Pics of Northern Lights last night, tracking Denver snowstorm!

Good afternoon! Thanks for checking in, on this warm fall afternoon. We have lots of changes to talk about over the coming days, including rain chances, along with a much cooler pattern that will lead into Halloween.

Before I get to that, the Norther Lights were visible for much of the U.S. last night. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to look at them! Anyway, I thought I would show you some truly amazing pics:

Truly some breath-taking pictures, and truly a rare experience to Hoosiers!

Before I get to the Denver snowstorm, Here are some highlights of the weather you can expect over the next several days:

Weather Highlights:

1) System #1 will arive late tonight/early Wednesday, bringing scattered showers.
2) Dry hours tomorrow
3) Round 2 hits late tomorrow/early Thursday, with soaking rains likely.
4) Some areas could exceed 1" of rain when all said and done.
5) Drier/cool Friday-Saturday
6) Warmer by Halloween

Since we have no snow to track here, I thought it would be fun to track Denver's first snowstorm with webcams and such to track it right here on the blog. After Denver hit 80* yesterday, an all-out snowstorm will hit them hard starting tonight. And we thought our weather was wild!!  A band of 4"-8" of snow expected by Wednesday afternoon for the mile-high city. Here is accuweather's snowfall map:


Their rainfall is expected to change to snow around midnight, and by morning rush, travels there will be a big mess! Now here are the webcams to track the flakes:

Downtown Denver air quality cam

I-70 & Colorado Boulevard

Denver City Government Broadway & Colfax traffic cam


Denver City Cam - location varies

Should be fun to track late tonight and all of tomorrow! Thanks for checking the blog, have a great evening!
