May 2020 had pockets of interesting weather mixed in with atypically longer dry periods. Here’s a quick and colorful recap of our weather during the month of May and how it relates to climatology.
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.
Damaging hail fell across northern portions of the Metro area Wednesday evening. The storm system responsible is already out the door, with a lengthy period of sunshine about to overtake our forecast.
This week we discuss warmer than normal temperatures through Wednesday, followed by slightly cooler weather to end the week. As something to look forward to, the upcoming weekend is shaping up to be rather pleasant!
Today’s forecast calls for a rapid transition from low clouds to severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail across the Denver Metro area. We also discuss the cooler temperatures.
We begin the first full-week of August on the hot side but trend slightly cooler as the week wears on thanks to monsoon moisture returning back into the area from the southwest. Read on for more details.
The last week of July will feature very seasonal weather in the Front Range as a stationary ridge of high pressure remains across the southern Rockies. While initially suppressed, monsoon moisture will make its way back into Colorado by mid-week. As a result, hot and dry conditions will transition stormier as the week wears on.
Monsoon season has geared up across Colorado! As a result, the chance of thunderstorms will persist in our forecast throughout the week bringing the threat of heavy downpours and localized flooding at times. We also discuss a gradual warming trend with temperatures soon returning to the 90’s.
