This Week in Colorado Weather: May 29, 2023

May 29, 2023 / Andy

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!

This Week in Colorado Weather: May 15, 2023

May 15, 2023 / Andy

After a cool and wet weekend, this week starts out with a trend toward the drier and warmer side as a departing trough will give way to ridging across the Rockies. While chances of showers and storms will exist each and every day, the best chance won’t arrive until later in the week as a cold front and deep trough dig down from the north on Thursday. This front could also bring the threat of heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and a slight risk of severe weather to eastern Colorado. Temperatures will tumble back below normal to end the week.

Storm Recap: Plowable hail, tornadoes, Mountain snow, flooding, and the biggest deluge of rain since the 2013 Flood

This was undoubtedly a wild week in Front Range weather — but one which resulted in multiple good outcomes. The extreme severe weather outbreak planned for midweek got partially busted by low clouds and fog which may have ultimately saved it from becoming the costliest hailstorm in state history. Further, the deluge of rain that dumped to close out the week will go a long way towards eradicating much of the ongoing drought in the eastern half of the state. Let’s take a look back at this crazy week in Colorado weather!
