The week ahead is one typical for the last week of May. We have some warmer days, some cooler ones and chances for rain throughout the forecast. Let’s take a look!
Thanks to the interplay between a potent trough and ridge, our temperatures will soar into the 80’s to start the third week of May, followed by a late-week “cool” down. Weather stays overall dry but there is some severe weather potential to speak of for eastern Colorado.
In typical May fashion, a rather unsettled week lies ahead with chances of rain and thick clouds expected nearly every day. Temperatures start out chilly on Monday but will moderate back closer to normal the rest of the week despite continued wet weather.
Temperatures this week will be hover right around normal for early May. We are watching a few cold fronts, especially one late in the work week, that will trend us cooler for the upcoming weekend. The last piece of the puzzle, precipitation, will be rather scarce this week.

Temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above average will be the norm to start the first full week of April. Beyond this, we’re watching for a cool-down come Wednesday, along with a chance of unsettled weather for Thursday. A gradual chillier pattern looks to develop for the upcoming weekend.
