On the big weather map we have a strong ridge of high pressure out east that is going to back up the west to east flow across the nation thru most of the week ahead.
This will keep a digging low pressure trough over the west coast with wind producing jet stream diving in between right into the Central Rockies. The nose of the jet will be pushing into the state overnight Sunday into Monday. The pressure gradient between the trough and the ridge along with the strong upper level winds will enhance the gusts over most of the region. There are wind advisories posted for western areas thru Monday morning for wind gust up to 70 mph.
Along with the West there are High Wind Warnings for parts of the central and southern mountains for wind gusts 70 to 85 mph Sunday night thru noon Monday. With the wind expected to ramp up overnight into Monday a large part of our state including some of Denver’s southern and western suburbs have a rare overnight threat of fire danger.
The area under the watch may expand as we get closer to Tuesday and at this time Wednesday may also be another fire danger day as record high temperatures are expected along with the wind by mid-week.First Alert Meteorologist Dave Aguilera is a Colorado native and has been forecasting weather in the Rocky Mountain region for over 25 years.
