After a hot and dry Monday, the rest of the week ahead will see cooler and stormy conditions unfold across the Front Range, the the focus centered on another damaging hail outbreak on the Fourth of July holiday. Much cooler weather arrives Wednesday with at least one cold-related historical record up for grabs. The Southwest monsoon remains delayed with little hope of it arriving anytime soon. Let’s take a look at yet another active week in Colorado weather!
Category: This Week in Colorado Weather (Page 10 of 60)
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.
This last full week of June will feature hot temperatures to start followed by a cooldown late-week along with increasing chances of showers and storms. Ridging will largely be in place early on, but an approaching low pressure system and cold front will return us to more unsettled conditions by week’s end. There will also be some gusty winds Tuesday for raising marginal fire concerns. Read on for all the details.
Whether you like it or not, Front Range Colorado has finally turned a corner on the cool and soggy weather lingering across the area the last few months — just in time for the first day of summer on Wednesday! While the week ahead will offer a few chances for rain, and even some severe storms at times, the overall trend heading into the end of June will be towards drier and hotter weather. Let’s take a look!
We’ve got a stormy start to the week with continued cool temperatures and a risk of hail and flash flooding from slow-moving thunderstorms. Our rain chances will lessen toward the tail end of the week as a mid-level system exits and leaves behind a ridge pattern. On the wildfire front, smoke from fires in western Canada should stay to our north keeping air quality good here in the Front Range. Read on for more details.
June has begun exceptionally wet across the Front Range and that trend will live on this week with continued cool and rainy weather expected throughout the extended forecast. Wednesday and Thursday look to be the wettest days in the pipeline, but every single day this week will carry at least the risk of scattered storms alongside a minor risk of localized flooding. Things may finally dry out and warm up next week but don’t count on it. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead in Colorado.
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!
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.
