Weekend Outlook: Hurricane Hilary’s remnants, a bit of smoke, staying mostly dry, and continued near-record heat

August 17, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

A ridge of high pressure will remain in control of Colorado through the extended and even intensifies this weekend keeping us mostly dry and hot. The best chance of rain in the pipeline comes on Friday, but only limited rainfall is expected from storms due to a lack of moisture. Additionally, the remnants of major Hurricane Hilary in the Eastern Pacific will arrive to the USA this weekend but stay well to the west of Colorado unfortunately (boo!). Things dry out further this weekend into early next week as temperatures once again make a run towards triple digits in the Denver Metro area.

Storm Recap: Plowable hail, tornadoes, Mountain snow, flooding, and the biggest deluge of rain since the 2013 Flood

May 12, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

This was undoubtedly a wild week in Front Range weather — but one which resulted in multiple good outcomes. The extreme severe weather outbreak planned for midweek got partially busted by low clouds and fog which may have ultimately saved it from becoming the costliest hailstorm in state history. Further, the deluge of rain that dumped to close out the week will go a long way towards eradicating much of the ongoing drought in the eastern half of the state. Let’s take a look back at this crazy week in Colorado weather!

This Week in Colorado Weather: May 8, 2023

May 8, 2023 / Ben Castellani

After a few warm and quiet days, big changes arrive midweek as a southern-track storm system targets the Front Range. Initially we’ll be in the warm and unstable sector with the first severe weather outbreak of 2023 for Colorado taking shape on Wednesday. By late week, the main storm system will slowly move across the state inducing a prolonged period of upslope and soggy conditions across our area. What type of severe weather should we expect on Wednesday and how much rain (and snow) will fall this week? Let’s take a look.

April 2023 concluded as Boulder’s sixth consecutive month with below normal temperatures. At the same time, the Front Range area saw below normal snowfall and precipitation leading to increased drought coverage, though a soggy conclusion to the month did help things a bit. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.

Winter Weather Update: Wind-blown rain changing to snow Thursday night

April 27, 2023 / Ben Castellani

Another wave of precipitation will accompany a cold front racing into the Front Range from the north Thursday night with rain changing to snow across the Denver Metro area. This precipitation will be joined by strong dynamics and northerly flow, making for a gusty and unsettled evening ahead, with some grassy accumulations possible across the lower elevations as snow mixes in late for some. This storm will largely favor areas south of Interstate 70, with the northern Front Range including Boulder not expected to see much. Let’s take a look.
