11 Weather Forecast
Meteorologist Branden Borremans
Thursday, March 18th

Another beautiful day can be expected with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures. Highs will be in the 60's and 70's, well above average for this time of year.

Friday will be a completely different story. A strong cold front will race southward along the Front Range early in the day. This will mean a strong north to northeast wind, ushering in much colder air in the process. Snow will develop around Denver, then spread southward during the day. The snow coupled with the wind will make travel quite difficult for areas that see the heaviest snow. Right now the areas likely to receive the heaviest snow are: Teller County, Northern El Paso County and all of the Palmer Divide (areas between Monument and Denver), the Wet and Sangre de Cristo Mountains as well as the Raton Mesa. At this time, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Canon City, and all of the Southeast Plains do not appear likely to receive heavy snow. However, any snow coupled with the strong wind will produce some pretty nasty conditions. This threat will continue through Friday night.

The storm will exit early Saturday, but could still be producing snow showers for the southern mountains. Most areas will be dry, windy, and cold, with highs only in the 30's.

Sunday will be much nicer. Plenty of sunshine and highs should reach into the 50's. Monday and Tuesday will also be nice, with highs reaching into the 60's and 70's.

Another storm will impact the area toward the middle of next week. More on that one in the coming days.

UV exposure has increased over the last 30 years, but stabilized since the mid-1990s
NASA scientists analyzing 30 years of satellite data have found that the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth's surface has increased markedly over the last three decades. Most of the increase has occurred in the mid-and-high latitudes, and there's been little or no increase in tropical regions.
To the Antarctic or Brazil for new feathers: Thin-billed prions select their moulting grounds individually
Scientists have studied the migratory behavior of thin-billed prions and discovered that the animals spend their molting season in two areas that are at a considerable distance from each other. Thus, it would appear that some seabirds can be extremely flexible and change their habitat if required -- a vital adaptation to the unpredictable conditions found on the high seas.
New study debunks myths about vulnerability of Amazon rain forests to drought
A new study has concluded that Amazon rain forests were remarkably unaffected in the face of once-in-a-century drought in 2005, neither dying nor thriving, contrary to a previously published report and claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Atmospheric nanoparticles impact health, weather professor says
Nanoparticles are atmospheric materials so small that they can't be seen with the naked eye, but they can very visibly affect both weather patterns and human health all over the world -- and not in a good way, according to a new study.
Three FASTSAT instruments pass tests
The outer layers of Earth's atmosphere hold many secrets yet to be uncovered and three scientific instruments will fly soon on the FASTSAT-HSV01 satellite and seek to uncover them to benefit us here on Earth. Known as MINI-ME, PISA and TTI, these instruments recently passed a series of important final tests to prove their readiness for spaceflight.
