Get ready — we’ll have shades of both summer and fall this week! An anomalous ridge of high pressure over the southern Great Plains will lead to a dry and hot first few days. However, a strong storm system out West and its attendant cold front will bring well below normal temperatures and rain showers Wednesday into Thursday, our first taste autumn perhaps. The late-week period will turn more seasonal for Colorado. Read on for all the details.

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.
After setting multiple record high temperatures during the heatwave last week followed by a pleasantly cooler weekend, this week our temperatures will stay mostly above normal with some chances for rain mixed in as the remnants of Hurricane Kay pass across the Rockies. The week will end warm and mostly dry with that same trend continuing through the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead for the Front Range.
The ongoing brutal heatwave will continue for Labor Day and through the first full week of September. A strong and anomalous ridge parks itself over the Utah region through Thursday resulting in hot and dry weather in the 90s across the Denver area. Record highs are likely under this setup and we may even see some triple digits at times as well. The light at the end of the tunnel is a welcomed cold front currently scheduled to arrive on Friday.
After a couple cooler weeks, a new ridge of high pressure will form over Utah and dominate the extended forecast across the Front Range leading to a lengthy stretch of 90-degree days accompanied by little to no rainfall. The upcoming Labor Day weekend looks pretty nice across the area as the warmth continues but with some storms popping up in the Mountains. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead.
Drier weather takes hold for most of the Front Range through about midweek as high pressure and reduced moisture move in. The latter half of the week will feature an uptick in storm chances with a series of disturbances moving into the area. Temperatures will largely stay close to normal in the 80s as monsoon season comes to an end for northeast Colorado. Read on for more details.
We kick off the week with a deluge of monsoon moisture setting the stage for potential heavy rain and flash flooding on Monday. The rest of week turns drier but at least remains on the cooler side. For once, there isn’t a single 90-degree day in our extended forecast! Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead.
After a soggy Sunday, the weekly outlook turns much drier as a strong ridge of high pressure will dominate Colorado through at least Thursday. The hottest days ahead, likely landing in the mid to even upper 90s, are favored towards the end of the week. Monsoonal moisture looks to return by the weekend with a better chance of much-needed storms in tow.
If you enjoyed the hot and mostly dry weather that dominated the month of July in the Front Range, you’re going to absolutely love the first week of August! High pressure will rebuild over the area this week keeping temperatures well above normal and acting to suppress thunderstorm development most days. The best chance of rain comes on Tuesday, but we also are watching the upcoming weekend when the remnant tropical moisture from Hurricane Frank reaches the area. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead in Colorado!
