A few weak weather disturbances will pass to our north.  This will bring an occasional flurries to the northern mountains over the next few days.  Temps will remain in the 50's for highs in most Valley sections of the state. 

We are watching another storm for Friday night into the weekend.  A couple things are very clear already.  This storm will not be as cold as the Thanksgiving storm.  So all valley areas will likely see rain.  The snow will be limited to locations above 7,500 feet.  I like what I see from the models as far as the moisture of this system goes.  It looks to be a very wet and warm storm.  This could be a huge help in reducing our fire danger.  The heaviest rains will fall in central and western sections.  Significant snow will fall in the Sangre de Cristos.  My bust potential on this storm is 4 5% right now.  If we continue to see huge amounts of moisture continue to show up on the model forecasts this storm could be a huge help in reaching our November precip averages.
