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.
Another boring week of weather is set to unfold across the Front Range as Colorado remains trapped in a dry and stagnant weather pattern. Sunshine and unseasonable warmth will be the story this week across the area as a result. While there was some potential for things to change this upcoming weekend, that no longer appears to be the case. There’s no rain (or snow) anywhere in pipeline — heck there’s barely any clouds! Let’s take a look…
The week ahead will remain somewhat cooler and drier than normal as a weak trough stays entrenched and monsoon moisture continues to be difficult to come by. However, a favorable setup for severe thunderstorms will exist across northeast Colorado early in the week with hail the main risk. Overall temperatures will stay mostly below normal in the days ahead but they will trend back towards 90 degrees by week’s end.
Temperatures and precipitation ended up about as close to normal as possible for July in Boulder. The month began active with numerous severe weather outbreaks, some of which produced landspout tornadoes in parts of Denver. The last few weeks turned up the heat with a total of fifteen 90-degree days during the month. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during July and how it relates to climatology.
