This week’s Front Range weather headline is yet another late-season spring storm system moving directly across Colorado on Tuesday. This will lead to a couple of very chilly days and more widespread rainfall and clouds for the Metro area. We’re even still talking about snow in the Foothills just west of Boulder. While conditions will improve as the week progresses, the chance of rain remains each day. Read on for our complete forecast of the shortened work-week ahead.
Several factors are coming together this afternoon for a fairly significant severe weather outbreak. Though the focus will be well northeast of the Front Range in Nebraska and South Dakota, storms that develop this afternoon and evening across the Metro area will have the potential to be strong and borderline severe, with hail and strong winds the main threats. We take a look at the forecast for a stormy Friday and the cooler weekend ahead.

Not long ago, 2018 was in the running with 2012 for the hottest summer on record for many Front Range cities. However, a subtle but crucial pattern shift has kept our temperatures on the cool side for the last three weeks, knocking this summer back to a status closer to normal. We discuss this shift and provide an update on our summer forecasting contest which wraps up at the end of the month.
After a rather pleasant weekend with a few storms over the region, this week’s weather will be dominated by northwest flow transitioning to a rare northeasterly flow. What that will spell out is the threat of scattered storms into midweek, followed by dry and seasonal temperatures to end the week as the monsoon becomes fully suppressed. Read on for more details.
