Colorado’s scorcher of a weekend is finally giving way to cooler, stormier skies—and not a moment too soon. After record-breaking highs in Boulder and Denver, a refreshing cold front kicks off the week with below-normal temps and a solid chance for showers and storms, especially Tuesday when things could turn severe. But don’t get too cozy—the heat will make a comeback late in the week into the weekend. Here’s what you need to know about Colorado’s weather during this final week of June.
Front Range Colorado is bracing for a scorching stretch ahead as a powerful heat dome settles in, sending daily highs into the 90s and even near 100°F come Friday. Fire danger is also set to rise with bone-dry downslope winds ramping up in the days ahead. But there’s relief on the horizon: a cold front will finally break the heatwave by Monday, bringing much cooler temps, a shot at rain, and the kind of weather we’ll certainly be ready for!
Get ready for a classic early summer setup—plenty of warmth, a hint of storm potential, a bit of wildfire smoke, and maybe even the year’s first 90-degree day(s) for the Front Range. While the week starts off dry and sunny, a few scattered storms will make an appearance midweek, adding a little variety to the forecast. By the weekend, the heat cranks up as a strong ridge sends hot air northward into Colorado.
