Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 08/23/23 | Rain chance creeps up today, widespread heavy rainfall takes aim on the Front Range for Friday

Tuesday was our eighth straight 90°+ day in a row and today will be our ninth as the pattern remains largely unchanged in the general vicinity of Colorado. The one shift today will be the influx of more moisture from the south leading to a slightly better chance of late-day thundershowers. The remnants of once Tropical Storm Harold are on the …

This Week in Colorado Weather: August 21, 2023

The week commences on the hot and dry side as a very strong and anomalous ridge over the central United States keeps much of Colorado locked into a scorching heatwave.

Today begins a shift in our weather away from soaking monsoon thunderstorms towards a greater risk of severe storms, mainly for the eastern Plains of Colorado though. This shift is due to shutdown of the monsoonal pipeline, at least temporarily, as well as increasingly strong flow aloft which will aid in the shear needed for strong to severe storms. GOES-East …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 08/02/23 | More monsoon thunderstorms but a lower flood risk

Once again widespread showers and thunderstorms impacted the area yesterday evening. The hardest hit location was probably the area from Allenspark, through Lyons and towards Berthoud which got hit with a tropical downpour in the early evening. Up to 2" of rain fell in the core of this storm in less than 45 minutes prompting flood warnings. For today the …
