As expected, a chilly, blustery day. Thornton topped out at 39 degrees and had a top wind gust of 25mph. Tonight, skies will clear and lows will dip to the low 20s. Tomorrow we bounce back with mostly sunny skies and highs around the 50 degree mark.
December 9, 2024 - Afternoon Time Lapse
No drama for us today - just clouds. 🥺 We might see a few flakes yet before midnight but don't expect much at all. Lows tonight will be quite cold and into the mid to upper teens. Tomorrow remains chilly with highs only around 40 degrees but we will see a return of the sun. After that, we return to above average temps and dry conditions - for better and worse.

November 22, 2024 - Mesmerizing wave clouds
The time lapse videos our webcams create are a lot of fun to watch. Yesterday's provided a mesmerizing view of the wave cloud that hovered overhead and then culminated in the brief, stunning sunset. Enjoy the view!

A toasty late summer day but lots of blue above
Mother Nature over-performed a bit today with a high of 87 degrees vs the forecast of 85. Tomorrow, we'll warm further with the mercury climbing into the low 90s.
Those clouds were moving today. 💨🍃 Really though, the wind wasn't too bad with a top gust of 25 mph. After last week's drama and all the damage we suffered, we will happily take that instead. ;-) Tomorrow will be a bit breezy but we will have more sun and highs are going to hit the low to mid-90s.

Time lapse from last night's storm... 9:00pm to 11:00pm, one picture every minute. You can see how with a flash of lightning at about 9:40pm, all hail broke loose for about 25 minutes. Happened so fast!
Not too bad of a day today, eh? We topped out at 79 degrees and are headed to an overnight low of 42 degrees. A cold front will be moving in that will cool us down a good bit tomorrow. Look for highs around 60 degrees under partly sunny skies. Tomorrow evening may bring a few, scattered thunderstorms. More: https://www.thorntonweather.com/forecast.php
A look at this afternoon’s western view. A nice day in Thornton as highs topped out at 64 degrees. Tonight, northwesterly flow will develop and a cold front will be pulled in from the north. As a result, clouds will be increasing and tomorrow cools down. Look for partly sunny skies Wednesday with highs in the mid-50s. There will be just a bit of a chance for some drops of rain in the afternoon. Don’t fret though. Warmer weather returns for Thursday and particularly the weekend.

March 14, 2024 - Thornton's Pi Day Snowstorm Time Lapse
These are always fun to watch. 24 hours in 1 minute. Time lapse of yesterday's snowstorm. At the start at midnight, rain had just transitioned to snow. You then see the snow continue throughout the day and evening. Thanks to the higher March sun, much of it melted on the roads. In the end, we received 10.8 inches. Not too shabby.
A lot less drama in those skies today versus yesterday. That wave cloud was kind of fun to watch. Thornton topped out at 57 degrees, a good bit more than expected due to the snow cover quickly disappearing. Tonight, will dip to the mid-20s under mostly clear skies. Tomorrow, look for even warmer temps with highs in the low 60s and some slightly breezy winds. More: https://www.thorntonweather.com/
February 27, 2024 - Snow Squall Time Lapse
