Labor Day 2019 was Denver’s first 100-degree day ever to occur in September. It was also the latest 100-degree day observed, remarkably by more than two full weeks. The previous record high for September 2nd was 95 degrees. On Monday, this temperature was eclipsed before the lunch hour, with the prior record eventually being obliterated by 5 degrees later in the afternoon. The city of Boulder officially hit the century mark on Monday, too. The extreme heat had impressive historical significance here as well, with one small asterisk. Unlike Denver, Boulder actually only tied all of the existing records, as 100 degrees had already been observed on the very same day back in 1983. We investigate the validity of the triple digit observation this week and the one more than three decades ago.
This week we discuss what caused the heatwave over the long weekend and what will end it abruptly on Tuesday. We also take a look at our daily chances for thunderstorms the rest of the week.
We discuss the outlook for what is shaping up to be a pleasant holiday weekend, albeit under the duress of near-record heat.
This week will feature a figurative roller-coaster ride in temperatures across Colorado. This is thanks to the first fall-like storm system of the year scooting across the northern United States. It will be predominately dry for us, but rain chances do return late in the week.
Near record heat will transition to cooler temperatures through the week. Read on to find out when a cold front will arrive and which day holds our best chance of rain.
A change to the weather pattern has taken place early this week with a noticeably drier airmass establishing itself across Colorado and the monsoon moisture plume redirected well to our east. Ultimately this will translate into a drier and warmer period in the near-term.
