On a day which should have been slightly cooler than recent times on paper, Boulder officially reached 100 degrees Tuesday afternoon. However, other reliable weather sensors around the city came in several degrees cooler and more in-line with forecasts. We take a look at the temperatures measured around the area and weight on what will ultimately go down in the books as a record high temperature and the city’s first triple-digit reading in over two years.

With the monsoon getting suppressed and a hot pattern taking hold this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday could get Boulder to the elusive 100-degree mark for the first time in nearly two years. We discuss the cause of this heatwave, how hot it will get around Boulder and Denver this weekend (and next week), and when we expect cooler temperatures to arrive.
June 2022 began soggy and snowy across the Front Range with a sizable precipitation event getting us off to a good start on the first of the month. However, the rest of the June was largely warm and dry despite an early start to monsoon season in the southwestern United States. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during June and how it relates to climatology.
May 2022 began by continuing the dry trend of the months prior, but thankfully was capped off with two soaking precipitation events across the Front Range. The damaging snowstorm May 20th to 21st was one of the biggest ever in Boulder for so late in the season. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there were also 14 days of 80-degree weather during the month — a number way above normal. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during May and how it relates to climatology.
Just when it seemed we had the shortest snow season and earliest last snowfall records in the bag, Mother Nature is about to throw a late-spring wrench into the forecast! A winter storm is heading for Colorado and it will bring snow to everyone Friday into Saturday even across the lower elevations in Boulder and Denver. While the Foothills communities should brace for a major damaging snow event, some crucial aspects of the forecast remain fuzzy which has allowed only low confidence in the exact snow amounts for the immediate Metro area. Let’s take a look at the latest details and go over our preliminary snowfall expectations and impacts.

As wet as it was early in 2022, things really dried out fast over the course of March and April. Several grass fires were reported across the state on twenty or more Red Flag days that occurred during the month. When it was all said and done, Boulder had just one day of measurable rainfall in April and no measurable snow at all! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.
This is an important forecast discussion involving a particularly dangerous situation that will unfold on Friday with extremely explosive fire conditions all day long. We review the atmospheric ingredients leading to such a dire situation and look at just how common days like this are in our climatology (spoiler: it’s very rare).
