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.

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.
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.
Get ready for a classic early summer setup—plenty of warmth, a hint of storm potential, a bit of wildfire smoke, and maybe even the year’s first 90-degree day(s) for the Front Range. While the week starts off dry and sunny, a few scattered storms will make an appearance midweek, adding a little variety to the forecast. By the weekend, the heat cranks up as a strong ridge sends hot air northward into Colorado.
As we step into the first full week of June, get ready for more cool and wet weather in the Front Range! A promising rain event kicks off the week Monday afternoon through midday Tuesday, with a cold front bringing much cooler temperatures and widespread showers and storms. Rain chances will linger through much of the week ahead, though uncertainty remains on exactly how things will unfold from midweek onwards. Expect highs to drop from the 80s Monday into the 50s Tuesday, and continue to run below average the rest of the week. If you were hoping for a dry stretch for early June, you might need to adjust your plans—keep those umbrellas handy!
