Check this out for late week as the latest Pacific storm system dives SE across the Rockies.

The GFS has backed off significantly after having 30″ of snow for Denver. The ECMWF still has a major snow event of 4-8″. The key for Denver is whether the surface low tracks to the south allowing east winds to crank and wrap-around moisture to pile in and up against the Front Range.

The same system bringing the Rockies snow will also enhance heavy rain across the South and Southeast over the next 7+ days.

ECMWF surface.

The very system that could lay down the snows thick in the Rockies could also increase severe weather and will also reshape the temperature pattern to end April and begin May.

GFS operational 5-day mean 2m temps/anomaly

GFS ensemble 5-day mean 2m temps/anomaly

ECMWF 5-day mean 2m temps/anomaly

The year’s tornado count remains near record low and given the cool pattern that will likely take us into May, we may surpass the record for lack of tornado’s by May 1st.
