The Front Range is heading into a stretch of intense summer heat this week, with a dominant high-pressure system set to lock Colorado into several days of sizzling temperatures and dry skies. Expect highs in the mid to upper 90s every day through Friday. While Boulder isn’t guaranteed to break any record high temperatures, past patterns suggest we could run hotter than models are currently predicting—something worth watching as it would bump up the heat risks in the Metro area. Relief is on the horizon, though: a cold front late Friday should bring a sharp cooldown just in time for the weekend with at least low-end chances for storms returning.

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.
With record-challenging heat to start and a dramatic cooldown looming midweek, Colorado’s weather is shifting gears—and fast. A powerful ridge is driving us toward 100° on Monday, but it won’t stick around. By midweek, cooler temperatures and increased rain chances roll in, possibly delivering relief via much-needed moisture. We break down the evolving setup, the timing of the incoming cold front, and what it could mean for rainfall totals, flash flooding risk, and your week ahead.
After a hot and mostly dry Monday, the Front Range is in store for a wetter stretch midweek, with an uptick in monsoonal moisture and storm activity. A favorable upper-air pattern and midweek cold front will drive daily thunderstorm chances and potential flash flooding, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Conditions will trend hotter and drier into the weekend and next week, exacerbating the ongoing drought and fire risk in the High Country.
Monsoon season may have officially started earlier this month, but it’s off to a sluggish and lack-luster beginning across Colorado. Boulder has seen frequent storms—yet little meaningful rain—and wildfire smoke from the Western Slope and neighboring states is starting to pool to our west. A cold front arriving Tuesday night will bring cooler temps and a bump in thunderstorm chances for Wednesday, followed by a promising shift toward a more classic monsoonal setup Thursday through the weekend ahead with continued daily storms. This week, we’re tracking some heat, smoky haze, and hopefully, a few solid soakings of rain.
It’s going to be a scorcher across the Front Range this week—with temperatures climbing fast and flirting with triple digits by midweek. But just as the heat peaks, a pattern shift arrives that will bring cooler weather and a chance of storms again by Friday. Read on for all our full outlook of the weather week ahead.
Monsoon season kicks off right on time this week, bringing a steady stream of moisture from Mexico into the Southwest and central Rockies. While daily storm chances are on tap for the Front Range, coverage looks hit-or-miss, with Wednesday shaping up to be the warmest and driest day. Expect highs ranging from the 70s to mid-90s as the pattern evolves. We also need to keep an eye on the forecast heading into Fourth of July weekend as scattered storms will be in the mix.
Colorado’s scorcher of a weekend is finally giving way to cooler, stormier skies—and not a moment too soon. After record-breaking highs in Boulder and Denver, a refreshing cold front kicks off the week with below-normal temps and a solid chance for showers and storms, especially Tuesday when things could turn severe. But don’t get too cozy—the heat will make a comeback late in the week into the weekend. Here’s what you need to know about Colorado’s weather during this final week of June.
Record-breaking temperatures will be the story this week in the Front Range, though there’s plenty more to discuss. While a brief cooldown is on the way Tuesday, it comes with a catch—a chance for severe storms, depending on how quickly low clouds clear up. Then, just as we get a break, another scorching heatwave arrives on Thursday through the upcoming weekend, with several days of triple-digit temperatures that will shatter records. Let’s dive into the details.
