A recap of yesterday’s hailstorms, a discussion of today’s forecast which contains more hail, and a look at the eye of Category 4 Hurricane Bud from GOES-16.
Today was the 17th consecutive day of above average temperatures and dry conditions in Boulder and Denver. It’s about time for a change…don’t you think? Several atmospheric ingredients will be coming together over the next several days to bring cloud cover, much cooler temperatures, and the potential for significant rainfall to the state of Colorado. The atmospheric moisture content statewide will be close to all-time record levels for the month of June. With so much moisture involved, some areas could see heavy rainfall capable of producing flash flooding. Read on for details.
A favorable atmospheric set-up will help to funnel the remnants of Hurricane Bud, currently churning off the coast of western Mexico, into Colorado over the upcoming weekend. We discuss the impacts this will have for the Front Range and the rest of the state.
A brief reprieve from the heat will begin our week thanks to a cold frontal passage. Unfortunately, it won’t last long with temperatures quickly returning back into the 90’s. We also discuss a potential wet upcoming weekend dependent upon how the remnants of Hurricane Bud evolve over the coming days. Read on for more details.
We provide a final forecast update as rain and snow descend on the Front Range with an updated snowfall forecast map.
As we mentioned in our weekly outlook, a true atmospheric river event is underway, pumping deep tropical moisture into the southwestern United States right now! The moisture influx will mainly be impacting California and Nevada, but Colorado won’t escape totally unscathed. Plus we take a look ahead to a soggy/snowy forecast for early next week.
It now appears we may be headed into our second consecutive La Niña winter. We discuss the forecast, remind you what La Niña actually is, and explain potential impacts on Colorado for this winter.
