@NWSPueblo @NWSBoulder Snowcapped Pikes Peak above a layer of stratus hugging the lower areas of the I-25 corridor along the Front Range and lower slopes of the Palmer Divide.

Fall colors have peaked early this year in the Colorado Rockies, but a sunny Sunday made for a great hike to Rainbow Lake near Frisco and around Copper Mountain. Let’s hope the snow isn’t too far away.

@NWSPueblo @NWSBoulder Mother Nature on display from on top of the Palmer Divide in Colorado as the anvil top and underlying Mammatus clouds were lit up by the setting sun…not to mention the double rainbow.

@NWSPueblo @NWSBoulder Towering Cb with a nice anvil spread out over the top and sunlight on the tower creating a spectacular view from this evening on top of the Palmer Divide

First signs of seasons changing, a dusting of snow above tree line on Pikes Peak after thunderstorm…hopefully a sign of a big snow year for the Rocky Mountain region and western US…we need it after last year’s snow drought.

⁦@NWSPueblo⁩ ⁦@NWSBoulder⁩ 4th spectacular sunset in a row ….I guess if we are going to be stuck in the W/NW flow with dry and warm weather, we might as well see beautiful sunsets

[Bill Kappel @coloradowxman]

⁦@NWSPueblo⁩ ⁦@NWSBoulder⁩ High clouds and layered mountain wave clouds produced another spectacular sunset looking over Pikes Peak from on top of the Palmer Divide Colorado.

Another spectacular sunset from the top of the Palmer Divide in Colorado.

[Bill Kappel @coloradowxman]

The hits just keep on coming with another fiery sunset from on top of the Palmer Divide in Colorado. High clouds making for the spectacular sunsets are the result of the AR affecting the west coast. Unfortunately, that means mild weather here in the Front Range of Colorado.

[Bill Kappel @coloradowxman]

⁦@NWSPueblo⁩ ⁦@NWSBoulder⁩ after a beautiful sunset yesterday high clouds this morning capped it off with an amazing sunrise from the top of the Palmer Divide

[Bill Kappel @coloradowxman]
