Spring’s grip on our wet season is loosening, and the atmosphere is starting to hint at the drier pattern ahead — but not before we squeeze out a few more days of spotty storm potential. This week brings a mix of low‑end daily rain chances, early‑week severe storms, and a slow warm‑up that could push us toward our first 90° reading of the year by the weekend. Read on as we break down what to expect as we ride out this transitional stretch of early June.

These weekly forecast posts are published EVERY Monday morning and provide a general overview of the atmosphere and the weather conditions for the week ahead in Front Range Colorado. We give you a heads-up on the major short-term weather features and anything looming down the road.
A slow‑moving Pacific storm settling in across the West will set the stage for a classic late‑May stretch along the Front Range — warm afternoons, building clouds, and hit‑or‑miss late day showers and thunderstorms. While no day looks like a washout, the pattern does get more interesting mid‑week as deeper moisture sneaks in and storm chances tick upward. We break down what to expect, which day carries the best shot at rain, and how temperatures will swing as the broader system drifts our way.
After a devastating spring snowstorm barely more than a week ago, a slow‑moving May storm parked itself over the northern Front Range, wringing out 1–2 inches of moisture and dropping a fresh blanket of wet snow in the Foothills — all without giving the lower elevations any freezing temperatures. For mid‑May, that’s about as friendly as a storm of this size gets. And with the larger‑scale trough refusing to budge, we’re not done yet: this week will feature more daily shower chances through Friday before drier, warmer weather returns just in time for the holiday weekend. Read on for all the details.
A warm, summer-like pattern is about to take over the Front Range in the middle of May. This week’s weather is driven by a robust mid‑level ridge anchored over the Desert Southwest, producing strong subsidence and a sustained warm anomaly across Colorado. A weak cold front on Tuesday will briefly cool us off, but its effect will be short-lived, with near-record heat building back in by midweek. Rain chances through the extended period remains quite low given the setup, but the late-week period is somewhat uncertain. We break down the dynamics driving this pattern and the implications it will have for the Denver–Boulder corridor through this warm, mostly dry stretch ahead.
As April winds down, several moisture‑rich systems are lining up along the Front Range, each bringing a mix of clouds, cooler temperatures, rain, and Mountain snow. Most days the forecast is straightforward, but one late‑week setup has quite variable outcomes. If you want to know when the dreariest stretches will be, how much moisture we can realistically expect, and when warmer weather will return, read on for all the details.
The atmosphere is gearing up for a dramatic mid‑week pivot, and the Front Range is about to feel every bit of it. We start the week under a warm, bone‑dry ridge that will send temperatures soaring and fire danger spiking—especially by Wednesday, when downslope winds and exceptional dryness are set to collide. But just as quickly, the pattern will flip. A pair of incoming troughs will drag us into a cooler, unsettled stretch of weather heading into the weekend, with several chances for much‑needed moisture and even the prospect of a few snowflakes mixing in at times. It’s a true tale of two patterns this week! Read on for all the details.
As we roll into mid‑April, the Front Range finally snaps back into an active pattern with fire danger, two storm systems, and even a shot at late‑season snow all packed into one busy week. From warm, windy days to Mountain snow and the possibility of flakes reaching the Denver–Boulder corridor by Friday, there’s a lot happening in the days ahead. Read on for all the details.
This week leans warm and deceptively calm across the Front Range, but there’s more going on under the hood than the mild afternoons suggest. A couple of brief cold fronts, a parade of passing shortwaves, and even a midweek fire‑weather setup all take turns shaping our pattern. Rain chances stay meager, frost may sneak in early Tuesday, and late‑week energy could stir up a few isolated showers. We break down what to expect—and what not to count on—in our latest weekly outlook.
