Day 1 of Denver, CO (KDEN)

 Plenty of snow on the ground in Denver and the whole High Plains area keeping it chilly. Partly cloudy skies and calm winds will lead to decent radiational cooling tonight, but with lingering low-level moisture, the cooling could lead to saturation at the very low levels, producing fog and low clouds that would slow or stop the cool down. After whatever fog and low clouds quickly burn off after sunrise tomorrow, a decent warmup follows with sunny skies (except for a few clouds moving in for the afternoon), but the bright white snow cover will reflect much of the sun’s energy away and probably prevent it from getting above freezing. The snow cover has also led to daytime temperatures not getting as warm as most models have predicted recently. Winds will be light initially tomorrow before northerly winds take over for the afternoon, although they will not be that strong.
