The Front Range will unfortunately see a continuation of unseasonably warm and bone dry weather this week. With a strong ridge of high pressure parked over the region, temperatures will remain summer-like in the lower 80s for the most part. While a couple of weak cold fronts may bring slight temperature drops, there will not be any precipitation. Wildfire smoke from neighboring states will intermittently affect our air quality. We also look ahead to a pattern shift next week which should bring welcomed changes. Read on for all the details.

Colorado Forecast Update: There’s still no clear-cut end to our relentless warm & dry spell in sight

The Front Range is experiencing an exceptionally quiet and warm early autumn weather pattern that is expected to persist through the weekend and into next week. This prolonged dry spell is due to a stubborn ridge of high pressure over the southwestern United States, preventing any significant weather systems from reaching Colorado. Despite a couple of weak cold fronts, temperatures will remain well above normal throughout the extended, with record highs possible on Saturday. Unfortunately, there is no significant rain or snow in the pipeline, exacerbating the ongoing drought and increasing fire danger across the region. Here’s the latest on what is becoming a dire situation.

We’re tracking two main chances for rain in the extended: a quick shot of severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and then widespread upslope showers by Friday or Saturday as autumn weather arrives right on schedule. The week will stay warm with temperatures in the 80s, but cooler, unsettled weather is looming for the weekend. Read on for the latest details.

The second week of September will bring a prolonged period of unseasonable warmth to the Front Range along with minimal rainfall. The early to mid-week period will actually have slight chances for rain, but late-week will have much drier air and gusty winds leading to elevated fire danger. Temperatures will remain close to 90 degrees every single day in the extended, with some influx of wildfire smoke at times from the Pacific Northwest. Read on for all the details.
