The Front Range will unfortunately see a continuation of unseasonably warm and bone dry weather this week. With a strong ridge of high pressure parked over the region, temperatures will remain summer-like in the lower 80s for the most part. While a couple of weak cold fronts may bring slight temperature drops, there will not be any precipitation. Wildfire smoke from neighboring states will intermittently affect our air quality. We also look ahead to a pattern shift next week which should bring welcomed changes. Read on for all the details.

Colorado Forecast Update: There’s still no clear-cut end to our relentless warm & dry spell in sight
The Front Range is experiencing an exceptionally quiet and warm early autumn weather pattern that is expected to persist through the weekend and into next week.

Despite a couple of weak cold fronts, temperatures will remain well above normal throughout the extended, with record highs possible on Saturday. Unfortunately, there is no significant rain or snow in the pipeline, exacerbating the ongoing drought and increasing fire danger across the region. Here’s the latest on what is becoming a dire situation.

The Front Range experienced its first significant rainfall in five months, with some areas receiving up to an inch of rain over the weekend. The start of the work week will be relatively cool. However, a strong ridge pattern known as an omega block will bring warm and dry conditions from Wednesday onwards, with temperatures rising into the 80s and potentially reaching record highs by Thursday. While there is no hope for any snow in our forecast yet, our 10th Annual First Snow Contest will open to entries later this week. Read on for all the details.
