July 17, 2023 / Ben Castellani

The weather this week in the Front Range will have two contrasting primary themes. A heat dome cooking beneath a large ridge of high pressure off to our southwest will push temperatures towards record highs Monday and Tuesday. However, the rest of the week will exhibit a cooling trend with increasing chances for late-day thunderstorms as several backdoor cold fronts team up with increasing monsoonal moisture. Yes, the famed monsoon season is about to commence! In typical fashion though, there will also be a risk of some severe weather mixed in. Let’s take a look at what should be yet another interesting weather week…
