⦁❶⦁ Remnant tropical moisture from once-Hurricane Kay is fully-entrenched across the state today
⦁❷⦁ Widely scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms expected with highs around 80 degrees
⦁❸⦁ The moisture lingers through Friday and so too will the (slight) rainfall chances
⦁❹⦁ A deep trough develops along the West Coast this weekend but it may never reach Colorado
After setting multiple record high temperatures during the heatwave last week followed by a pleasantly cooler weekend, this week our temperatures will stay mostly above normal with some chances for rain mixed in as the remnants of Hurricane Kay pass across the Rockies. The week will end warm and mostly dry with that same trend continuing through the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead for the Front Range.
The extreme heatwave unfolding across the West continues in full-force for one more day in Colorado. Unfortunately, the hottest temperatures thus far still lie ahead on Thursday alongside elevated fire danger. The end is in sight though — two cold fronts bring a taste of autumn this weekend. We discuss how hot it will get Thursday, the timing of the big changes, and just how chilly it will be this weekend.
The ongoing brutal heatwave will continue for Labor Day and through the first full week of September. A strong and anomalous ridge parks itself over the Utah region through Thursday resulting in hot and dry weather in the 90s across the Denver area. Record highs are likely under this setup and we may even see some triple digits at times as well. The light at the end of the tunnel is a welcomed cold front currently scheduled to arrive on Friday.
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.
