9:41 pm
closely here. it all has to do with the jet stream. that stream coming out low. and that high building from the west created the gusty winds. but then that easing a little bit and with the high pressure anchoring over us, you'll love the forecast for friday and for saturday. now it is a little chilly out there right now. good radiational cooling and clear skies. already at 27 degrees at dia! thankfully there's not a lot of wind because it would feel colder and then those fahe seem to be a big issue as of yet. average high this time of year is 48. even though it felt really cold today, this is where we should be this time of year. i think we're done with the record highs we've been reporting the last two months. we're done with that. dia at 27 degrees now. and windchill east of denver is mid-teens. those heading out for midnight shopping, grab the jacket. you'll need it. and winds are southeast right now. pretty light. we're watching the next system
