This week’s weather will be a mixbag across Colorado, with a little bit of Mountain snow, bouts of gusty winds, and one or two sizable temperature swings for the lower elevations. With the exception of a cold and windy Tuesday, the week ahead will be pretty nice for us overall. Looking ahead, a juicy atmospheric river may reach Colorado during the upcoming weekend with substantial Mountain snow in the works. Read on for all the details.
October was yet another exceptionally warm and dry month in the Front Range, with most areas landing more than six degrees above average while receiving very little if any precipitation. The period of May to October only produced 4.64″ of precipitation in Boulder, the driest such stretch in recorded history. It’s no surprise that drought has further expanded across the region. In contrast to our boring weather, space-related activity was booming in October with multiple nights of auroras lighting up Colorado’s skies and a multi-week comet display. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
