Today begins a trend towards warmer and drier weather for the Front Range as high pressure gets established over Arizona and slowly slides eastward through the rest of the week. A wiggly ridge axis exists across the Rockies this morning which will bring in warmer temperatures and subsident motion leading to calm weather overall. All is quiet across Colorado this …
Amore active pattern returns for the end of the weekend as the mid-levels bring a shortwave into the area. A disturbance will be tracking southeast from Wyoming into Nebraska tonight and into Monday morning. A moist atmosphere will be in place as well with above normal precipitable water values. This should favor a 30-40% chance of showers and storms this …

That will aid in sinking motion, limiting overall shower coverage and favoring a drier day. The GEFS precipitation forecast also shows this, with fewer members showing precipitation in Boulder. The same scenario is similar for Sunday, but an uptick …

The one shift today will be the influx of more moisture from the south leading to a slightly better chance of late-day thundershowers. The remnants of once Tropical Storm Harold are on the …

Boulder bested the existing record set 63 years ago by a single degree. Today won't be quite as hot but it will still be plenty warm as an insanely strong concentric ridge of high …
The very anomalously hot ridge (near 600 dm!!) is situated over eastern Kansas today. The moist axis from yesterday that was over north-central to northeast Colorado is long north and west of our state this afternoon. As a result, it will be a hot and dry day with middle 90s and full sunshine. A hot and dry airmass will cover …
