Despite having a two-week-long dry stretch thrown into the mix, the month of April concluded wetter than normal for most of the Front Range. However, much of this moisture came from a soaking rainstorm (with a little snow) near the end of the month. Nonetheless, 2024 has begun as one of the all-time wettest in Boulder. We also endured an intense downslope windstorm near the beginning of April, but who could forget that? Xcel Energy customers sure wouldn’t! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.
