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!

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!

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.
