Both anticipated weather changes for our area have arrived overnight and are conveniently visible from the same east-facing Eldora webcam timelapse this morning. Yes, we're of course talking about the moist cold front from the northeast that blew in around 3AM, which has spawned low clouds and patchy fog across the lower elevations, and the influx of lofted wildfire smoke …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Tue 07/15/25 | Hot and mostly dry today, wildfire smoke and a cold front blow in tonight

We’re still sitting under the influence of high pressure to our west today, but a weather system moving in from the northwest is knocking on the northern Rockies’ door — and it's set to stir things up over the next few days. This morning, skies are crystal clear over the Front Range, thanks to a batch of dry air overhead. …

This Week in Colorado Weather: July 14, 2025

Monsoon season may have officially started earlier this month, but it’s off to a sluggish and lack-luster beginning across Colorado. Boulder has seen frequent storms—yet little meaningful rain—and wildfire smoke from the Western Slope and neighboring states is starting to pool to our west. A cold front arriving Tuesday night will bring cooler temps and a bump in thunderstorm chances for Wednesday, followed by a promising shift toward a more classic monsoonal setup Thursday through the weekend ahead with continued daily storms.

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Sun 06/29/25 | Severe storms may fire Sunday afternoon along an uncertain cold front

Forecast models aren’t exactly in sync right now, so we’re watching a few key ingredients that could shape how this afternoon and evening unfold. Top of that list: a cold front currently stalled out over northern Colorado. This front is expected to …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Tue 06/24/25 | Scattered severe thunderstorms this afternoon, hail up to 2″ the main threat

All signs are pointing toward a textbook setup for strong to severe convection across northeast Colorado today. Yesterday’s high in Boulder only reached the upper 60s following a frontal passage, and that cooler, moisture-laden airmass remains firmly in place under continued southeasterly upslope flow.
