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.
Not long ago, 2018 was in the running with 2012 for the hottest summer on record for many Front Range cities. However, a subtle but crucial pattern shift has kept our temperatures on the cool side for the last three weeks, knocking this summer back to a status closer to normal. We discuss this shift and provide an update on our summer forecasting contest which wraps up at the end of the month.
Thunderstorms and smoke will be on the increase through the week, with temperatures remaining near normal across the Front Range.
After a rather pleasant weekend with a few storms over the region, this week’s weather will be dominated by northwest flow transitioning to a rare northeasterly flow. What that will spell out is the threat of scattered storms into midweek, followed by dry and seasonal temperatures to end the week as the monsoon becomes fully suppressed. Read on for more details.
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.
As we have now entered the month of August, we have started on the downhill portion of summer. Temperatures have already started their seasonal trend downward alongside decreasing solar heating this month. We review the climatology of August and highlight a few aspects of the weather to watch this month.

After a seven-day onslaught of severe weather across northeast Colorado, we’re happy to report that things will be quieting down this week. The weather will be pleasant for Monday and Tuesday, but recirculated monsoon moisture will bring the chance of storms back our forecast from Wednesday on. A slow but steady warming trend will unfold as well.
