If you enjoyed the hot and mostly dry weather that dominated the month of July in the Front Range, you’re going to absolutely love the first week of August! High pressure will rebuild over the area this week keeping temperatures well above normal and acting to suppress thunderstorm development most days. The best chance of rain comes on Tuesday, but we also are watching the upcoming weekend when the remnant tropical moisture from Hurricane Frank reaches the area. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead in Colorado!

⦁❶⦁ A favorable monsoonal flow continues today with another chance of showers and thunderstorms across the area, though storms will be less intense and less widespread
⦁❷⦁ Best chance of storms between 2PM and 8PM with things shifting east before sunset — little to no impacts expected to any fireworks displays
⦁❸⦁ High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 90s
⦁❹⦁ Warm weather with decent monsoon moisture sticks around for a few more days before changes come later this week
The arrival of the North American summer monsoon varies substantially from year to year, depending greatly on the weather patterns of Mexico, the southeast USA, and the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. We don’t have to wonder anymore — the monsoon has already commenced in the last few days, about two weeks ahead of schedule. Hooray! We discuss the current state of the monsoon, what’s happening with that pesky La Niña, and what to expect in the coming months across Front Range Colorado.
The heat returns this week, but thankfully so do the storm chances. Highs start out near normal but reach potential record highs by midweek. Our storm chances increase Wednesday through Friday as better moisture spreads into the state, some of which will be tied to Tropical Storm Celia off the Baja coastline. Read on for all the details.
The ongoing heatwave will last through Monday with near-record high temperatures expected once again. A welcomed cold front Monday night will offer a reprieve from the heat for a couple days, but the sizzling temperatures return in full-force later in the week. We’ll largely be dry the entire week ahead. However, signs are pointing towards a surge of subtropical moisture during the upcoming weekend into the Four Corners region. This will bring the chance of late-day thunderstorms back into the Front Range.
The week starts off unsettled, cloudy, and chilly as a series of mid-level systems keep the Front Range in a persistent upslope flow. Showers, and at times, thundershowers, will be isolated to scattered over the Plains and Foothills through Tuesday. Temperatures may get cold enough for some flakes to fall in the Foothills. Drier conditions with temperatures rising into the 80s and 90s take hold by late week.
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.
The week ahead will have a little bit of everything across the Front Range! Each day through midweek will offer late-day chances of spotty thunderstorms — some of which could turn severe east of Denver. Thursday will be flirting with near-record heat alongside critical fire danger. And finally, by Friday there may very well be snowflakes flying across the area as a late-season cold storm arrives. This will definitely be an interesting weather week in Colorado! Read on for all the details.
