For the upcoming week, smoke and heat will be the main forecast challenges for the period through Friday. A potent ridge of high pressure will largely remain situated over Utah and Colorado, keeping us in a continued hot and dry pattern. Monsoon moisture will return to the area briefly during the middle of the week and also into the weekend, resulting in some storm chances. Read on for our full forecast below.

As of Monday morning, thick smoke from numerous large wildfires blankets the Front Range and this will remain the case through much of the week ahead. There will be some improvement in the smoke as monsoonal moisture returns in the coming days alongside late-day storm chances. Let’s run through the weather of the next ten days or so for the Denver Metro area.

Despite the heatwave, Boulder failed to reach 100 degrees on Thursday and will likely come up short again today

Denver’s temperature soared past the century mark on Thursday for the fourth time this summer, but Boulder came up short again. Near-record hot temperatures will again be possible on Friday ahead of a cold front which will set the stage for a pleasant weekend ahead. We discuss the cause of this heatwave, which cities will again be challenging records on Friday, and why we should consider ourselves lucky it wasn’t hotter this week.

This week will feature a continuation of the dangerous, unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, but cool and rainy weather in the Front Range. Go figure! Our temperatures will remain below normal through the week with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms, helping to alleviate but not remove wildfire concerns across the state. We also discuss the status of monsoon season, the active tropical eastern Pacific, and what may lie ahead for the Fourth of July weekend.

Unseasonably cool temperatures will exist on Monday following a cold front and upslope flow. However, the heat and smoke return on Tuesday and will stay with us most of the week ahead. We’re also watching the potential for a much-needed wet conclusion to the week.

Boulder could notch a rare 100°F temperature this week, but probably won’t (Updated)

June 16, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

As the heatwave reaches peak intensity on Wednesday, Boulder is well-positioned to obliterate the existing daily record high temperature for the date, maybe even before the lunch hour! However, increasing smoke from distant wildfires, more widespread clouds and outflows from developing showers could keep the city from hitting the elusive century mark. We review the climatology of rare triple digit heat, discuss why Denver is often several degrees warmer than Boulder on days like this, and take a look ahead to when the heat will end.
