Mega-moisture packed storm set to soak Colorado with heavy rain and deep mountain snow

CBS News06-05-2025

Moisture rich storm systems set to soak Colorado's Front Range and eastern plains with heavy rain and heavy mountain snow! We have launched a First Alert Weather Day for Tuesday for the big weather change.
The storm system is a slow moving Arizona low that will move across northern New Mexico on Tuesday bringing in a strong upslope and mixing in a strong pipeline of gulf moisture from Texas as it lumbers across the central Rockies.
Denver and the eastern plains will see heavy rain showers develop Tuesday morning into Tuesday afternoon. Some areas may see 1 to 2 inches of rainfall by Wednesday with a little more on Thursday. This may cause a few areas of ponding water and minor flooding in prone areas.
For the Front Range Mountains and Foothills snow level may drop as low as 7,500 feet! There are Winter Storm Warnings and advisories in place for those spots. Some areas may see 1 to 2 feet of snow.
There is the chance for some of the higher areas of Pikes Peak seeing 2 to 4 feet of snow by Wednesday night! Southern Colorado mountains will see more than a foot of snow as well this week.

Canadian wildfire smoke in the Pittsburgh area will be thickening today and causing poor air quality

Canadian wildfire smoke in the Pittsburgh area will be thickening today and causing poor air quality throughout the region. Any Alert Days Ahead? Friday may end up being one but right now the chance looks VERY low. Next Monday probably has a slightly higher chance of being a First Alert Weather Day but chance is still low. Aware: Air quality will be the lowest in the Mon Valley today, but that is due to pollutants from local factories more than it is due to Canadian smoke. The 'Pittsburgh Smells' App will likely see an active day today. It's always something isn't it? We finally get a couple of days where temperatures will be about where you'd expect them to be, but Canadian wildfire smoke is back. Overall, the most noticeable impact from the smoke is expected to be gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. With the current atmospheric set-up, we know that some of the smoke that's aloft will 'mix' down to the surface. This, along with ample Ozone development, will lead to air quality conditions in the 'yellow' zone. Yellow is known as 'moderate' air quality. This is the first step past 'good' air quality. There are five steps, with the next step being 'orange'. Orange is the 'sensitive' range. The difference is that moderate means people with respiratory issues may be a little short of breath today. The sensitive range adds young children and older folks to the list of people who may be impacted. KDKA Weather Center On top of dealing with Canadian smoke, we will also see a spike in Ozone this afternoon with ample sunshine. Ozone is created in the atmosphere through a chemical process where the sun's ultraviolet rays cause the development of Ozone-3 (O3). This happens on sunny days. Finally, the Mon Valley will see the worst conditions today (and all week) due to high pressure trapping particulates from factory exhaust at the surface. At times yesterday, the Liberty & North Braddock air quality sensors dipped to red. That means the air was unhealthy for everyone. Getting back to the forecast, rain stays away through Thursday morning. Highs today should return to the 80s with noon temperatures in the mid-70s. Winds will be light, coming in out of the south at around 5mph. We could see winds gusting past 15mph. Wednesday will likely be the hottest day of the week; I have Pittsburgh hitting a high temperature of 87°. I keep us just as warm on Thursday, even with the rain chance. I have us hitting 86° for Thursday's high. I also keep us in the mid 80s on Friday before we cool down just a bit for the weekend. I have Saturday highs in the upper 70s with Sunday highs near 80 degrees. KDKA Weather Center Expect Friday evening rain, so your 'day' will be dry. Saturday looks pretty rainy with passing showers around all day. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos

Hail, gusty winds possible with Wednesday morning storms in North Texas

The Wednesday morning commute could be stormy for some North Texans. A First Alert Weather Day is in effect for Wednesday due to the slight risk of severe storms bringing hail and damaging winds to the western and southwestern sides of North Texas. The National Weather Service highlighted the severe threat over parts of Denton and Cooke counties, as well as Tarrant, Wise, Dallas, Parker and Johnson counties. The biggest severe threat is further west. Just before 6 a.m., the storms were over Parker County and headed towards Tarrant County. CBS News Texas Severe storms could also return by the Wednesday afternoon hours, with large hail, damaging winds and lightning possible. By Thursday, the NWS Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal threat, level 1 out of 5, for severe storms across North Texas. The threat does not include Red River counties. CBS News Texas A cold front will dip across the region, providing enough lift and tapping into enough instability to produce damaging winds and large hail. Just in time for the weekend, the skies should clear and the temperatures will climb. CBS News Texas The warmth continues into the start of the next week with temperatures reaching in the 90s and winds gusting around 20 to 30 mph.

The weekend in North Texas starts out pleasant, but severe weather is expected on Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend in North Texas is starting out clear and sunny, but storms are on the way and will hamper plans on Monday. CBS News Texas Friday morning started out cloudy but will clear up leading into the long holiday weekend. Temperatures on Friday will remain above average. It will be mostly dry but later in the night, storms in the panhandle will try and approach North Texas. Rain chances remain low at 20% along the Red River and northwestern sides of North Texas. CBS News Texas Saturday remains rain-free and temperatures will be in the mid-90s with "feels-like" temperatures near 100 degrees. Sunday will be another hot and humid day with cloud coverage increasing. Later on Sunday, a First Alert Weather Day will go into effect due to a slight risk for severe storms with large hail and damaging winds. CBS News Texas A cold front will arrive in North Texas Sunday to Monday, bringing an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms. A First Alert Weather Day is also in effect on Memorial Day as the atmosphere will be primed for at least a few strong to severe storms, thanks to moderate instability and a modest wind shear. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and counties to the south are under a severe weather threat on Memorial Day. CBS News Texas There is also a potential for localized flooding, with rainfall totals ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Some parts of North Texas could get up to 3.5 inches of rainfall. Rain chances stick around the rest of the week along with below-average temperatures. CBS News Texas
