Answer 1

Question) What is the local time in Denver, Colorado (US Mountain Standard Time) at the valid time of the surface weather chart below?

Answer) You can see 00Z in the top left of this weather surface map. This '00Z' means mid-night (24:00 hours) at Zulu-time (or Z-time or Universal time coordinate- UTC).

And, according to the NOAA, the US Mountain Standard Time is equal to the UTC - 7:00 hrs. Thus, this surface weather map shows 5:00 pm local time (24:00 - 07:00 hrs = 17:00 hrs) in the Denver, Colorado (US Mountain Standard Time).
