After a soggy Sunday, the weekly outlook turns much drier as a strong ridge of high pressure will dominate Colorado through at least Thursday. The hottest days ahead, likely landing in the mid to even upper 90s, are favored towards the end of the week.

July 2022, a month that falls in the heart of monsoon season, ended up fairly hot and dry across much of the Front Range as a ridge of high pressure dominated our weather. Raindrops were a frequent occurrence, at least in Boulder, but ultimately they didn’t add up to much. A wave of thunderstorms towards the latter part of the month provided soaking rains to much of the Denver area, “saving”many locations from worsening drought for the time being. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during July and how it relates to climatology.

If you enjoyed the hot and mostly dry weather that dominated the month of July in the Front Range, you’re going to absolutely love the first week of August! High pressure will rebuild over the area this week keeping temperatures well above normal and acting to suppress thunderstorm development most days. The best chance of rain comes on Tuesday, but we also are watching the upcoming weekend when the remnant tropical moisture from Hurricane Frank reaches the area.
