[00:00:01]O, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber [singing] waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited [singing] plain.

[00:00:18]America, America, [singing] God shed His grace on thee.

[00:00:25]Here's to 150 [music] years of the state we call home.

[00:00:33]Hey there crew, I want to investigate together in detail our storm for early next week because we do have some things that we need to work on here over the next couple of days. So, one of the things that's a little bit different in the European model this morning, which is what I am showing you here and I'm taping this at 10:15 on Thursday, is that it's showing a more likely situation here to maybe have a circulation with it up to the north. And that would be more likely to pull some desert air over southern Colorado and keep the heavier moisture up to our north. So, that's something that we have to watch here over the next couple of days with what happens with that from an evolution standpoint. The other thing we need to watch is if there is a circulation that is up to our north, that's going to keep the lift with that system over a tighter area than if it's more of an open wave, which the American has more of a likelihood as of this taping maybe more of an open wave.

[00:01:36]Both of them though have the heaviest moisture up across northern Colorado.

[00:01:41]And so, that's something we'll watch here over the next few days. There's certainly work to do with this. The other thing that might happen, especially if there is a circulation farther to the north, is that the coldest air would stay up to the north with that system as well. So, we may have to up our temperatures a little bit for Monday, and if we up the temperatures, we're going to drop the moisture chances. Already dropped the chances for moisture in Pueblo here early this morning, but that's something that we'll keep watching.
