Denver, Colo.
Falling barometer, rising temperature, cirro-stratus clouds, with westerly winds. Most reliable indications of storms are seen to the north and west on the mountains.

For wind, a black wall of cloud generally forms between high peaks and the foot-hills, completely hiding the peaks and extending only five or ten degrees above the horizon.
