 Happy new week everyone. This is the weather forecast for Longmont covering Monday through Thursday, March 23 to 26 I'm chief meteorologist John is worth for Longmont public media The new moon occurs Tuesday March 24th, so it'll be in the vicinity of the Sun for that whole day Behind the blue sky so rising and setting about the same as the Sun nothing to see here so let's get to the weather for This week we are definitely enjoying spring like temperatures and it is spring so enjoy the spring I'm looking out further in the miles to see if there's any chance that we have another shot of winter and Climatologically, we certainly can get snow in April and May and we've even had snow as late as early June Little bits, so it's probably not over but in the short term and make medium range and I don't see it We have high pressure starting out this week with a storm system down here in California It's kind of a mirror of the last system that gave us all the snow and rain But it's vastly weaker and it's moving pretty quickly So won't be as much of a thing at all So as Monday morning When I'm recording this Comes by we have this little trough sitting down here in Nevada Central California this little piece of energy here will break off and zip pie of the state today By late night Monday in the Tuesday morning You can see that the system is here a low kind of consolidated to the east of the mountains and is sliding quickly Off into the plains and there's mountain Moisture and snow going up there not a lot in the way of rain or precipitation down in the plains, but there'll be a little You can see in the 10-day Ensemble this Monday night Tuesday morning chance of rain is a pretty good agreement between all the different runs of the GFS But there's no snow temperatures here all above freezing this blue line across here We'll get to this next system at the end of the week shortly So by Wednesday, we have that trough that was out there the southern part of it remain behind I kind of connects with another ripple in the flow aloft in the northern jet Making one kind of bigger trough and that's going to start heading to the east and because it is a Larger feature it's going to go a little slower. It's got this ridge that was keeping us warm for out the early part of the week Slowly pushing off to the east. So this is going to hang around a little longer as it passes For the five day though the snow Going through the end of the week is not very impressive. It's up in the mountains mainly. There's some places in the six to 10 inch range and in favorable locations, but most of the mountains are only getting a few inches and There may be a dusting down in Boulder and the western suburbs of Longmont and Hygiene and like that for rainfall and not very Exciting either we've got some local areas of up to an inch or an inch and a half or so up here in the Northern mountains down here. We're generally around a tenth to under a quarter of an inch of water So putting the whole week together we've got fifties and sixties for the beginning of the week with a little chance of the afternoon overnight precipitation Monday into Tuesday Really nice weather after that Thursday and Friday some rain chances It won't be all the time and it won't be very much But you'll be cloudy you'll smell that spring moisture in the air and it'll be kind of ice We cool to the fifties and just barely below freezing at night into the weekend We start to crawl back up towards the sixties with sunny skies again For more local news take a look at the Longmont Observer at longmontobserver.org and their more frequent text updates and graphics for the weather that I post as conditions warrant For Longmont Public Media, this is Chief Meteorologist John Ensworth.
