6/1 - 6:30pm - Are YOU Ready for 90's?

It seems weird to be talking about 90-degree weather whilst being in school, but hey, thank the remnants of Hurricane Ike and that horrid ice storm in January for that. School in Jefferson County ends on Wednesday, but the heat's already here! We should shoot past 90 degrees for the first time in 2009 tomorrow, with a high somewhere near 92. After a sunny Tuesday, storms will push through on Wednesday afternoon. A few severe storms could be in the works on Wednesday, but I'm not too impressed with the latest instability numbers and front placement at the moment. It'll take another day to hammer that one out completely.

Once any remaining storms clear early Thursday, we should be left with a nice end to the week. More rain is expected as a low pushes through the region early next week.

Let's talk storm chasing! The SPC's 4-8 day outlook made my day when I saw it a few minutes ago:


I arrive in Denver before lunchtime on June 6th, and Day 5 on the outlook includes June 5th and 6th and Day 6 includes the 6th and 7th. Obviously this is still a few days out, but how convenient would it be to have severe weather right next to Denver on the starting days? We'll have to track this as Saturday approaches to see if severe weather is actually in the cards for areas east of Denver during the beginning of my trip.

5 days until storm chasing begins!
