September 2025 brought a classic Colorado blend to Boulder and the Front Range: near-normal temps, wetter-than-average skies, and a lively mix of sunshine and storms. A standout precipitation event around the 23rd delivered soaking rain in the lowlands and the first real coating of snow to the Mountains. The month eased us gently into autumn, with crisp mornings, comfortable afternoons, and brilliant foliage lighting up the higher terrain. And yes—who could forget that dramatic wave of Canadian wildfire smoke that swept through, reminding us how connected we are to the broader arid landscape of western North America. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.
Thursday’s shaping up to be a busy weather day across the Front Range. We’re looking at hot temperatures, gusty winds, and a cold front arriving by evening that’ll bring a noticeable drop in temps — along with a wave of wildfire smoke. We’ll walk through what to expect today, how the weekend is shaping up, and whether any moisture from Hurricane Lorena might sneak into the region.
September kicks off with a mellow vibe across the Front Range — warm days and mostly dry skies are expected. But don’t let the quiet start fool you. Between drifting wildfire smoke, sneaky cold fronts, and a potential tropical system by the weekend, there’s more nuance in our forecast this week than meets the eye. Read on as we break down what to expect day by day, plus what might shake things up by the weekend.
