The month of May will end with several days of highs in the 80s. This warmth will be felt largely into midweek as ridging extends into the Front Range area. Although the chance of showers and storms will exist early in the week, the better chances crops up from Wednesday onward as a closed low pressure lifts into the region. This system may linger into the early part of the weekend and there could be some risk of excessive rainfall. Read on for our full outlook of this abbreviated holiday work-week.

The story since late last week has been the infiltration of smoke into the Front Range from distant but numerous Canadian wildfires. That trend will unfortunately continue early in the week with light to moderate smoke sticking around through at least Tuesday or Wednesday leading to degraded air quality. Fortunately, the pattern will shift midweek whisking away the smoke and changing the headlines to rain and thunderstorms for a few days. Let’s take a look at what is sure to be another interesting week in Colorado weather!

The week starts off rather warm under increasingly strong southwest flow aloft. This will culminate in elevated fire danger on Tuesday with dry and gusty winds in place.
