The ridge discussed in our outlook yesterday remains parked across Utah today, with an extremely weak disturbance moving across northern Colorado during the evening hours.

It’s only fitting that for the first day of summer we are set to heat up nicely into the middle 90’s this afternoon across the Plains, with 80’s in the Foothills. However, between 5:00PM and midnight, we’ll be watching for a few isolated showers and storms across the region. These storms are the result of slightly elevated moisture and also the upper-level disturbance. Any activity will be weak, and many areas will remain dry. We think just a 15% chance of rain today for the Metro area. 

90’s return tomorrow too, along with isolated afternoon and evening storms. We hope you find a way to beat the heat!

Finally, we leave you with a great wave cloud time-lapse from last Friday taken just north of Boulder. With strong winds aloft, at least this morning, expect to see a few stationary wave clouds out there today, too! Thanks to YouTube user a colorado sky for the video!
