Lots Of Colorado Cloud Control
DENVER (CBS4) - Colorado will have lots of cloud control as we get the weekend rolling. On the weather map we have high pressure to the east and a big upper level low over southern California this is giving our state a southerly flow with lots of clouds pushing in over the state. This flow is also, bringing in mild temperatures from the south and southwest.
There is a lot of upper level moisture pushing in ahead of the California low. As this west coast low moves into Arizona and New Mexico on Sunday snow will ramp up in the mountains. The higher accumulations will be in the San Juan mountains where there is a Winter Weather Advisory for 6 to 12 inches of snow through 6pm Sunday evening and the central mountains should see 5 to 10 inches.
There may be enough moisture and afternoon heating for a few isolated afternoon showers for the Denver metro area on Sunday. And an outside chance for an isolated late day thunderstorm.
Things should begin to clear on Presidents Day with the warming trend continuing through the middle of the week ahead.
