A complicated weather pattern is taking shape across Colorado this week, with a deep low pressure system, a surge of tropical moisture, and the remnants of Hurricane Polo all getting tangled up together. For Boulder, Denver and the Front Range, that combination creates some unusually large forecast uncertainties — particularly when it comes to how much rain falls and just how chilly things get by midweek. Meanwhile, southern Colorado is in store for a much bigger soaking, with some impressive rainfall totals showing up in the guidance alongside high peak snowfall. We break down what we know now, what remains uncertain, and when we can finally expect this week’s definitively gloomy weather to break and sunshine to return.

The pattern is gradually shifting across Colorado, with lingering moisture keeping Thursday cool and cloudy before drier, warmer weather settles in for the weekend. Beyond that, the forecast becomes much less certain as the first significant autumn trough approaches from the west and potentially interacts with the remnants of Hurricane Polo across the southern Rockies. There are several possible outcomes for early next week in the Front Range, ranging from a quick cooldown with some showers to a much wetter setup. We break down what the models are showing, what we’re confident in, and what remains uncertain.
