The first full week of October will feature a few cold frontal passages, one in the beginning and another toward the end. Both will be accompanied by the chance of rain showers and below normal temperatures.

Get ready — we’ll have shades of both summer and fall this week! An anomalous ridge of high pressure over the southern Great Plains will lead to a dry and hot first few days.

The late-week period will turn more seasonal for Colorado. Read on for all the details.
