A welcomed cool-down will transpire early in the week as a strong Pacific trough moves across the Rockies. However, accompanying the cooler temperatures will be very strong winds Monday evening and night, as well as widespread rain and even some wet snow in the higher elevations. By mid-week, yet another ridge of high pressure will begin to take shape leading to a warming and drying trend for the Front Range.

It’s been a while since we provided a forecast update for a significant weather event, but here we are. A potent and surprisingly cold spring storm is taking aim on the area with quite a bit of moisture set to drop over the next 36 hours. We take a look at timing of the cold rain, potential rainfall amounts, and discuss which areas may even see a little bit of late-season snow.

Thanks to the interplay between a potent trough and ridge, our temperatures will soar into the 80’s to start the third week of May, followed by a late-week “cool” down. Weather stays overall dry but there is some severe weather potential to speak of for eastern Colorado.

Not surprisingly, many of you are outdoor-oriented and we get asked this question a lot. If you look out the window and see low clouds or fog blanketing your area, there is a decent chance that some or all of the peaks just west of town are soaking in the sun, but not always. We walk you through the process of how to determine the elevation of the top of the cloud deck and how it relates to the hiking options near Boulder and Denver.
