After a couple cooler weeks, a new ridge of high pressure will form over Utah and dominate the extended forecast across the Front Range leading to a lengthy stretch of 90-degree days accompanied by little to no rainfall. The upcoming Labor Day weekend looks pretty nice across the area as the warmth continues but with some storms popping up in the Mountains. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead.

Drier weather takes hold for most of the Front Range through about midweek as high pressure and reduced moisture move in. The latter half of the week will feature an uptick in storm chances with a series of disturbances moving into the area. Temperatures will largely stay close to normal in the 80s as monsoon season comes to an end for northeast Colorado. Read on for more details.
After several dry summers in a row, the 2022 monsoon season has been a breath of fresh air for most of the Front Range, thanks mainly to the recent soggy weather culminating in localized flash flooding earlier this week. As monsoon season begins to wind down across Colorado, we discuss the recent and seasonal rainfall totals, why this year’s monsoon has been atypical, and how climate change may impact future monsoons.
We kick off the week with a deluge of monsoon moisture setting the stage for potential heavy rain and flash flooding on Monday. The rest of week turns drier but at least remains on the cooler side. For once, there isn’t a single 90-degree day in our extended forecast! Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead.
After a soggy Sunday, the weekly outlook turns much drier as a strong ridge of high pressure will dominate Colorado through at least Thursday. The hottest days ahead, likely landing in the mid to even upper 90s, are favored towards the end of the week. Monsoonal moisture looks to return by the weekend with a better chance of much-needed storms in tow.
After one of the driest starts to the summer monsoon season on record across the Front Range, things have started to change somewhat following a surge of monsoon rainfall in the final days of July. We review what has transpired so far this summer, look at where 2022 fits into the historical monsoon climatology, and discuss the temperature and precipitation outlook for the month of August.
If you enjoyed the hot and mostly dry weather that dominated the month of July in the Front Range, you’re going to absolutely love the first week of August! High pressure will rebuild over the area this week keeping temperatures well above normal and acting to suppress thunderstorm development most days. The best chance of rain comes on Tuesday, but we also are watching the upcoming weekend when the remnant tropical moisture from Hurricane Frank reaches the area. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead in Colorado!
⦁❶⦁ Strong thunderstorms last night produced localized flash flooding, hail, and incredible lightning across the area
⦁❷⦁ Monsoon moisture peaks on Thursday with an excellent chance of more rain and cool temperatures
⦁❸⦁ Rain chances will decline slowly through Friday and the weekend as temperatures trend up, but flash flooding remains a concern
⦁❹⦁ We temporarily dry out early next week with temperatures returning to the middle 90s or higher by Monday
