If you can believe it, Friday’s high temperatures was only in the 70’s across the lower elevations. What a gorgeous day! However, the brief cooldown will quickly be replaced by yet another heatwave in Front Range Colorado. This one will be stronger and longer than the last. Let’s discuss just how hot it will get, our concerns about new wildfires, and when the heatwave may finally relax.
The week ahead will be drier compared to recent times, but we won’t necessarily call it dry. Storm chances, though meager, will exist from Tuesday onwards, with our best shot at rain in the latter part of the week boosted by a cold front. A more unsettled pattern with increasing chances of storms will arrive for the weekend.
Another week in May, another series of slow-moving spring storm systems for Colorado! The forecast Monday through Wednesday will be cool and gloomy with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms with even the threat for small hail and locally heavy rainfall. After the one nice day of the week on Thursday, another storm will approach late in the week bringing the chance of rain again alongside somewhat cooler temperatures. Read on for our complete outlook of the unsettled stretch ahead.
After our first real taste of summer the last few days, the weather will revert to more seasonal conditions Sunday into Monday. For Front Range Colorado in early May, that means severe weather, soaking rainfall and snow in the higher terrain. Let’s take a look at the latest on the stormy, soggy and snowy weather about to unfold!
We continue the cool, monsoonal stretch with 80’s for the majority of the week. We are watching a weak system to affect northeast Colorado through Thursday, bringing our best chance of storms on Tuesday. Will the 90’s rear their ugly head for the first weekend in August? We discuss this and more in our weekly outlook.
June 2020 may have seemed like another hot mess of a month, and well, it mostly was. However, it had plenty of other memorable moments, too. Who can forget the historic derecho? How about the half foot of snow that fell in the Mountains in the middle of the month? Here’s a quick and colorful recap of our weather during the month of June and how it relates to climatology.
Were you caught off-guard by the historic wind storm that swept across Colorado on Saturday? This type of widespread, damaging wind event is known as a derecho. What transpired on Saturday was the first in recorded history to impact Boulder and Denver. We take a look at the low pressure that caused the event, the astonishing wind reports from across the area, and discuss why this may have been the first and last derecho we ever experience.
