.A STORM SYSTEM WILL BE NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA EARLY ON

ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. WET HEAVY SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN THE MOUNTAINS AND

EC HAS FAVORABLE QG ASCENT FOR SUNDAY WITH INCREASED MOISTURE IN THE MORNING. WITH THE MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY
The weather outlook doesn't good at all. And all the weather models tend to agree. The warmth will be trapped in Central Europe, and we'll be pounded by low after low, with Arctic air able to flow freely south.
My only hope is that the models tend to play down the rotation of the planet and the prevaling westerlies. Often low pressure systems a week away might strike fully on Finland, but when the actual date is, the weather system is already comfortably in Russia.
Election day on Sunday, and that tells pretty much the average larger story:

Showers, some sun, northerly wind, single digits.
Very disappointed right now.
If it makes you feel better, we're sitting at 11 C under heavy overcast and an easterly wind right now. This is after hitting 27 C 2 days ago...lol.
