So far this Memorial Day Weekend has brought a mix of welcomed rainfall and intense thunderstorms across the Front Range, with some areas seeing over two inches of rainfall and even hail. While the first half of Monday should be dry for holiday festivities, scattered showers and storms will develop in the afternoon with brief downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. The unsettled pattern continues throughout the week ahead, with Wednesday and Thursday offering the highest storm chances, fueled by lingering atmospheric energy. However, as we approach the weekend, a shift toward warmer and drier conditions is expected, with highs climbing into the lower 80s and fewer storms impacting the region.
Sunday’s storms brought a slew of severe weather to northeast Colorado, including a photogenic tornado east of Denver. This week will be relatively quiet, but there is still plenty to discuss. Monday will stay cool and showery, but drier and warmer weather is on-tap for the rest of the week. However, a weekend trough will threaten to shake things up again—could the Memorial Day Weekend forecast include stormy skies? Read on for all the details.
