These posts cover interesting weather phenomena from around the world, and won’t be specific to Boulder County. However, Earth is very diverse in the world of weather, so you will surely learn a thing or two.
This week will feature a continuation of the dangerous, unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, but cool and rainy weather in the Front Range. Go figure! Our temperatures will remain below normal through the week with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms, helping to alleviate but not remove wildfire concerns across the state. We also discuss the status of monsoon season, the active tropical eastern Pacific, and what may lie ahead for the Fourth of July weekend.
As you know, thunderstorms are usually a staple of summer in Colorado! Almost every day, monsoon moisture boils up into dark early afternoon clouds, some of which produce deadly cloud-to-ground lightning. We briefly review a few statistics and remind you that Colorado is ranked near the top of the list for lightning-related fatalities for a reason.
The mid-March monster winter storm was definitely the highlight of the month, but other snowfalls and persistently cold temperatures were also noteworthy. As a result of the wet month, we saw some regional drought improvement, but Colorado as a whole remains in a very tough spot heading into the summer and wildfire season. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during March 2021 and how it relates to climatology.

In fact, this was the sixth month in a row that ended warmer and drier than normal. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.
November 2020 ended up quite a bit different than November 2019 which was one of the coldest for our area. The month began with a record warm stretch but eventually had a few snow events. Overall, though, it was a very warm and fairly dry month which is just what we predicted. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.
After an eventful weekend with two new wildfires igniting in Boulder County, the weather will become slightly less favorable for fire growth through the week in the higher terrain.
