Tonight’s Forecast:
A large (but weak) storm to our west is fizzling out, in it’s death throes…so while the general winds are still that of a storm…counter-clockwise, out of the south and southwest for us…since they flow over many mountains first…the rain chances are slim/none. Now, there is a little more to the story. These general winds do scoop up small pieces of energy from whatever is caught in those winds…which in this case, down south, like from west Texas and New Mexico, and draws it northward. The trajectory for those pieces of energy bring them up into extreme southeastern Colorado today, and a little further east tomorrow (west Kansas.) So, those locations will be flash points for possible late-day storms.
But the reality is, it is the hot weather that takes the overall headline. Any time you combine late-May sunshine with any wind direction that goes down mountains (down-sloping wind direction), you can get big heat…which is the case, through the upcoming holiday weekend.
