye of heat, and more locked into a monsoonal flow pattern.

While this wet pattern has generally favored the Front Range, we've also seen a slowing of the expansion of drought over the Western Slope. Don't get us wrong: it's still not great out west, BUT, we haven't seen much change in the wrong direction out there.

If there is SOME silver lining here, the lack of our summer high pressure overhead and continued monsoon flow have likely SLOWED progression of the wildfires that have sparked over Western Colorado. We could have seen a much different scenario if that high had been parked overhead the last month and a half. This also speaks to the good moisture the western slope saw over the winter as well.

Anyways – probably rambled a bit too much on this one. Hope y'all have a good week and we'll let you know if any updates need to be made for the storms the next few days. Hopefully everyone gets some beneficial moisture.

That's video Douglas County Sheriff posted on social media, after a possible landspout tornado caused damage in the town.

https://x.com/NWSBoulder/status/1944859465775239587

The storm managed to get a Special Weather Statement with a landspout tag. We're expecting to get some official word from the NWS on this at some point.

We may see a couple rounds of gusty showers on Tuesday, but the the heat should stave off storm potential for the most part. Below are potential high temps according to HRRR data. You can see plenty of mid-90s for the Denver Metro with 90s and temps near 100 for much of southeast Colorado.

We're on tap for a pretty significant pattern flip as we go into the end of the week. A lingering Baja low, plus a bulging southeast ridge, all in combination with a passing trough should all combine to bring widespread monsoonal storms on Wednesday. This will also yield another nice cooldown for us!

A few storms on Wednesday could end up severe, but mostly it would be beneficial rain for the higher terrain and east along the Front Range. This pattern looks to have some staying power as well... much of the mid-to-long range data indicates prolonged western US troughing, and that southeast ridge supporting moisture transport into Colorado.

This also means we could see a few more of these of these cooldowns between now and the end of the month! No complaining here!

This is your typical summer pattern, so there's not a whole lot else to go over. We'll likely work on another update for you for Wednesday to dig into a bit more detail on storm trends.

Have a good one folks!

Luke

In detail: After a warm and increasingly cloudy Friday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to roll off the foothills into the Denver area by mid to late afternoon. Some storms could produce heavy rain and localized flash flooding, particularly from the foothills out onto the plains. Showers may linger into the evening before tapering off overnight.

Although the higher risk of severe storms is to the northeast of the metro area, the chances of getting a thunderstorm is highest along the Front Range Mountains and into Colorado Springs.

Saturday brings another round of afternoon storms, although coverage looks a bit more limited than Friday. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 80s. Plan for some passing storms after lunchtime, mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours.

Sunday looks to be the driest and warmest day of the weekend, with highs climbing into the low to mid 90s. Only a few isolated storms are possible, mostly confined to the mountains. It should be a great day for outdoor plans across the metro area.

Looking ahead, storm chances return next week, particularly from Tuesday through Thursday. Monday looks relatively dry and warm before more widespread afternoon storms develop midweek. Temperatures will trend near or slightly below average for much of next week.

Planning Tips:

• Friday: Storms likely after 3 PM, could affect your evening plans.
• Saturday: Fewer storms, but still possible in the afternoon.
• Sunday: Warm and mostly dry, pretty good for outdoor activities.
• Next week: More storms (potential for heavy rainfall), especially midweek; stay weather-aware.

In detail: Thursday is off to a warm start, and we may see a brief break in the cloud cover this morning. However, as we head into the late morning and early afternoon, expect scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop—especially over the mountains and along the I-25 corridor.

The biggest concern today is strong outflow winds, with most areas likely to see gusts between 30 and 50 mph. A few stronger cells could produce gusts as high as 65 mph. Rainfall may be briefly moderate to heavy, but totals will generally stay under a quarter inch. Most storms will taper off early in the evening.

Critical fire weather conditions are in place today for much of western/southwestern Colorado due to the gusty winds and dry conditions.

Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, we expect a better chance for late-day showers and thunderstorms. Highs will drop into the 80s, and storm coverage should be more widespread, especially Friday afternoon through the evening. Saturday follows a similar pattern, with afternoon storms possible once again.

Sunday looks drier and hotter, with sunshine and highs back in the low 90s. Plan for unsettled weather the next couple of days, especially in the afternoons, and stay alert for strong wind gusts with any storm that rolls through.

This ridging extends into southern Canada, with a few areas of unsettled weather of note across parts of the central US and northwest coast of California.

This looks about as classic of a summer weather pattern as you can get with the main storm track way up in central British Columbia.

While this type of pattern can lock in for several days at a time, there does seem to be a chance to break this pattern up over the next 7-10 days.

Below we have the potential high temp charts – we're going to roll with a nice wave of summer heat through at least Thursday or Friday. The jury is out on how much weather we can squeeze out of Saturday's system.

We look to kick the atmosphere around beyond that with some up and down temp swings into the middle of next week. Below is a look at the pattern going into Friday and Saturday.

IF that set up pans out, it probably kicks a cold front south by Friday evening, yielding a nice break from the heat throughout Saturday. We may even need to worry about thunderstorm chances between Friday and Saturday too.

For now though, we'll need a day or two to parse those details. Unfortunately, with a predominantly ridge-heavy weather pattern for at least the next 10 days, we likely fall behind a bit on moisture for much of the state. This will have to be watched closely as we have seen extreme drought develop across the Western Slope.

Any potential for dry lightning could be the spark for timber wildfire activity to pick up... this is about the time of year for that threat to pick up... another thing we'll have to monitor closely.

Hope you folks have a good week– we'll shoot another update out before the end of the week if we need it for Friday and Saturday.

Luke

Looking at a wide view, we don't see a really dominant "summer" type weather pattern for most of the lower-48. Some weak troughing giving us the unsettled weather this weekend across the west, some ridging near the Great Lakes, and a fast moving trough over the Northeast.

Spotty storms are expected throughout the first half of Friday afternoon... we should see things taper off around and after dinnertime.

More of the same is expected on Saturday with highs reaching the 80s and low 90s for most folks. Expect some afternoon clouds to help tamper the harsh sunshine at times. Other than that, a typical summery afternoon on Saturday is expected too.

Another day of warm weather and spotty afternoon storms possible on Sunday. Mainly 80s & 90s.

Beyond that, we begin to see a pretty stout ridge attempt to develop early next week. This should get our temps back above normal. The EURO is pretty aggressive with respect to warming over the next 7-10 days with this ridging setting up. Temp charts are below... I'll give you a chance to breath before seeing them... 😬

Yeah... uhh... let's hope that's overdone a bit. Have the potential to be in for one of our biggest heatwaves in a while if that ends up panning out!

Trying to keep this one short as many of you are probably busy, but just wanted to get a quick weekend update in for those who are planning.

Have a good one folks and enjoy the holiday!

Luke

In detail: We're in for more hot weather across the Denver area today, with highs climbing into the mid-90s under sunny skies.

A few isolated thunderstorms may develop over the mountains and foothills by midday and could drift onto the plains by late afternoon. These storms will be spotty, but if one rolls through your area, expect gusty winds up to 50 mph, and a stronger storm over the northeast plains could push gusts even higher.

By Thursday, we see a shift. Moisture increases across the state, bringing a better chance for scattered afternoon and evening storms. Storms could become strong at times, with gusty winds and brief downpours. This uptick in activity continues into Thursday night.

Looking ahead to the Fourth of July, forecast confidence is still a bit mixed. Most models show storm chances dropping off by evening, which would be good news for fireworks plans. Still, there's a decent chance of showers and storms during the afternoon, especially along and east of I-25. Temperatures will be a bit cooler, with highs near 90.

Expect typical July weather for the weekend: warm afternoons and a few scattered storms, especially after lunchtime. Keep an eye on the sky if you’re heading outside in the afternoons and evenings, especially in the foothills or along the I-25 corridor.

Storms could begin developing as early as 2 to 3 PM, with activity increasing through the late afternoon commute. While not every area will see severe weather, any storms that do develop could become strong quickly. Some models suggest storms may struggle to move far east of I-25, but others show potential for strong storms moving into the far eastern plains later this evening.

There is also a chance for some overnight thunderstorms, mainly between 2 and 6 AM, especially closer to the Wyoming and Nebraska borders. These storms would be more isolated but could still carry some strength if enough instability remains.

Monday will be cooler with highs near 80 in Denver. A few afternoon storms are possible, particularly across the southern foothills and into Park County, where some areas could pick up over an inch of rain. Tuesday and Wednesday warm up, with mostly dry conditions expected except for a few isolated mountain storms.

Looking ahead to the 4th of July, plan for scattered to possibly widespread thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.

Moisture will be on the increase, and rain chances may ramp up just in time for fireworks plans.

In detail: After a stormy Tuesday across parts of Colorado, Wednesday will bring another round of scattered thunderstorms to the region, including the Denver metro area. Storms are expected to develop over the mountains late morning and move into the plains by early afternoon. The main window for storms in Denver looks to be between Noon and 5 PM.

While most storms will bring brief heavy rain and lightning, a few could become strong to severe, especially east of I-25. If you're out and about this afternoon, be aware of the potential for hail up to 1 inch and gusty winds up to 60 mph. The highest risk for severe weather stretches into the southeastern plains later in the day. Keep an eye on the sky and have a way to receive alerts if you're out during the drive home.

Wednesday evening should see storms winding down from west to east, with quieter conditions overnight. Fog may develop early Thursday morning on the plains, but that will clear as the day progresses.

Looking ahead, a much quieter pattern takes hold from Thursday through the weekend. Expect mostly sunny skies, gradually warming temperatures, and only isolated late-day storms. Highs will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s by the weekend—great weather for any outdoor plans.

Stay weather aware this afternoon, then get ready to enjoy some classic Colorado summer warmth!

In detail: Get ready for an active weather afternoon across eastern Colorado, especially for those along and east of the I-25 corridor. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop early this afternoon and move east through the evening hours.

Storms will begin popping up along the Front Range between 1 and 2 PM, with the main severe threat for the Denver metro area likely between 2 PM and 5 PM. For areas farther east on the plains, storms will push through between 4 PM and 8 PM. Be ready for rapidly changing weather during the afternoon drive.

The biggest concerns today are large hail, with some stones possibly reaching 2 inches in diameter, and damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph. There's also a chance for heavy rain leading to localized flooding, especially across the eastern plains. A tornado or two can't be ruled out either, though the risk is more isolated.

Wednesday keeps a chance for more scattered storms, mainly during the afternoon, but the severe threat looks lower. Drier and warmer weather will take over Thursday through the weekend, with only isolated storms popping up late in the day.

With today's threats in mind, it's a good idea to park vehicles in a garage if possible and stay weather-aware throughout the afternoon. Make sure you have a way to receive alerts, especially if you have outdoor plans later today.

Still, we can count those as a few of the maybe 30 to 40 legit pool days we get each year here along the Front Range. Hopefully you got some time by the water.

Cooler pool time the next few days...almost early-fall-like weather on tap. Pretty neat look at the cold front from Sunday night responsible for the temp tumble starting Monday. You can see the leading edge of the front toward the bottom arcing line and the brighter colors "on top" of that line was the dust and smoke that followed the front.

The front also brought in just enough low-level moisture to spark off some intense storms along and north I-76 Sunday night too:

The cooldown will be pretty noticeable tomorrow –

We'll just have to monitor exactly how warm those temperatures get Monday, especially across the Denver Metro. There will be enough moisture to tap into, that if we get into the upper 70s and low 80s, we probably see a storm or two pop that could become strong to severe.

We'll have a pretty good shot at widespread storms over the southeast plains of the state. Hail and strong winds would be the main threats.

Beyond that, Tuesday brings another slightly below-average day temperature-wise, before a more significant plume of moisture begins to lift north into Colorado.
This looks to be our first round of monsoon-style thunderstorm activity, with moisture streaming in all the way from southwest Mexico.

We'll likely see numerous storms, especially further east of I-25. Flash flooding, hail and wind would be our main threats to watch out for. We look to stay near or below average Wednesday with more thunderstorm chances.

Beyond that, it will probably take up to next weekend to get temps feeling summer-y again, but hey, you don't hear us complaining.

The rollercoaster looks to continue over the next 7-10 days... We'll keep you posted.

Luke

Ok, now that we've got that out of the way... what's on the ballot the next few days?

Record heat, significant mountain fire danger and a break from the rain. It's good news (mostly for the east side of the Rockies) that we've seen such beneficial moisture the last 60 days, or the fire danger would likely be high for the front range as well.

Don't get us wrong, fire risk is always a risk in the high desert, but not off the charts this weekend. A bit more concerned for the mountains and western slope as a strong trough will develop over the northwest US, causing the winds to crank in the high terrain.

High-res data is trying to DIA to 99 Friday afternoon which would tie a 2017 record. Meanwhile for Saturday it's a touch less hot with temps in the mid-to-upper 90s. No matter which way you slice it, record or not; it's that spicy, sizzling summer heat ahead for the next several days.

EURO data is even more generous, with a 100 for DIA and Stapleton on Friday.

We stick with the heat on Sunday as well.

However – there's a dynamic weather story to go along with this! That big trough over the northwest is going to have a lot of "pull" with it. In time, by early next week, we should see our first big slug of monsoon moisture ATTEMP to be pulled up along the Front Range and Continental Divide. For now, the biggest moisture amounts look like they'd be over New Mexico.

For those who aren't ready for the full blast of summer, there's some good news to be had. Beyond this weekend's heat, there's really no clear re-establishment of ridge of high pressure. Much like what we've seen over the past 30-60 days, it seems like we'll see some weak ripples of low pressure to break things up every few days, potentially keeping major heat waves in check.

The problem would be the dry timber regions... the possibility of dry lightning sparking mountain fires may be something to keep a keen eye on, especially if the monsoon doesn't want to be a big producer for Colorado.

The 5-day avg 500mb charts per the EPS show the prolonged troughing over the west coast, with all the major heat centering up over the Ohio Valley and the Northeast.

Hey, we'll take that. Those types of upper-level setups keep us on the warm, but not hot side... the good kinda summer weather.

I suppose we'll see how this all shakes out as we close out June, but for now, all about the heat this weekend. Stay safe and cool out there!

Luke

In detail: After a rare round of overnight thunderstorms, including some severe storms, we’re in for another active afternoon across eastern Colorado. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is already in effect through 5 PM, covering much of the I-25 corridor, including Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs.

Today’s storms could begin as early as noon, especially from Denver northward. They’ll likely become more widespread through the early afternoon before quickly pushing east by the evening commute. Expect the most intense activity to be over by 6 PM. The main threats will be large hail and damaging wind gusts, with wind being the greater concern as storms organize into line segments east of I-25. Does your office building have a garage? If not, maybe go sit in a carwash...

Rain is likely for most of the area, and we’ll feel noticeably cooler today—a break from the recent heat. Highs will hover in the 70s for many spots.

Looking ahead, that cooldown won’t last. Starting Wednesday, temperatures begin to climb again, with record heat possible by Friday. Highs could soar into the upper 90s to near 100 degrees, especially across lower elevations. The heat could also bring critical fire weather conditions later in the week as dry air and gusty winds return.

We’ll keep you posted on how today’s storms develop and have more details on the heat wave as we get closer.

Storms should be pretty few and far between today, with the best chances later this evening over the northeast part of the state. Biggest story this afternoon is another round of heat.

Here's potential temperatures around 2-3pm this afternoon. Plenty of heat to go around! That doesn't hold though as we move into Tuesday and Wednesday.

A weak disturbance will cut down some of the western ridge on Tuesday/Wednesday – you can see that little area of blue below indicating a very weak trough moving across the northern rockies, settling into the central plains.

This system doesn't have much "oomf" to work with, but there will be plenty of heat and humidity to fuel storms, especially east of Colorado.

Our best chance for storms looks to be Tuesday evening as the trough ejects east. You'll see the larger complex of storms looks to be focused over the Nebraska panhandle, but we will likely see storms stretch as far south as Colorado Springs. There should be enough ingredients in the atmosphere to sustain a couple strong to severe storms. We'll have to watch out for that potential closely – best shot as that would be further northeast in the state.

After the slight cooldown on Tuesday and Wednesday, get ready... A very stout ridge looks to build in starting Thursday, and this would likely bring us our hottest weather of the year so far. How hot you may be asking?

Uh. Yeah, I hope not. Maybe the EURO is over shooting by a few degrees. Even then, several 100° days could be in the mix by this upcoming weekend. Right on time with the official start of Summer on Friday.

Looking way off into the great beyond, after next weekend, it seems like we could be right back into the cool and stormy pattern as a fairly significant Pacific storm moves onshore. That storm has looked like it could produce significant snow for the Idaho, Montana and the Canadian Rockies.

A couple cold fronts and some storm chances is the best it looks like it would do for the front range, but it means we could get a several days break from the heat.

So... we're definitely picking things up... we'll let you know if there are any new changes in the days ahead!

Luke

In detail: We’re heading into a hot and mostly dry stretch of weather, but first, we’ll need to watch for a few thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening.

Friday:
After lunch, scattered clouds will increase across the Denver area. While most of the metro will stay dry, a few gusty showers or storms could develop during the mid to late afternoon. The best chance for stronger storms—capable of producing hail and damaging wind—will be east of Denver, especially after 4 PM in areas like Greeley, Fort Morgan, and Limon. Expect things to quiet down by 10 PM.

Friday night:
Clouds will clear out overnight, with comfortable lows near 60.

Saturday:
A sunny and hot day ahead. Morning plans will be dry and calm, and highs will push into the low 90s by early afternoon. Winds may pick up a bit after lunch but nothing too strong. A great day for outdoor activities with very low storm threat in the Denver area.

Saturday night:
Clear skies continue, and temperatures cool into the low 60s overnight.

Sunday:
Similar to Saturday—plenty of sun and very warm, with highs again in the low to mid 90s. A light breeze will kick up by mid-afternoon. Storms may form again over far northeast Colorado late in the day, but the Denver area likely stays dry unless some rogue storm defies us...

Mountain Forecast:
It’ll be a hot and dry weekend in the mountains, with temperatures running 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Afternoon breezes will increase Saturday and Sunday, especially north of I-70, raising fire danger across the high country. While no Red Flag Warnings are posted yet, conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread in dry areas. Expect warm, windy afternoons and cool, clear nights through early next week.

Looking ahead:
Monday stays hot and dry. By Tuesday and Wednesday, a weak system may bring a few storms back to the forecast and drop temperatures into the 80s, offering a brief break from the heat.

In detail: Sunday kicks off with a cooler and partly sunny day across the Front Range, including the Denver metro area. While the morning will stay quiet, by mid to late afternoon—especially after 2 p.m.—we’ll see a chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms.

A few storms may become strong, especially near the foothills and Palmer Divide, bringing gusty winds and possibly small hail. Most activity should wind down by midnight.

Monday looks mostly dry and comfortable, with sunshine and highs climbing into the upper 70s. While a few isolated storms could develop over the mountains and drift southeast—particularly south of I-70—most of the metro area will stay dry through the day and evening.

By Tuesday, temperatures start to rise as we head into a warmer stretch. Highs will push into the mid 80s, with only limited storm chances mainly confined to the mountains. This pattern continues through Friday, with a few afternoon storms each day, but generally low chances for widespread rain across the plains.

Looking ahead to next weekend, a summer-like ridge begins to build in. That means hotter, drier weather is on the way, with highs near or just above 90° likely for the Denver area and along the I-25 corridor. You may need to increase the water frequency this week, we will be drying out a bit with that summer-like heat. Here are estimated rainfall totals through the next seven days:

Have a great week, we will keep you posted on anything noteworthy to expect in the days ahead. Enjoy the day!

There's been some warmer days, there's been some cooler days, heck, there's even been some severe weather – but outside of the Elbert County tornado on May 18, it's been tough to find other standout weather.

That's not always a bad thing! Freakish hail events, May blizzards, heat waves... the list can go on and on this time of year.

So what do we have coming out way this week?

This is the main weather pattern as we go into Monday and Tuesday this week. A few things to note – the H over the Pacific, which is locking in the coolest air to our north. This persistent ridging has left Colorado in a predominantly northwest flow pattern. That can commonly lead to daily afternoon shower and storm chances like we've seen much of this week, especially around the Palmer Divide and southeast Colorado.

Some changes work in with the two upper level lows on that map. Those two systems will swing by over the next 3-4 days, and that should assist in bringing cooler than average temps, and steadier rain chances for a larger portion of the stay, especially on Monday into Tuesday. Initially on Monday, expect it to be warm and breezy, likely seeing 70s and 80s for much of the front range.

This will be as the low passes overhead and a cold front swings through at the surface. We should see our most widespread rain pick up around sunset Monday and continue through the Tuesday morning commute.

There's been some back and forth with respect to HOW MUCH rain might fall. Earlier this weekend it seemed that heavier amounts might prevail, but latest modeling has backed off a touch... We'll have to watch the progression of this system closely, but for now, meaningful moisture is still on the table. We'll also have to be on the lookout for some nocturnal severe weather with this set up, so make sure you have a way to get alerts Monday night – hail and damaging wind would likely be the biggest threats, especially east of I-25.

Another wave kicks by sometime between Wednesday and Thursday and that should add to precip we see for the week.

The next 6 days look promising with respect to some of the ensemble data. Widespread 1" rainfall is possible for most of the front range between now and next Saturday. With convection likely under these showers and storms, localized heavier amounts aren't out of the question!

The next story: Temperatures. Big time swing as these cutoff lows move in, with 50s and 60s being the norm. We may even be able to squeeze out some mountain snowfall too!

Overall this pattern should help keep eastern Colorado from developing drought through the first half of June... but you can already see what could be creeping in from out west. Once the summer ridge builds in, which looks to get strong mid-to-late month, mountain wildfires could become a concern.

For now, though, mostly good-ish news. We'll let you know if there are any changes.

Luke

In Detail: Memorial Day is shaping up to be cool and damp across the Denver metro area and much of the Front Range. After some early patchy fog, expect showers to become more widespread by midday, with a few thunderstorms possible during the afternoon and evening. Highs will only reach the mid-60s, making it a cooler-than-normal holiday. If you’re planning outdoor activities, aim for the morning or early lunch hours before the rain picks up.

Showers will taper off by late evening, though a few showers could linger through midnight. Patchy fog may redevelop overnight, with lows dropping into the mid-40s.

Tuesday brings a bit of a break from the rain, especially early in the day. Some sunshine and warmer temperatures are expected, with highs near the mid-70s. That said, scattered afternoon storms could return, mainly after lunchtime and into the evening—so don’t put away the umbrella just yet.

This midweek pattern continues through Wednesday and Thursday, with daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely. Wednesday stays cooler, with highs around 70, while Thursday will be a bit warmer. By Friday, temperatures could reach the low 80s, but afternoon storms are still in the mix.

While severe weather isn’t expected to be widespread Memorial Day, a few stronger storms with hail around an inch are possible, especially along the Palmer Divide and eastern plains.

There will be additional chances for severe weather as the week goes on, we will let you know if any risk day appears to be notably higher.

Stay weather-aware this week, especially during afternoon and evening plans!

A very weak, and sort of nebulous weather pattern looks to set up shop this weekend. At this point, our most affected days look like Sunday and Monday.

As you can see on the maps above, the 500mb charts aren't even really showing a significant storm system, but just enough (what I like to call) "junk" in the atmosphere to spin up some showers and thunderstorms. Along with that, we'll see some cooler than average temperatures this weekend too.

Below is a look at potential shower and storm coverage for Saturday, Sunday and Monday afternoon/evenings.

As you can see, we're working with our most widespread coverage on Sunday and Monday – those days could potentially washout outdoor plans, and along with that we could see much cooler temperatures.

Let's be thinking highs in the 60s... more clouds than sun... off and on rainy and sorta gloomy. I think that will be especially true Monday, Memorial Day, following the passage of a cool front. Here's a look at potential temperatures below for Denver the next week and a half.

This would be beneficial moisture though... as we know this spring season has not been the kindest in terms of water around here – outside of the early May soaker, we've been relatively shut out. The GFS and European seem to be in fairly good agreement on northeast Colorado pushing out some good water. Even southern Colorado has a shot at 1/2 to 1" of rainfall over the next 5 days. Much drier across the western half of the state.

Above is a look at the ensemble data from the European – not too shabby for late May and no real appreciable storm reflection in the upper levels.

Will this be a total washout this weekend? Probably not. BUT, these storms, likely driven by the heating of the day would likely become more numerous each afternoon. Outdoor plans might be best kept in the mornings... while keeping a sharp eye on weather information throughout the day, and a back up plan if you're plans do take you outside in the afternoon/evenings just in case.

For Saturday and Sunday, you can see how the chances for rain peak:

Some of these storms could be on the severe side, especially if we can get some decent sunshine pre-thunderstorm activity. Gusty winds, hail, lightning and very heavy rainfall would be the biggest threats. Most of the widespread severe weather threat (outside of the severe storms across the far Eastern Plains of Colorado this evening) should stay east of the state over the weekend, but never rule out a storm turning severe this time of year. Stay weather aware!

Overall, not the perfect Memorial Day Weekend... but hey, at least it's not snow? ... 🫣

Anyways, enjoy the weekend folks, enjoy whoever you're spending time with, and we'll let you know if there are any more updates.

Details: After a cool and unsettled weekend (see some of the tornado pictures below!), Monday brings more scattered afternoon showers and a couple of isolated thunderstorms, especially south of I-76 and along the Palmer Divide. These will be mostly light, with little risk of severe storms, but keep an eye out during your afternoon plans—especially after lunch and into the early evening.

A few Sunday tornado pics:

Today's risk of severe weather is highest over the southeastern corner of the state.

Skies will clear overnight, and by Tuesday we're back to sunnier skies and warmer temperatures. Gardeners beware, we do have the potential for frost on the Palmer Divide as skies clear off tonight:

Highs will climb into the low 70s Tuesday and near 80 by midweek. The mornings will still be on the cool side, with overnight lows in the 40s. Winds could be a bit gusty at times, especially in the afternoons.

The dry and warm trend continues through Friday, with pleasant conditions for any outdoor plans during the workweek. Highs in the low to mid-80s will feel more like early summer, especially on the plains.

Looking ahead to the weekend, there’s a small chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms returning Saturday and Sunday. Right now, coverage looks limited, but we’ll keep an eye on how that evolves.

Overall, it’s a nice stretch of spring weather after today’s lingering showers—time to dust off those sunglasses! 😎

This front also featured a quick round of showers and thunderstorms for northeast Colorado... to go along with that 40-50 mph gusty winds for many. Quite the raw and uncomfortable evening to say the least.

For today we'll see mainly 60s and 70s – and a bit of a breeze will remain. Some lingering mountain snow showers will taper off by later in the day. We'll touch up temperatures a bit more on Friday and Saturday. By Saturday afternoon, we begin to get under the influence of our next storm system. That front edge could bring enough mojo with it to spark off some showers/storms Saturday afternoon.

We look to have more solid storm chances on Sunday as the main upper-level wave begins to kick further east into Colorado. There's still some uncertainty in terms of the track/strength of this system... but generally it looks to take a quick swipe... nothing like the slow mover with saw earlier this month. Could we see some changes? Potentially... but the pattern looks to favor moving, rather than grooving with these storms right now.

The EURO is pretty stingy with it's moisture across northeast Colorado... but as the system begins to eject into the plains, it begins to get it's act together over Nebraska – that area certainly looks favored at this time. We should see some mountain snowfall too.

Unfortunately, with the storm system passing through, the WIND is going itself known. 30-45 mph wind gusts kick back up headed into Saturday, but especially Sunday – ho hum... Any hope later this month? Can't say so. We're also getting to the point where these organized storm systems will become fewer and farther between.

At this point, our next major pattern shift for moisture might have to be the monsoon... but that's for a later post. Hope y'all have a good end of the week and good weekend. We'll let you know if there are any updates for the upcoming storm!

After a 'hot' Tuesday, a cold front Wednesday brings cooler temperatures and slight storm chances to the Denver area, with possible weekend showers ahead.

In detail:

In the next 48 hours
After a toasty Tuesday across the Front Range, with highs pushing into the upper 80s and possibly hitting 90 — especially on the plains — we’ll start to see some changes in our weather pattern midweek. Denver's record high for today is 90 in 1915, and 84 in 1941 for Colorado Springs where a breezy high of near 82 is expected today.

Wednesday brings a noticeable shift. A cold front will slide through during the afternoon, bringing cooler temperatures and gustier winds. Expect highs to top out in the mid-70s, with clouds increasing by lunchtime.

Here is a look at the hourly temperatures:

There’s a slight chance for a few showers or thunderstorms later Wednesday, mainly after 3 p.m., especially north and east of Denver. Any storms that do form could produce brief wind gusts, particularly over the northern plains.

Here is a look at the hourly precipitation chances:

For the late week and weekend

Thursday continues the relatively cooler trend with highs around 70. Another slight chance of afternoon showers or a weak thunderstorm could pop up, but most of us will stay dry. Winds will be a bit breezy again.

Temperatures for the week:

Friday and Saturday look pleasant, with temperatures gradually warming back into the low to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. Just a small chance for a stray afternoon shower or storm Friday, but overall it's looking great for outdoor plans.

Precipitation chances for the week:

By Sunday into Monday, a more unsettled pattern may return. We'll see a better chance for scattered showers and a few thunderstorms both days, with highs in the 70s. Keep an eye on the forecast if you have Sunday plans.

Around Colorado

Strong southwest winds are expected today, with gusts up to 50 mph in valleys and across southern Colorado, especially in the San Luis Valley and southern I-25 corridor. Wind Advisories are in effect, and where vegetation is dry, localized critical fire weather conditions are possible. Temperatures will run 10–15 degrees above normal.

Wednesday and Thursday will bring a cooldown, along with mountain rain and snow showers—mostly above 10,000 feet, with less than six inches of accumulation expected. Fire weather conditions remain a concern into Saturday due to gusty winds. Each afternoon from Wednesday through Saturday may see isolated showers or storms, particularly in the Central Mountains. A more unsettled and wetter pattern is likely to develop starting late Sunday into early next week.

At Denver International Airport roughly 1.0" of rain was recorded, with upwards of 1.5" of precipitation for many areas along and west of I-25! Across the forever-dry Southeast Plains, widespread totals of 1 - 2" of rain – amazing.

Snowfall totals were equally impressive, with some locations picking up more than two feet of snow this week!

A warming trend...
Snowfall will be hard to come by in the coming days as temperatures will soar into the mid 80s for the metro areas. For Denver, highs on Monday and Tuesday will be near record setting for the dates, before we cool off for the latter half of the week.

Will we see record heat? Perhaps not, but it'll be close. The NWS has a high of 87°F for Denver on Tuesday, with the record for the date being 90°F set back in 1915. The record high for Wednesday is 87°F, but it looks like we should cool a few degrees by Wednesday afternoon.

As for precipitation... it looks mostly quiet over the coming days. We'll see about a 20% chance for a few popup showers or thunderstorms on Sunday before turning mostly dry across the region Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday storm chances increase a bit again once more as temperatures cool back into the 70s.

Happy Mother's Day! We hope you have a good weekend, and stay... cool!

Gusty southeasterly winds will also accompany today's activity.

Rain will be more persistent in the mountains, where cooler temperatures could bring slushy conditions over the higher passes later today. For those with travel plans, here’s a look at the winter-type travel impact map highlighting potential trouble spots.

The core of this storm system arrives late tonight and peaks Tuesday. Expect rain to become widespread and heavier by Tuesday afternoon and evening. While lower elevations—including the I-25 corridor—will see a soaking rain (possibly over an inch in spots), snow levels will drop to around 7,000 feet. Above 8,000 feet, snow will pile up quickly.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the higher elevations of the Front Range, including Rocky Mountain National Park, the Indian Peaks, and areas near the Eisenhower Tunnel. These areas could see 12 to 22 inches of heavy, wet snow by late Tuesday night. Travel in the mountains could become difficult during both the late morning and evening commutes Tuesday.

Here's possible snowfall, note the highlights for the Front Range Mountains and parts of the Divide. The San Juans will also have some hefty snowfall.

No, Denver is a bit too warm for a snowy impact this time, but parts of the Palmer Divide could see snow. Regardless of the froze stuff, there's a lot of water to cover Colorado in the next few days:

By Wednesday, rain and snow will gradually taper off, with drier conditions returning by evening. Sunshine and warmer temperatures return Thursday through the weekend, but daily chances for isolated afternoon storms will linger—especially over the mountains. Expect a warm-up heading into Mother’s Day weekend.

A significant area of low pressure is expected to move into the four corners starting Sunday night, bringing impacts to Colorado potentially through Wednesday morning.

While this spring was fairly tame with respect to these types of systems, turning the page into May looks to be pulling no punches!

Let's time out these storm system, as it looks to come through in two main waves.

WAVE #1 – Late Sunday night through Monday evening

For now, Sunday morning is looking dry for most of the state. By Sunday afternoon and evening, mountain rain and snow showers will start to fire with the heating of the day. Don't expect a whole lot initially... most of it will be isolated.

As we progress into Sunday night, showers will become more numerous, and eventually more focused across eastern Colorado. Moisture looks especially promising for southeast Colorado during wave one.

In terms of moisture amounts, Wave #1 could be significant for some along the I-25 corridor. Here is the 24 hours precipitation forecast from the Euro ending early Tuesday morning, with 0.5" to over 1" of QPF forecast by this model from Fort Collins south through Colorado Springs:

With low level winds focused out of the southeast most of Monday, that puts the Pikes Peak Region under the most significant upslope potential. As seen in the map above, El Paso County could be our big winner initially.

Higher elevation locations have the chance to see some moderate snow, especially in the foothills and the southern mountains, but even a bit of snow or mixed precipitation across the Palmer Divide is possible:

Looking at the bigger picture – Wave 1 is likely the weaker of the two. But for cities like Colorado Springs, it may end up being the more significant part of this event.

We should see a pretty substantial break after midnight Monday into Tuesday morning.

WAVE #2 – Late morning Tuesday through Wednesday morning

Wave 2 will come as the main area of low pressure begins to pivot across the south side of the state. This should bring us a better setup for a wider swath of Colorado to see higher impact weather. This will also feature colder area, so heavy snow as low as 7,000ft could be possible. This includes Monument Hill and Teller County, as well as the potential for heavy snow in the foothills west of Denver.

For all other locations, RAIN is likely during this time.

As seen on the precip charts, theres the potential for up to an INCH of liquid across a large chunk of eastern Colorado. This would be VERY welcome moisture as much of the spring so far has been much warmer and drier than normal.

Below is the snow chart for Wave 2. Foothills could see an additional 3-6", the Sangre de Cristos could see some significant snow, up to and over a foot.

Overall, the I-25 corridor should only see rain impacts, but anything above about 7,000 ft could be pretty slick. Keep that in mind for Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.

All things being said: this storm system is likely high impacts in terms of length of time and amounts of rain and snow.

Below are the storm total precip and snowfall amounts from tonight through Wednesday evening:

Gotta love to see a storm like this in early May, hopefully we can keep the train rolling throughout the month!

We'll let you know if there's any other important info on this storm over the next few days.

Otherwise... enjoy the moisture!

Here's what to expect the overall temperatures to be.

Let's walk through the weekend and early next week

☀️ Saturday: Warm and Dry

Saturday will be even warmer than Friday, with highs reaching the mid-70s, dry, making for great conditions for outdoor activities.

🌤️ Sunday: Breezy with a Chance of Afternoon Showers

Sunday will start off mild and dry, but by afternoon, there's about a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the city, with showers in the mountains and western Colorado. Highs will be in the mid-70s, but expect it to be breezy.

🌧️ Monday–Wednesday: Soaking Rain and Mountain Snow

A significant spring storm system is expected to move into the area starting Monday. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm are likely after lunch, with highs in the lower 60s. The rain will continue into Tuesday, with highs dropping to around 50. By Tuesday night, colder temperatures could bring a rain/snow mix to the lower foothills and possibly the Palmer Divide. The heaviest precipitation is expected on Tuesday, with snow levels dropping and potentially heavy accumulations in the Front Range Mountains and higher foothills above 6,500ft. The system is expected to move out by Wednesday, with lingering showers and highs in the mid-50s.

🌦️ What to Watch For
Weekend Plans: Saturday looks ideal for outdoor activities. Sunday afternoon may see some showers, so plan accordingly.
Early Week Commute: Expect wet roads and cooler temperatures Monday through Wednesday. Allow extra time for your commute and be prepared for changing conditions.
Mountain Travel: If you're heading into the mountains, be prepared for snow and potentially hazardous driving conditions, especially Tuesday and Wednesday.

Stay tuned to Weather5280 for updates as this storm system develops. We'll keep you posted on any change to that snow level!

We saw a fairly significant supercell that passed along the southern fringe of the Palmer Divide, impacting areas along HWY 24, and eventually moving north towards I-70; this was our one big storm of the day. For a time, it also had a tornado warning to go along with it.

We're not done there either! More severe weather is possible along the front range and plains on Thursday. Below are the risk maps for severe storms today:

And Friday:

Today looks quite a bit more robust based on some of the latest modeling. The yellow on today's severe risk indicates that we could get several storms to become severe. The dark green typically indicates that 1 or 2 could be possible.

Below are the storm energy charts for Thursday afternoon:

A fairly significant swath of available thunderstorm energy looks to stretch all along the I-25 corridor and would extend southeast towards the panhandles and southwest Kansas. This is a pretty classic "return flow" set up which are common this time of year as we begin to open up the door to Gulf of Mexico moisture.

We'll be watching for leftover boundaries from overnight storms to potentially act as a firing mechanism for storms today. Another good measure for storms around here is the dew point. Charts for dew points look pretty ripe for this time of year... anything above 40° has the potential to get some work done.

At this time, we're expecting 50-60 mph wind gusts, couple with large hail stones... at this juncture, the further east you are from I-25, the better your odds are for some nasty weather, but that's not to rule out a storm becoming severe along the urban corridor either.

Most hi-resolution modeling has these storms firing after 2pm Thursday – hopefully we can split the difference between that and the evening commute... or else things might go downhill quick.

Stay tuned close to radar and updates as storm season can get going fast around here.

🔑 Key Messages for the Weekend:

• Friday PM commute could be slick, especially around Castle Rock and foothill communities.
• A few areas will have several inches of total snow from this system, primarily accumulating through tonight.
• Roads will improve by Saturday afternoon, but dress for chilly, cloudy conditions if you’re out early.
• Easter Sunday looks dry, sunny, and much more comfortable with temperatures rebounding into the 50s and 60s. Sunrise church services will be cold, so prepare for that.

❄️ Friday: Snow with a Sharp Cooldown

Snow is already falling across much of the Denver and Colorado Springs metro areas today, and it will continue into the evening. Temperatures have plummeted into the 30s, more than 40 degrees colder than yesterday’s highs in the mid-70s. While much of the initial snowfall will melt on roads, expect accumulations on grassy and elevated surfaces through the afternoon and ramping up for some this evening.

As the sun sets and temperatures fall into the low 20s, roadways will become more vulnerable to slushy or icy conditions, especially in the higher terrain west of I-25 and along the Palmer Divide.

🌨️ Saturday: Lingering Snow, Then Clearing

Snow showers will linger through Saturday morning, especially west and south of Denver, before tapering off in the afternoon. Skies remain mostly cloudy, and highs will stay chilly in the mid to upper 30s. While additional accumulation Saturday should be limited (under 1 inch), early slick spots are possible before temperatures climb just above freezing.

By Saturday night, skies begin to clear and temperatures will dip into the mid-20s—cold, but setting the stage for a pleasant turnaround on Easter.

Potential accumulation totals when all is said and done are shown here.

☀️ Easter Sunday: Sunshine and a Spring Rebound

Sunday brings a return to sunshine and milder conditions. Expect a highs in the 50s to lower 60s for the metro areas, with light winds and dry weather. While it's not quite shorts weather (meh, it's always shorts weather though isn't it?), it will feel much more like April again—just in time for Easter egg hunts and family gatherings.

📍 Stay tuned to road conditions if you’ll be traveling through the foothills or along the Palmer Divide Friday night into Saturday morning. And don’t forget your layers for early Easter morning—it’ll still be brisk early even with sunshine. Happy Easter!

THE MEAT & POTATOES: Strong winds and fire danger here on Thursday afternoon will be replaced QUICKLY by a strong cold front around sunset tonight. That cold front will swing temperatures from the mid 70s into the mid 40s in just a few hours. Clouds will increase through the night and with snow increasing in the mountains around midnight, and around the Denver Metro by sunrise Friday. Snow lasts for most of the day Friday, with some higher snowfall rates possible Friday evening. Snow will likely taper down by Saturday with colder temperatures lingering.

Now, for those looking into specifics, let's jump into the timing, the totals and the impacts:

THE TIMING
Not a whole lot has changed with respect to the timing of this storm. We're expecting snow to start flying in the high country tonight with the approach of the cold front. Some lightning and thunder is possible up near Steamboat and Estes Park with this first wave of energy. Given the intensity, travel in these areas tonight is likely to be rough.

We'll see snow pick up from north to south along the Front Range after midnight and increasing into the Friday morning commute. For Denver proper, I think we'll see an initial wave of snow, followed by lingering flurries, light snow, or even rain at times through most of Friday mid-morning. After that, we're expecting another burst of potentially heavier snow Friday evening for the commute. Those snow showers continue through about midnight before slowly tapering off into Saturday morning.

For areas further south, including Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region, we likely don't see much from the first round of snowfall Friday morning... by the afternoon and evening, expect a burst of rain and snow showers (perhaps even a crack of thunder) before moisture changes over to mostly snow for the evening commute. This burst of snow could certainly cause some problems if you'll be out on the road – I know some folks for the holiday weekend may have family coming into town during this time, so plan accordingly! Snow looks to linger around Colorado Springs most of Friday night and lasts into Saturday morning before tapering off around lunchtime Saturday.

THE TOTALS
How much snow will we see? Still a bit of uncertainty, but we think we have some good estimates:

We still have a bit of a wide range due to some differences in the modeling... mainly between the EURO, 3km NAM and the HRRR. As of noon Thursday, the HRRR and the EURO seem to have a similar solution, while the NAM is FAR drier compared to the other two.

The EURO seems to be playing a middle-ground approach here, and that's what we're basing our forecast ranges on, with top ends reflect the HRRR solutions. For now, we'll table the NAM solutions and see how it performs in the upcoming afternoon runs to see if adjustments need to be made.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Warmer temperatures likely mean we see some melting, so in order to achieve higher end totals, we'll really need the snow to crank Friday evening.

THE IMPACTS
We will likely see some slowdowns Friday morning, with a better chance for slushy and messy roads Friday evening. The good news is that once the snow stops, we'll likely see rapidly improving road conditions due to marginal temperatures and warm ground.

We'll likely stay chilly on Saturday with slowly clearing skies from north to south. Temps will hold in the 30s and 40s.

Good news for the Easter Egg hunts too – we should be much warmer Sunday, likely in the 50s and 60s, so we should see a lot of melting. Unfortunately, shaded spots that don't get a lot of sun will likely remain snowy and wet.

Following this chilly weather, we're right back into the swing of things with 70s and 80s looking to get back into play next week! Never a dull moment around here... huh?

Thanks for hanging out with us again, we'll do our best to get to any questions you may have down in the comments below.

Have a good weekend all!
