We’ve managed to dodge the nineties so far in 2024, but that bout of good fortune will run out later this week with multiple days soaring above 90 degrees. Read on for all the details.

2024 began very soggy across the Front Range, but the month of May did a complete one-eighty concluding as Boulder’s driest in 50 years and 2nd driest since record-keeping began in the late 1800s.

Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during May and how it relates to climatology.

A pair of severe, supercell thunderstorms exploded across the northern Front Range late Thursday evening with very little advanced notice for residents. Hail larger than baseballs caused significant property damage on the northern and northeastern Metro area — roofing, siding, car windows and gardens stood no chance against the onslaught. The hail repair and insurance scammers are probably already knocking on doors this morning or making cold calls! We take a look at where the largest hail fell and why the forecast was so poor.

May 20, 2024 / Ben Castellani

Mother Nature will continue to pummel the western United States with storm systems this week, including plenty of activity here in the Front Range. Monday will provide the most substantial severe weather outbreak in Colorado so far in 2024, but fortunately that will go down east of the Denver Metro area. Another system will bring a good chance of widespread rain for us Tuesday alongside chilly temperatures. The rest of the week into the weekend will stay somewhat active with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms. Read on for all the details.
