Smoke was a big inhibitor of heating yesterday along the central and northern Front Range/Urban Corridor, so storms never popped locally even when the outflows from the other storms moved through. Cap for the win. Hopefully today will be different (though I certainly don't need 2" hail!)

Yeah, severe t-storm watch and then couldn't even see any storms from here. Today looks a little less hazy, I think.

Warmer for sure here today, and earlier, and sunnier- also less of the chilly N/NE wind we had yesterday. DP at 1 PM here was 62, the highest I've seen in a long time when it wasn't actively raining. All we need is lift.

EDIT: 85/63 at 3 PM. That's about the least Front Range-ish you can get.
