September is finally upon us — what a great time of the year this is in Colorado! Mother Nature will deliver rather varied weather this week in the Front Range. Hot temperatures and high pressure will give way to a Pacific trough by midweek. Clouds will be on the increase alongside the risk of severe thunderstorms for Wednesday, with even a touch of snow in our highest elevations. Things will clear out nicely for the upcoming weekend leading to gorgeous and seasonal late-summer conditions. Read on for all the details.

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.
Recent monsoon rains have brought some improvement in the ongoing drought across our area. However, the weather this week in the Front Range will largely be focused around the passage of a couple dry cold fronts with minimal rainfall expected. Although temperatures will fluctuate from the upper 70s to the lower 90s at times, most of the week will hover near or slightly above normal. As we head into the upcoming holiday weekend, storm chances will increase somewhat as moisture-rich flow tries to re-exert itself over our area. All this and more in our latest weekly outlook!
The Southwest Monsoon will remain active across Colorado this week with the best chances for rainfall coming Wednesday through Friday in the Front Range. Storm chances will be greatest across the Mountains with better forcing, upslope, and unstable air leading to a slight risk of flash flooding there. Temperatures during the week in the Denver Metro area will remain near or above normal, but fortunately nothing too hot. Let’s take a look.
Rain chances in the Front Range will be front-loaded this week with a moist monsoonal flow in place. Temperatures will consequently hover near average in the 80s with plentiful clouds and storms developing each day, some of which could cause localized flash flooding. Rain chances will remain for the latter part of the week, but coverage lessens significantly as drier air is forecast to move in. We’ll also likely see the return to the 90s by week’s end. Read on for all the details.
Our scorching hot, two-week-long heatwave will finally come to an end later this week, but not before we endure a few more days. A cold front is slated to arrive into the Denver area late Wednesday finally knocking us out of the 90s. This front will also come with an enhanced chance of rainfall, though monsoon moisture is still largely lacking. Despite daily chances for rain this week, our existing fires will continue to smolder and the risk of new fire ignitions remains uncomfortably high.
Fortunately, as of last Friday afternoon, the wildfire smoke from Canada has cleared out of our area. However, this week will feature new weather challenges in Colorado, with the primary story being a brutally hot, dry and extended heatwave, with a secondary concern being the return of thicker smoke later in the week. Let’s take a look!
After a cool and unsettled past several days, the week ahead turns much drier, notably hotter, and quite hazy with Canadian wildfire smoke engulfing the Front Range. Rain chances will be limited through the week as the monsoon stays largely suppressed. We will return to the 90s as early as Tuesday, perhaps nearing 100 degrees by week’s end. When is our best chance of rain, how hot will it get and when will our air quality finally improve? Let’s take a look!
After days of scorching heat, this week will fortunately trend cooler and wetter with the return of monsoon moisture to Colorado — perfect timing considering severe drought has now returned to the area and fire danger continues to explode. Following one more toasty outing on Monday, temperatures will tumble below normal by midweek with daily chances for monsoon thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. We review the ongoing heatwave, the recent Dinosaur Fire in Boulder, why the pattern is now shifting and look ahead to which days will offer the best chance of rain this week.
