August 2022 followed the trend of the rest of the summer as another hot and somewhat dry month across the Front Range. August began very warm, cooled off around the middle of the month as monsoon moisture surged, and finally once again turned toasty by months’ end. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
After a couple cooler weeks, a new ridge of high pressure will form over Utah and dominate the extended forecast across the Front Range leading to a lengthy stretch of 90-degree days accompanied by little to no rainfall. The upcoming Labor Day weekend looks pretty nice across the area as the warmth continues but with some storms popping up in the Mountains. Let’s take a look at the weather week ahead.
