An upper-level ridge will continue to build in over the next few days, helping temperatures to warm through Wednesday. Tomorrow, expect the high temperatures to warm a few degrees higher than today with continued sunny and clear skies. Tomorrow night’s lows will warm into the 40’s with dry conditions that will continue.
Monday is expected to be the warmest day with temperatures reaching 10-15 degrees above normal in the upper 70’s to 80’s. Breezy winds are also expected along the Rocky Mountain Front Monday up to 30 mph at times.
Heading into the latter half of next week, there will be a high possibility to see a pattern shift. A cold front will likely move through along with an upper-level trough that will bring a cooler/wetter airmass. There is a bit of uncertainty of how much moisture this front will bring, but showers are likely. Northwest flow aloft funneling in colder air behind the front will allow some higher elevation snow to fall as snow levels drop. Winds aloft also increase behind the front on Thursday, continuing into the weekend as temperatures dip down into the 50’s as well. Cooler weather is beginning to settle into the area as we continue through the month of October.
