September 11, 2018 / Ben Castellani

Though there is officially still about one week left in summer, meteorological summer ended last weekend. We take a look back at what ended up being a warm, monsoon-deprived summer in which severe thunderstorms lessened wildfire and drought concerns. We also congratulate the 25 winners of our 2018 Summer Heat Contest!

Weather in Colorado will be calm but hot for the last full-week of summer. Many areas will be flirting with record heat multiple times in the coming days. Elsewhere, the Carolinas are preparing for major Hurricane Florence which is likely to make landfall later this week.

Monsoon moisture is making its annual retreat back into northwestern Mexico. When this happens, we look to the mid-latitude storm track to begin providing “weather” to Colorado again through the autumn season. Unfortunately, the storm track remains well to our north right now, so prepare for a generally quiet week ahead.

What a wonderfully cool day we had on Sunday. Cooler weather continues early in the week, along with the increase in monsoonal moisture as the week progresses. Warmth and drier conditions take hold later in the week setting the stage for what looks to be a great weekend. We also detail the wildfire smoke situation and provide an outlook on when the smoke may clear out.

There has been a dramatic drop in visibility and air quality across Colorado as smoke from several large wildfires burning in California and Oregon moved in on Wednesday. We discuss the smoke’s path to get here, how many acres have burned so far in 2018, and the potential weather impacts wildfire smoke can have.

Following a very chilly Sunday, it will be business-as-usual for the week ahead with the sweltering heat returning to the Metro area. The same high pressure that has been plaguing us for weeks on-end will isolate Colorado from the pool of much-needed monsoon moisture, thus limiting rainfall chances for the foreseeable future. Read on for the disappointing details.
