This week in Colorado weather: July 18, 2022

July 18, 2022 /

Another brutally hot week is expected across the Front Range with a ridge of high pressure staying the course over Colorado. With this, temperatures will remain above normal for the next six days or more, including a couple chances at reaching triple digits. Thunderstorms will be around throughout the week, but as usual they will be fairly spotty and will offer little reprieve from the ongoing heatwave and drought.

Hot weather returns to the Front Range today after a very comfortable day on Monday. At one point late Monday morning, the 24-hour temperature change was 30 to 40°F colder in our area.

Rain showers and thunderstorms ended up completely engulfing the Front Range yesterday, though precipitation totals were on the lower side across the region (see below). Most areas picked up less than 0.1" of rain, but lucky spots in the Foothills, the Palmer Divide and areas way east saw more. It was also an active day for the eastern Plains where …
