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.
Elevated fire conditions will be in place nearly every day this week, though the most dangerous conditions will be Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with strong winds and warm/dry conditions across the Front Range. Above normal temperatures will be around throughout the week, with potential record highs shaping up for Wednesday. The week remains dry overall, although there will be some light Mountain snow at the beginning and latter part of the week — certainly not enough to please the skiers. Read on for our full weekly outlook.
Much needed precipitation is the main story for the week across Colorado! There are two systems of note that will bring beneficial rainfall and Mountain snow to the region, with the second system a little less certain than the first already ongoing on this Monday. With the precipitation chances, temperatures will largely be below seasonal normals, coolest on Monday, with even a few snowflakes possibly mixing in at times. The forecast turns drier and much warmer to close out the week. Read on for the full details.
