As we transition deeper into autumn season, Colorado weather continues to keep us all on our toes. This past weekend, a slow-moving storm system that was expected to bring widespread light precipitation to the Denver Metro area ended up being a tad underwhelming, with the bulk of the moisture staying to our south. While Boulder and Denver received only minimal rainfall, areas of southern Colorado and New Mexico experienced heavy rainfall which led to deadly flash flooding. Looking ahead, this week promises relatively quiet weather for the Front Range, with just a brief cool down scheduled for late week. We’re also tracking an interesting storm in the pipeline for next week which could bring sub-freezing temperatures and potentially some snow to the area just in time for Halloween.
September was an exceptionally warm month in the Front Range, with most areas landing more than four degrees above average. This was our fourth consecutive month that finished on the north side of normal. Outside of a single soaking rain event, the month was also extremely dry with drought expanding further across the area. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.

In this final week of summer, Front Range Colorado will experience a mix of weather conditions. We’re tracking two main chances for rain in the extended: a quick shot of severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and then widespread upslope showers by Friday or Saturday as autumn weather arrives right on schedule. The week will stay warm with temperatures in the 80s, but cooler, unsettled weather is looming for the weekend. Read on for the latest details.
August brought welcomed change to the Front Range with the elusive American Southwest Monsoon finally making a late appearance. While much of the area ended with below normal rainfall in August, it was notably wetter than months prior leading to a slight improvement in the regional drought. It was also hot in August, with overall temperatures and the number of 90-degree days landing above normal. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
September is finally upon us — what a great time of the year this is in Colorado! Mother Nature will deliver rather varied weather this week in the Front Range. Hot temperatures and high pressure will give way to a Pacific trough by midweek. Clouds will be on the increase alongside the risk of severe thunderstorms for Wednesday, with even a touch of snow in our highest elevations. Things will clear out nicely for the upcoming weekend leading to gorgeous and seasonal late-summer conditions. Read on for all the details.
