June has begun exceptionally wet across the Front Range and that trend will live on this week with continued cool and rainy weather expected throughout the extended forecast. Wednesday and Thursday look to be the wettest days in the pipeline, but every single day this week will carry at least the risk of scattered storms alongside a minor risk of localized flooding. Things may finally dry out and warm up next week but don’t count on it. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead in Colorado.
May 2023 dumped more than five inches of rain on Boulder and concluded as the 11th wettest May since the late 1800s. Though there were no exceptionally warm days, the month did see an above normal mean temperature, breaking a streak of cold months stretching back to November. Other monthly headlines included multiple severe weather outbreaks and of course the thick wildfire smoke from Canada which created days of degraded air quality. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during May and how it relates to climatology.
The month of May will end with several days of highs in the 80s. This warmth will be felt largely into midweek as ridging extends into the Front Range area. Although the chance of showers and storms will exist early in the week, the better chances crops up from Wednesday onward as a closed low pressure lifts into the region. This system may linger into the early part of the weekend and there could be some risk of excessive rainfall. Read on for our full outlook of this abbreviated holiday work-week.
The story since late last week has been the infiltration of smoke into the Front Range from distant but numerous Canadian wildfires. That trend will unfortunately continue early in the week with light to moderate smoke sticking around through at least Tuesday or Wednesday leading to degraded air quality. Fortunately, the pattern will shift midweek whisking away the smoke and changing the headlines to rain and thunderstorms for a few days. Let’s take a look at what is sure to be another interesting week in Colorado weather!
