Seasonal change is ongoing across Colorado as of early Monday morning with a blustery Pacific storm system plowing across the state. Snow is falling in the Mountains with some rain across the Denver area, too. This storm system will usher in much cooler temperatures to start the week. However, warmer weather will return by Wednesday (the first official day of fall!) and continue into the upcoming weekend. For those of you hoping for snow, no news is bad news we surmise. Let’s take a look at the outlook for the weather week ahead.
August 2021 across the Front Range was defined by its poor air quality and tenacious smoky skies which were mostly caused by out-of-state wildfires. Other weather highlights during the month included a rotating thunderstorm which prompted tornado sirens, lots of red smoky sunsets, a sprinkle of summertime snow in the Mountains, and the landfall of Category 4 Hurricane Ida sixteen years to the day after Hurricane Katrina. Here’s a quick and colorful recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
Front Range weather during the month of May was certainly busy! We got our first taste of summertime thunderstorms, including accumulating hail in spots. There were numerous upslope storms; a few even turned cold enough for snow in Boulder and Denver. La Niña dissipated and the drought showed continued signs of improvement. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during May 2021, the notable atmospheric highlights and how it all relates to climatology.
Another week in May, another series of slow-moving spring storm systems for Colorado! The forecast Monday through Wednesday will be cool and gloomy with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms with even the threat for small hail and locally heavy rainfall. After the one nice day of the week on Thursday, another storm will approach late in the week bringing the chance of rain again alongside somewhat cooler temperatures. Read on for our complete outlook of the unsettled stretch ahead.
Anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5″ of liquid fell across the Front Range in the past few days, including up to 15″ of snow in the Foothills. There was also some accumulating snow across the lower elevations, too. Let’s take a look at the snow totals from the last few days!
Get ready! There will be a rather unsettled and cold start to the week as a spring low pressure circulates across the state Monday into Tuesday. Temperatures even drop cold enough to support a change-over to late-season snow in Boulder and Denver Monday night! We discuss expected snowfall amounts through Tuesday and provide our final snowfall forecast map. Drier and more seasonal temperatures will close out the rest of the week.
