The posts contain discussion of severe weather in our region, including forecasts, outlooks, and recaps of events involving large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.
As May comes to a close, the sizzling heat is about to begin across the Front Range with the official beginning of meteorological summer on Wednesday. We take a look at trends in climatology and offer our predictions for the month of June in Boulder.
As a sizable upper-level low approaches from the west, the ingredients are coming together to summon the return of severe weather to the region Saturday afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible, with a few tornadoes not out of the question as well. We detail when and where we believe the greatest threat exists, and give our forecast for Mother’s Day.
With epic snowstorms, record warmth, and an ultra-rare tornado, this year had a little of everything. We take a look back at 2015’s whirlwind of weather across Boulder County, the state of Colorado and the lands beyond.
After a gorgeous Sunday across the entire Boulder area, the heat returns as the ridge of high pressure rebuilds from the south. By midweek, a system approaches, bringing a chance of storms back into our forecast. The past week has also been quite hazy/smoky, most prominently on Saturday. When will the smoke clear? Read on to find out!
The weather across our region has been relatively uneventful over the course of the last month, with much of the West sitting beneath a broad, upper-level ridge and monsoon moisture hard to come by. That changes this week! The week ahead will showcase a, dare we say, (early) fall-like weather feature that will bring a big cool down and a good chance of rain (and possibly severe weather) to Boulder County. However, 90s will make an reappearance at some point. Read on to find out when!
Monsoon moisture returns for the first half of the week, after a relatively dry August so far. Temperatures will start off cool in the 80’s with gradual warming into the low 90’s by Friday. The annual Perseid meteor shower is slated to peak on Wednesday evening after midnight. Read on to find out how many shooting stars will be visible and if the weather of Boulder County will cooperate!
With little in the way of synoptic forcing, the monsoon will dominate our weather pattern this week, with a chance of storms each and every day. However, some days will be drier than others. Read on to find out which ones!
During Episode 5 of the BoulderCAST Podcast, the hosts discussed the size classifications of severe hail, but only briefly mentioned how meteorologists are able to estimate that size from radar. Alex V., a follower from Lafayette, contacted us for more information on the topic, so we thought we would share!
