It will feel like August, not October, this week as the same old pesky ridging pattern holds across the western United States. As a result, we’ll largely see a continuation of dry and unseasonably warm weather across the Front Range as many days flirt with record high temperatures. Read on for our complete outlook of the week ahead, including discussion of when our next chance of precipitation may edge into the forecast.

In the face of La Niña, the rest of 2020 is shaping up to be warm and dry in Colorado

For the first time in three years, La Niña conditions have developed and are expected to last through the upcoming winter. We discuss the forecast, remind you what La Niña actually is, and explain the potential impacts La Niña will have on Colorado for the rest of autumn. If you like pie charts, box-and-whisker graphs and/or 3-D representations of ocean temperatures, this post is most definitely for you!

This week’s weather will be a delicate balance between below and above normal temperatures as the Front Range remains situated between a ridge of high pressure over the West Coast and a persistent trough in the Midwest. This should spell out pleasant and dry weather with no chances for rain/snow and day after day of sunshine.

For the second week in a row, rather quiet and warm late-summer (and dare we say…early fall) conditions with exist across the Front Range. We’ve only got one slight chance of rain to talk about. Otherwise, we’ll see drought conditions worsen and wildfire smoke linger across the area.

With the exception of a weak cool front around midweek, it’s all about a high pressure ridge that will keep us warmer than average and dry with virtually no clouds until the weekend. We are also keeping an eye on the wildfire smoke over the Pacific Northwest and discuss when it may return.
