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.

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.
Several favorable atmospheric components aligned to produce very strong winds across the Metro area Tuesday afternoon and evening. We look at the peak wind gusts and also check out the view from the space borne GOES-16 weather satellite.
Even with thick high-level clouds overhead, yesterday saw “Fair” weather conditions reported across the Metro area, but what does this actually mean? As it turns out, “Fair” weather can signify a lot of things, with one critical caveat.
The Pineapple Express was back at it again this past weekend. Another round of soaking rain struck California, with all that tropical moisture translating into heavy mountain snow across northern Colorado.
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.
The GOES-16 weather satellite launched on November 19, 2016 and began collecting revolutionary data with a higher temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution than ever before. From the raging wildfires in Montana, to a close-up on the eye of Hurricane Maria, GOES-16 has captured truly awe-inspiring results in 2017. What do you think?
On May 8th 2017, a severe thunderstorm formed over the western suburbs of Denver around 2:30 PM Mountain Time. Hailstones up to 2.75″ in diameter pummeled cars and structures causing a total of $1.4 Billion (that’s billion with a “B”!) in damage, thereby becoming the costliest hailstorm in state history. We take a look back at this historic storm, and give you warning of the impending insurance spikes for 2018.
Earth. It’s really cool, but it’s warming up faster now than it may have ever warmed before. Unless the buzz from last week’s East Coast blizzard has turned you into a climate change denier, you are likely already on-board with this sentiment. With 2017 now behind us, we take a look back at temperatures throughout the year for the globe, Colorado, and Boulder.
