Frost Advisory covers most of the south and north metro area for tonight. Temps will get close to freezing on the periphery of the metro area.

#COwx

Huge reduction in drought conditions across southern Colorado after last week’s rains!

Extreme drought reduced from 14.3% to just 1.3% statewide.

#COwx

This is part misleading and part false.

The false part - the West Pacific (where Halong originated from) is having a below average year so far across all metrics, especially for ACE & typhoon days.

The East Pacific is above average for number of storms/hurricanes & near average for ACE.

🌤️ Mostly sunny and notably cooler, with a high in the upper 60s in Denver. Breezy, with 20-30 mph gusts esp north of Denver. Some patchy fog possible north of Denver this AM.

🍂 Staying cool but dry tomorrow (highs in the 60s) before a chance for showers on Saturday.

#COwx

Late night mid-October thunderstorms in the Denver metro area because why not

8:07p: Storms mostly on the south and east side of town…Lightning, brief downpours, 40-50 mph winds main hazards with these:

Will have a storm threat for the next few hours across the metro area.

#COwx

7:15p: Mostly quiet in the Denver area right now, but showers and storms will move in from the southwest over the next 1-3 hours.

Some rare nighttime October thunderstorms very much possible in the Denver metro tonight…

#COwx

Would bring the rain gear with you if you're going to Red Rocks tonight...

#COwx

We'll get a few shots at our first frost, maybe first freeze for the Denver area over the next few days. Friday/Sunday/Tuesday the best chances (maybe a few days next week).

Best chances will prob be Sunday AM and Tuesday AM.

Good reminder to winterize!

Today's furcast comes from happy-go-lucky Tommy, a cat-friendly 3-year-old greyhound mix who enjoys other dogs as well! Tommy says tomorrow will be a perfect day for a dog walk, with temps on the cooler side in the morning!

Denver (DIA) dewpoint just hit 54° - this is Denver's highest October dewpoint on record!

It's muggy outside...in mid-October. Weirdddddd

#COwx

A boundary right over Denver is separating warm SW flow and cool north winds.

Currently 81° at Centennial Airport and just 62° in Broomfield...a 20° swing over just 30 miles (and same elevation)!

#COwx

Weather won't be a factor for the Broncos game on Sunday.

Colorado Rapids regular season home finale on Saturday night could have a few showers/wind...keeping an eye.

#COwx

Next week trough is trending weaker and further north. Denver may not get its first freeze for a little while.

#COwx

Pagosa Springs has seen 35% of its average *annual* precipitation in less than a week.

And likely a bit more to go today.

#COwx

Yikes lots of go arounds at DIA in the last 10-15 mins with 1/4 mile fog there…counting at least 7 go arounds in the last few minutes.

#COwx

Unusually muggy for mid-October today (hence the fog), but that'll also give us a few stronger storms this afternoon.

Highest October dew point on record for Denver is 54°. We'll be close to that later today/tonight.

#COwx

This is the latest marginal or higher severe weather risk for Denver County since 2010.

Strong wind will be the main hazard today, but could also see some hail and healthy downpours in a few spots. Higher risk north and east of Denver.

#COwx

🌦️ Sunny and warm with a high near 80° in Denver, and a 30% storm chance 3-9p. Better odds for showers/storms north and east of Denver, limited hail/wind threat.

⛅️ A few showers around tomorrow and notably cooler, with a high in the low 60s. Cool through Saturday.

#COwx

Watch for some patchy fog in the morning in/near Denver. Higher odds north and east of downtown.

#COwx

Weather apps/current modeling not showing the potential for our first freeze and/or flakes next week. But it wouldn't take a huge shift south of current modeling for a higher impact system next Tuesday/Wednesday.

My lean: Snow seems unlikely, but time to winterize...

#COwx

Next week's trough originates in Alaska (with probably some Halong remnants).

*If* it dives far enough south, could give lower elevations like Denver their 1st hard freeze + maybe snow of the season. Mon-Wed next week.

Current modeling keeps it too far north, though.

def gonna help a bunch.

current lean would be storms up north as the SPC shows...with little/no action in/near Denver.

#COwx

Models notably more excited about storms tomorrow, including potentially a few severe ones in/near the Denver metro.

Big disagreements on the models though...stay tuned.

#COwx

5 years ago today, the East Troublesome Fire - which went on to become the 2nd-largest fire in Colorado history - started. It led to 2 deaths, 555 destroyed structures, and devastation in Grand Lake.

Also a stark reminder that fire season in Colorado is year-round.
