September was an exceptionally warm month in the Front Range, with most areas landing more than four degrees above average. This was our fourth consecutive month that finished on the north side of normal. Outside of a single soaking rain event, the month was also extremely dry with drought expanding further across the area. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
The Front Range experienced its first significant rainfall in five months, with some areas receiving up to an inch of rain over the weekend. The start of the work week will be relatively cool. However, a strong ridge pattern known as an omega block will bring warm and dry conditions from Wednesday onwards, with temperatures rising into the 80s and potentially reaching record highs by Thursday. While there is no hope for any snow in our forecast yet, our 10th Annual First Snow Contest will open to entries later this week. Read on for all the details.
This weekend will surely feel a lot different than recent ones as the first autumn storm system of the year arrives into Colorado — conveniently aligning with the official first day of autumn on Sunday. While a fair amount of uncertainty remains in potential precipitation totals for the Front Range, everyone should see an extended period of light to moderate rainfall from late Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning. Fortunately it is still too warm for frozen precipitation across the lower elevations, but snow will fall in the Mountains accumulating up to several inches. Here’s our latest thoughts on what has turned out to be a tricky storm to forecast!

September is finally upon us — what a great time of the year this is in Colorado! Mother Nature will deliver rather varied weather this week in the Front Range. Hot temperatures and high pressure will give way to a Pacific trough by midweek. Clouds will be on the increase alongside the risk of severe thunderstorms for Wednesday, with even a touch of snow in our highest elevations. Things will clear out nicely for the upcoming weekend leading to gorgeous and seasonal late-summer conditions. Read on for all the details.
Labor Day Weekend won’t be quite as hot as it was on Wednesday, which was Boulder’s 40th 90° day of the year, but we are expecting warm and dry conditions to persist, perfect for any outdoor activities you may have lined up. The weather pattern will shift slightly early next week with the potential for isolated storms returning to the area. Whether you’re planning a trip into the Mountains or are staying comfortably down low in the city this holiday weekend, read on for the latest forecast details!
