In Brief:

Mild temperatures and dry conditions dominate the next week.

The Front Range Forecast:

Amazingly mild weather has settled in. You should see some great melting occur this week (Figure 1). The West Coast storms are back - crashing into California and dropping rain and snows across the western states.  They typically give up their final moisture on the western slopes of Colorado - which is what we see happening again Sunday and beyond this week (Figure 2).

The Longer Range Forecast:

Over the next 5 days, though, mountain snow amounts are fairly light (Figure 3). The mid-week front (Figure 1) might send a coating of snow out across the Plains (Figure 3). This is not a done deal either.  I'm betting on more mild than much cold and snow.  Enjoy the quiet weather!
