Another brutally hot week is expected across the Front Range with a ridge of high pressure staying the course over Colorado. With this, temperatures will remain above normal for the next six days or more, including a couple chances at reaching triple digits. Thunderstorms will be around throughout the week, but as usual they will be fairly spotty and will offer little reprieve from the ongoing heatwave and drought. A slight pattern shift early next week should revive the monsoon for the Desert Southwest, but whether that propagates into Colorado remains to be seen.

The week starts off cooler than normal and a breath of fresh air behind a frontal passage. The reprieve from the heat is short-lived, unfortunately, as a strong mid-level ridge of high pressure builds back in as the week progresses. This pattern change will lead to temperatures getting hot once again to near the century mark by week’s end, along with increasing afternoon/evening storms in the monsoonal flow.
With the monsoon getting suppressed and a hot pattern taking hold this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday could get Boulder to the elusive 100-degree mark for the first time in nearly two years. We discuss the cause of this heatwave, how hot it will get around Boulder and Denver this weekend (and next week), and when we expect cooler temperatures to arrive.
We hope you had a great Fourth! The Southwest monsoon remains active through the middle part of the week with good chances for rain in Boulder and Denver, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Unfortunately, the pattern shifts late in the week suppressing the flow of monsoon moisture into Colorado. This will cause drying for us, but also a spike into triple-digit temperatures for the weekend. Read on for our full outlook of the week and weekend ahead.
The arrival of the North American summer monsoon varies substantially from year to year, depending greatly on the weather patterns of Mexico, the southeast USA, and the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. We don’t have to wonder anymore — the monsoon has already commenced in the last few days, about two weeks ahead of schedule. Hooray! We discuss the current state of the monsoon, what’s happening with that pesky La Niña, and what to expect in the coming months across Front Range Colorado.
The heat returns this week, but thankfully so do the storm chances. Highs start out near normal but reach potential record highs by midweek. Our storm chances increase Wednesday through Friday as better moisture spreads into the state, some of which will be tied to Tropical Storm Celia off the Baja coastline. Read on for all the details.
After a rather humid, sticky week and weekend, the weather will shift Monday with winds and drier air persisting through the first half of the week. Afternoon thunderstorm chances are quite low, but increase towards the weekend with a major pattern shift in store for the weekend which could bring some moisture and a drop in temperatures.
