Thornton Weather

April 8th is historically when the state sees its peak snowpack for the season. With the statewide average at 22% of median now, we are at the lowest peak recorded (modern records began in 1987). Sigh. More: thorntonweather.com/snow-basins.php

@Justme33067 Ha! Yeah, she needs to cut loose a bit. ;-)

@ThorntonWeather I think Old Man Winter and Mother Nature should go out on a date. 😂

The latest long term outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center do not, unfortunately, provide much hope for relief from the unusually warm, dry conditions of recent weeks. Sigh. More in our April preview here: thorntonweather.com/04preview.php #Thornton #cowx

@NaturisticNate We feel your pain. Lol.

@ThorntonWeather All of noco is in that force field. Its crap.

Finally seeing some showers but as you can tell on radar, the Thornton force field is keeping it at bay. 😡 Hopefully we can get that to break down and bring some much needed precipitation. Interactive radar: thorntonweather.com/radar-interact… #Thornton #cowx
