This will be a very boring week as a meteorologist, but a great week if you are going to be outside!

High pressure will keep things dry and beautiful today through Friday with dry skies and really nice temperatures.

The next interesting weather element is a low pressure trough in the jet stream Sunday. That energy could bring heavy snow to the mountains with rain on the plains. Rain and snow could mix over the Front Range Mountains.
