While the Trump Administration believes that our northern neighbors are a security threat, I certainly appreciate the cool, dry air that they sent this way (no tariffs attached). This morning, it felt more like late September than late June along the Colorado Front Range.
This welcome change was the product of high pressure over the Pacific Northwest and low pressure over the Northern Plains. Between these atmospheric pumps, the pleasant Canadian air was driven southward, displacing the heat that has plagued us for the past week or so. Colliding with that heat, the cool air may spawn thunderstorms later today.
Unfortunately, our respite will be brief and the southwestern atmospheric ridge will reclaim the Front Range by Monday. In the meantime, we'll enjoy highs in the upper seventies and low eighties and overnight lows in the upper fifties (F). My personal thanks to Canada for the refreshing air, however short it's visit.
