An Expected Chill

Back in Colorado for a week, we have enjoyed warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights, a bit too much to expect for May along the Front Range.  Indeed, snow is not unusual during this month and intermittent, chilly rain often occurs.

So, tomorrow's forecast of showers with a high in the 50s F is not atypical.  Indeed, as I write this post, clouds are building in Metro Denver and a light northeast breeze has dropped the temperature from the low 80s into the sixties; it is only 56 degrees in Salt Lake City and in the forties throughout most of Wyoming.  Rain is expected to develop here by late tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, as is often the case, the atmospheric trough is forecast to move rapidly to the east and warm, sunny weather should return within a couple of days.  Meanwhile, we'll enjoy a break from the intense Colorado sunshine and appreciate whatever moisture our yards and plants receive.
