We'll start a new thread. The only observation this cube jockey has today is that it snowed yesterday.
Edit to add: The forecast for this week 10/15 -10/22 looks promising with a long wave trough setting up over the western conus ejecting short waves into CO in the Wed-Thursday time frame. Orographics on Wed/Thurs look favorable from the WNW (slightly less favorable for SuCo). Looks like a brief transitory ridge on Friday before another system for the weekend. The GFS wanted to cut this low off over Eastern Colorado, but the ECMWF is more progressive with the system, which seems more likely given the building high pressure from the west. After this weekend, the high pressure looks to take hold for the remainder of the month.
