Forecast Discussion

A gray start to the day should gradually begin to break up, leading to a partly sunny and warmer afternoon across the Foothills. With weak high pressure in control through early next week, Sunday and Monday feature similar weather, albeit with a small chance for an afternoon shower both days.

The big weather story will be the arrival of a strong fall cold front on Tuesday. The front will decelerate as it crosses the mountains, with wave-action along the front into midweek. We expect increasing coverage of rainfall along and immediately behind the front, starting for Tuesday afternoon and lasting through Wednesday.

Once the front and associated waves of low-pressure exit the Southeast, we anticipate another autumnal air mass to overspread the region for Thursday and beyond. This will send temperatures back below normal for a while, as we enjoy plenty of sunshine.
