The week starts off cooler than normal and a breath of fresh air behind a frontal passage. The reprieve from the heat is short-lived, unfortunately, as a strong mid-level ridge of high pressure builds back in as the week progresses. This pattern change will lead to temperatures getting hot once again to near the century mark by week’s end, along with increasing afternoon/evening storms in the monsoonal flow.
With the monsoon getting suppressed and a hot pattern taking hold this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday could get Boulder to the elusive 100-degree mark for the first time in nearly two years. We discuss the cause of this heatwave, how hot it will get around Boulder and Denver this weekend (and next week), and when we expect cooler temperatures to arrive.
