The heat is on from Monday through Wednesday next week as an upper level and surface ridge drives the Iberian heat pump all the way up into southern Norway, Sweden and Finland next week.Right now, the headache with next week’s forecast is the timing of an approaching cold front, however as it approaches from the west, rather than spoling the show, […]
A large, unusual and once-in-a-lifetime storm system that’s currently spinning over the heart of the United States and dragging arctic air all the way into Texas will continue to do so over the next few days. It has already been responsible for producing local and state all-time record snows with 28.2 inches of snow reported in Colorado, 18 […]

Scotland Following a cloudy and damp morning in places, the sunshine has broken through for most areas this afternoon but staying cooler than average. Speaking of cool, beneath clear skies and light winds expect a widespread rural ground frost with towns and cities holding above freezing. Lows in some spots may dip towards -5 or […]
The month of April is ending just as wild as it began with an unseasonably rainy/snowy night over the central Rockies after a toasty Monday with highs reaching 80 in Denver. Tonight will see the cold front swing through with rain changing over to wet snow from Montana down through Wyoming into Colorado. Cheyenne may see a good 6-8 inches […]
