Hello, Birders.

I believe tomorrow, Wednesday, May 1st, has great potential for birders (bad 
for migrating birds) in the northern Front Range region. As I gaze into my 
crystal ball, I see Northern Parulas, a Scarlet Tanager or two maybe, and 
possibly a White-collared Swift. Hmm... The image is shifting... I see myself, 
freezing cold, standing in the snrain on the north shore of Boulder Rez...

P.s. If you need inducement to go birding tomorrow, try this, from the U.S. 
National Weather Service:


















A STRONGER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DROP OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
AND INTO COLORADO LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
MUCH COLDER WITH SNOW IN THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS...FOOTHILLS AND THE NORTHERN
FRONT RANGE URBAN CORRIDOR...WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TUESDAY NIGHT CHANGING
INTO ALL SNOW WEDNESDAY MORNING ELSEWHERE. SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WILL BE
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 70. THE SYSTEM WILL EXIT THE REGION EARLY THURSDAY. CURRENTLY STORM
TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE 2 TO 6 INCHES OVER THE PLAINS...WITH HIGHER
AMOUNTS THE CLOSER TO THE MOUNTAINS DUE TO UPSLOPE FLOW. FOOTHILLS AND THE 
NORTHERN URBAN CORRIDOR COULD SEE 5 TO 8
INCHES...AND THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS MAY SEE 6 TO 12 INCHES. ALL THESE
ACCUMULATIONS ARE GOING TO BE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE CURRENT WARM
TEMPERATURES WE ARE EXPERIENCING WHICH WILL MELT THE INITIAL SNOWFALL.
HOWEVER...THE NEARBY JET WILL LIKELY INFLUENCE THE ACCUMULATIONS WITH BANDED
SNOWFALL. THIS IS A VERY CHALLENGING SET-UP...ESPECIALLY WITH IT
BEING MAY 1ST. STAY TUNED TO THE FORECAST FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.
