A recap of this week’s “double shot” of severe weather, more large hail possible on Friday

It’s been a busy weather-week to say the least….There is usually only one or two days per year where a significant severe weather outbreak impacts the immediate Metro area. It just so happens this year those two days of severe weather occurred back-to-back! We review the damaging hailstorms that transpired earlier in the week and also look ahead to Friday’s forecast which may have large hail returning to the Boulder/Denver area.

Much warmer and sunnier weather is expected this week. No major storm systems will be impacting the state of Colorado. However, thanks to elevated moisture, there will be a daily chance of afternoon and evening thundershowers early in the week.

We’ve already surpassed May’s average precipitation, more to come this weekend

Well, they say April showers bring May flowers, but what do May showers bring?? The forecast for the week will feature a similar pattern to what we have experienced over the weekend. The week can be summed up in a few words: stormy at the beginning and end of the week, with slightly drier conditions in the middle.

Cooler and unsettled stretch ahead, but not a total wash

We warned you on Monday about the potential for the weather to turn gloomier just in time for the weekend. While that forecast is indeed going to materialize, the track of the cut-off storm system has trended further west through the week. This means it won’t be quite as cold or soggy as initially expected across Colorado. Nonetheless, the unseasonably warm and dry pattern we’ve experienced for the last week is now over. Cooler weather and chances for rain are here to stay.
