December 2022 was a rather fickle month. Things started off somewhat warm and dry, and there was even a sizable wildfire just west of Boulder in the week leading up to Christmas. The weather quickly turned much colder and snowier for the holidays, including the coldest temperature reading in more than 30 years for the city. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.

October 2022 Graphical Weather Review: Not as bone-dry as last October, but still dry & warm overall
October 2022 was yet another warm and dry month for the Front Range as drought expanded across the state and our precipitation deficit for 2022 grew further. Denver and Boulder both saw later than normal first snowfalls and first freezes. There were no major heatwaves or cold snaps to speak of during the month either. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
The week ahead will feature persistent northwest flow across the northern Rockies which will keep things sunny, mostly dry and generally mild for us in the Front Range. Overall temperatures will be up and down with the only chance of rain for the week coming late in the day Tuesday. There’s no snow in the pipeline either, but frost will be possible Thursday morning especially in outlying areas. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead.
September 2022 followed the trend of the rest of the summer as another hot and somewhat dry month across the Front Range. The month entertained one of the longest and most intense heatwaves for so late in the season. Rainfall was below normal and there was no snow during the month. Smoke from out of state wildfires was also a theme at times. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.
After setting multiple record high temperatures during the heatwave last week followed by a pleasantly cooler weekend, this week our temperatures will stay mostly above normal with some chances for rain mixed in as the remnants of Hurricane Kay pass across the Rockies. The week will end warm and mostly dry with that same trend continuing through the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead for the Front Range.
The extreme heatwave unfolding across the West continues in full-force for one more day in Colorado. Unfortunately, the hottest temperatures thus far still lie ahead on Thursday alongside elevated fire danger. The end is in sight though — two cold fronts bring a taste of autumn this weekend. We discuss how hot it will get Thursday, the timing of the big changes, and just how chilly it will be this weekend.
After one of the driest starts to the summer monsoon season on record across the Front Range, things have started to change somewhat following a surge of monsoon rainfall in the final days of July. We review what has transpired so far this summer, look at where 2022 fits into the historical monsoon climatology, and discuss the temperature and precipitation outlook for the month of August.
