After a fairly wet weekend, this week starts off drier as monsoon moisture gets shunted away to the south. This change will be accompanied by near-average temperatures in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. Following a stronger cold front, an unsettled and cooler pattern will take hold for the end of the week with temperatures dropping back into the 70s. For once, our weekly outlook does not include any extreme heat!

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.
Another brutally hot week is expected across the Front Range with a ridge of high pressure staying the course over Colorado. With this, temperatures will remain above normal for the next six days or more, including a couple chances at reaching triple digits. Thunderstorms will be around throughout the week, but as usual they will be fairly spotty and will offer little reprieve from the ongoing heatwave and drought. A slight pattern shift early next week should revive the monsoon for the Desert Southwest, but whether that propagates into Colorado remains to be seen.
The week starts off cooler than normal and a breath of fresh air behind a frontal passage. The reprieve from the heat is short-lived, unfortunately, as a strong mid-level ridge of high pressure builds back in as the week progresses. This pattern change will lead to temperatures getting hot once again to near the century mark by week’s end, along with increasing afternoon/evening storms in the monsoonal flow.
We hope you had a great Fourth! The Southwest monsoon remains active through the middle part of the week with good chances for rain in Boulder and Denver, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Unfortunately, the pattern shifts late in the week suppressing the flow of monsoon moisture into Colorado. This will cause drying for us, but also a spike into triple-digit temperatures for the weekend. Read on for our full outlook of the week and weekend ahead.
The heat returns this week, but thankfully so do the storm chances. Highs start out near normal but reach potential record highs by midweek. Our storm chances increase Wednesday through Friday as better moisture spreads into the state, some of which will be tied to Tropical Storm Celia off the Baja coastline. Read on for all the details.
After a rather humid, sticky week and weekend, the weather will shift Monday with winds and drier air persisting through the first half of the week. Afternoon thunderstorm chances are quite low, but increase towards the weekend with a major pattern shift in store for the weekend which could bring some moisture and a drop in temperatures.
The ongoing heatwave will last through Monday with near-record high temperatures expected once again. A welcomed cold front Monday night will offer a reprieve from the heat for a couple days, but the sizzling temperatures return in full-force later in the week. We’ll largely be dry the entire week ahead. However, signs are pointing towards a surge of subtropical moisture during the upcoming weekend into the Four Corners region. This will bring the chance of late-day thunderstorms back into the Front Range.
A series of subtle disturbances through midweek with an approaching cold front will favor increased chances of scattered showers and storms Monday through Wednesday. Highs will largely reside near normal through this period. A ridge of high pressure will start to settle into Colorado by the end of the week, resulting in drier conditions and intensifying heat.
