For the gardeners out there...🌱
A widespread freeze is expected Friday night across northeast Colorado (the first of the season for some areas).
While a freeze isn't completely guaranteed over parts of the urban corridor, the probabilities are quite high 👇 #COwx

A COLD FRONT COMBINED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM HAROLD COULD BRING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION TO COLORADO, WYOMING, AND NEBRASKA!
What you're looking at is a model blended average of what we call QPF (Quantitative Precipitation Forecast), and it's in inches of rain. I don't want people to get caught up in the details right now. I just want to give you a general idea of what we could experience later this week and going into the weekend.
I will have much more details on timing and potential impacts in future updates, but here's what I want you to get out of this update:
- The heat is going away. 😁
- By Friday, many of you will be back in the 70s. 😎
- A sharp increase in the coverage of showers and thunderstorms across the mountains will take place starting Wednesday as monsoonal moisture increases with the remnants of Tropical Storm Harold.
- By Thursday and into Thursday night, rain showers and thunderstorms should encompass SE Wyoming, the Nebraska panhandle, and the front range/eastern plains of Colorado, especially along and north of the Palmer Divide as the remnants of Harold interacts with a cold front moving in from the northwest.
- Rain showers and thunderstorms will continue into Friday with much cooler temperatures as we head towards the weekend.
More details to come, so be patient. I'll keep you updated! kthxbye #COwx #WYwx #NEwx #Forecast #TropicalStormHarold #Monsoon

SCAMMER CALLS CAPTAIN HE'S IMPERSONATING.
Imagine the reaction when Captain Gulli got a phone call from a police impersonator claiming to be Captain Gulli! We recorded the conversation and needless to say, it caught the scammer by surprise and he eventually hung up.
Please let this be a warning: be aware of phone scams involving fraudulent callers who impersonate law enforcement officers. They will call you and pretend to be one of our sergeants, lieutenants or captains. They'll tell you there's a warrant out for your arrest or you have missed jury duty. The scammer will ask for payment to 'clear it up.' Please DO NOT send them any money or give our your personal information. A legitimate law enforcement officer will never do this. Be wary of phone calls from numbers you don't recognize and always call us to confirm at 303-795-4711.
