Day 8 of Denver, CO (KDEN)

After southwesterly winds kept the temperature up most of the night, it changed to southerly and temperatures tumbled at the last possible moment (an hour after sunrise!), leading to a low of 14F. With no westerly component to the wind, temperatures are not spiking upwards like they did yesterday, with a high so far of only 34F. Air mass continues to warm, leading to both high and low for day 8 to be warmer, perhaps by ~5F. Southwesterly winds look slightly stronger tomorrow than today, so such a drastic last-minute drop will likely not occur tonight, and they will also help tomorrow be substantially warmer than today, though winds could still turn to the southeast during the afternoon due to the diurnal cycle. Clear skies will dominate again, except some thin, high cirrus tomorrow evening.
