Get ready for a preview of summer! Near-record heat will kick off the week across the Front Range, with highs soaring towards the mid to upper 80s. These temperatures could tie or break existing records, making for a sizzling start to the week. But don’t worry—relief is already on the way! A mostly dry cold front will roll through around midweek, cooling things down to more seasonable levels. While a few stray showers might pop up later in the week, the better chance for wet weather arrives over the upcoming weekend.
Get ready for soaking rain across the lower elevations, with heavy wet snow in the higher terrain of the Front Range. A powerful spring storm will impact Colorado this week, allowing for a lengthy period of deep upslope infused with Gulf of Mexico moisture. The bulk of the storm’s energy will hit from Monday afternoon through early Wednesday, bringing a dramatic shift in weather conditions to the area. Thick clouds and precipitation will keep temperatures feeling brisk, but by the end of the week, high pressure will return, ushering in a more seasonal warmth. Just how much rain are we expecting this week? How deep will the snow pile up in the Foothills and Mountains? And how far down could the snow levels plunge at the storm’s peak? Read on as we break it all down in this week’s outlook.
