The weather across our region has been relatively uneventful over the course of the last month, with much of the West sitting beneath a broad, upper-level ridge and monsoon moisture hard to come by. That changes this week! The week ahead will showcase a, dare we say, (early) fall-like weather feature that will bring a big cool down and a good chance of rain (and possibly severe weather) to Boulder County. However, 90s will make an reappearance at some point. Read on to find out when!

An update on Colorado’s paltry 2015 wildfire season

August 7, 2015 / Ben Castellani

To suggest that the 2012 wildfire season in Colorado was utterly devastating would be an understatement. Nearly a quarter million acres were charred, more than 600 homes damaged, and at least 35,000 people were evacuated statewide. This year, the narrative is much different. We provide an update on the 2015 fire season so far and discuss the forecast heading forward.

What to expect from August in Boulder

July 31, 2015 / Ben Castellani

It’s hard to believe that August is now upon us! Where is the summer going? Thus far, El Niño and an active monsoon pattern have aided in keeping our temperatures relatively cool and wet. July recorded nearly 1″ above normal precipitation, and had an average temperature more than 2 degrees below normal. Should we expect more of the same in August? Read on as we examine Boulder’s climatology and consider the current state of the atmosphere to give our outlook for the next month.

The week ahead: July 27-31, 2015

With our last measurable rainfall occurring on July 22, the monsoon seems to have taken a temporary hiatus from our region. Looking ahead, will see a large dome of high pressure build across the region, further loosening the monsoon’s grip on Colorado.
