The Southwest Monsoon will remain active across Colorado this week with the best chances for rainfall coming Wednesday through Friday in the Front Range. Storm chances will be greatest across the Mountains with better forcing, upslope, and unstable air leading to a slight risk of flash flooding there. Temperatures during the week in the Denver Metro area will remain near or above normal, but fortunately nothing too hot. Let’s take a look.
NOTICE: Due to unexpected travel, our usual weekly outlook discussion will be published a day later on Tuesday this week. Please check back tomorrow for the latest on Front Range weather. Early week weather highlights are as follows:
⦁❶⦁ A narrow plume of monsoon moisture will fuel numerous thunderstorms across the Front Range on Monday during the afternoon and evening
⦁❷⦁ Favorable shear will also be present increasing the risk for severe storms — heavy rainfall and golf ball-sized hail are the primary concerns, but damaging winds and a couple tornadoes also possible
⦁❸⦁ High temperatures reach the upper 80s in the afternoon before the storms cool us off
⦁❹⦁ Tuesday will be the only completely dry day this week as temperatures rebound back well into the 90s
⦁❺⦁ Thunderstorms will be in the forecast Wednesday and beyond with 30-50% chances each day
