The posts contain discussion of severe weather in our region, including forecasts, outlooks, and recaps of events involving large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.
In this final week of summer, Front Range Colorado will experience a mix of weather conditions. We’re tracking two main chances for rain in the extended: a quick shot of severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and then widespread upslope showers by Friday or Saturday as autumn weather arrives right on schedule. The week will stay warm with temperatures in the 80s, but cooler, unsettled weather is looming for the weekend. Read on for the latest details.
August brought welcomed change to the Front Range with the elusive American Southwest Monsoon finally making a late appearance. While much of the area ended with below normal rainfall in August, it was notably wetter than months prior leading to a slight improvement in the regional drought. It was also hot in August, with overall temperatures and the number of 90-degree days landing above normal. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
September is finally upon us — what a great time of the year this is in Colorado! Mother Nature will deliver rather varied weather this week in the Front Range. Hot temperatures and high pressure will give way to a Pacific trough by midweek. Clouds will be on the increase alongside the risk of severe thunderstorms for Wednesday, with even a touch of snow in our highest elevations. Things will clear out nicely for the upcoming weekend leading to gorgeous and seasonal late-summer conditions. Read on for all the details.
Recent monsoon rains have brought some improvement in the ongoing drought across our area. However, the weather this week in the Front Range will largely be focused around the passage of a couple dry cold fronts with minimal rainfall expected. Although temperatures will fluctuate from the upper 70s to the lower 90s at times, most of the week will hover near or slightly above normal. As we head into the upcoming holiday weekend, storm chances will increase somewhat as moisture-rich flow tries to re-exert itself over our area. All this and more in our latest weekly outlook!
NOTICE: Due to unexpected travel, our usual weekly outlook discussion will be published a day later on Tuesday this week. Please check back tomorrow for the latest on Front Range weather. Early week weather highlights are as follows:
⦁❶⦁ A narrow plume of monsoon moisture will fuel numerous thunderstorms across the Front Range on Monday during the afternoon and evening
⦁❷⦁ Favorable shear will also be present increasing the risk for severe storms — heavy rainfall and golf ball-sized hail are the primary concerns, but damaging winds and a couple tornadoes also possible
⦁❸⦁ High temperatures reach the upper 80s in the afternoon before the storms cool us off
⦁❹⦁ Tuesday will be the only completely dry day this week as temperatures rebound back well into the 90s
⦁❺⦁ Thunderstorms will be in the forecast Wednesday and beyond with 30-50% chances each day
