The week begins warm and sunny, but don’t be fooled as an autumn cold front is looming. Our coldest day in more than four months is developing for Tuesday alongside low clouds and drizzle. However, the end of the week will see above normal temperatures return.

These posts take a look back at recent weather events, like snow storms or severe weather outbreaks, and evaluate how the forecast played out. We evaluate how well the models predicted what actually occurred, and offer insight into what can be learned and applied moving forward.
Damaging hail fell across northern portions of the Metro area Wednesday evening. The storm system responsible is already out the door, with a lengthy period of sunshine about to overtake our forecast.
Labor Day 2019 was Denver’s first 100-degree day ever to occur in September. It was also the latest 100-degree day observed, remarkably by more than two full weeks. The previous record high for September 2nd was 95 degrees. On Monday, this temperature was eclipsed before the lunch hour, with the prior record eventually being obliterated by 5 degrees later in the afternoon. The city of Boulder officially hit the century mark on Monday, too. The extreme heat had impressive historical significance here as well, with one small asterisk. Unlike Denver, Boulder actually only tied all of the existing records, as 100 degrees had already been observed on the very same day back in 1983. We investigate the validity of the triple digit observation this week and the one more than three decades ago.
We discuss the outlook for what is shaping up to be a pleasant holiday weekend, albeit under the duress of near-record heat.
We have one more day of hail to deal with on Monday before a major pattern change curbs the threat of severe storms for the Front Range. Later in the week, a developing ridge across southern Colorado will usher in conditions very typical for July with temperatures definitely returning to the 90’s.
Get ready for round two of severe weather late Friday afternoon into the evening hours with large hail the primary threat to end the week. We also discuss the weekend forecast which includes plenty of storms and the potential for more hail.
A potent spring storm and stark disagreement in the solutions offered up by the weather models made for a difficult forecast leading into last night’s snow event. We talk totals and take a look at just how uncommon snow in late May is for Boulder.
Another year, another CU Boulder graduation with terrible weather. They seem to go hand-in-hand, dont they? We discuss totals from this week’s snow event and take a look at brighter weekend weather ahead.
