STP 09-12-2015: Frontal Passage brought Cooler Temperatures to Eastern Colorado

Issue Date: Saturday, September 12th, 2015
Issue Time: 9:00 AM MDT

Summary:

A reasonably strong cool front made its way through eastern Colorado, dropping high temperatures 10-15 degrees from the previous day. Surface high pressure awaited behind the front, and subsidence aloft combined to create an environment hostile to any potential showers. Upslope flow helped to bring an increase in clouds, especially south of Highway 24, but there just wasn’t enough moisture for upslope flow to produce any precipitation. West of the Continental Divide, temperatures were nearly the same as the previous day’s highs underneath mostly sunny skies.

No flash flooding was reported yesterday.
