While the fire ban has been recently lifted in many Front Range counties, September did little to relieve the parched landscape with yet another month of well below normal precipitation. Will October offer up the soaking rain and mountain snow that we desperately need? Read on as we examine Boulder’s climatology and consider the current state of the atmosphere to give our outlook for the next month.

After a cool and “autumn-like” weekend, this week will feature milder temperatures and lots of sunshine, at least through midweek. A fly in the ointment will be a weak system approaching from Baja California which will increase clouds and lead to the chance of isolated rain or storms late in the week. These should be confined mainly to the mountainous areas, however. Read on for our full weekly forecast to end the month of September!
A quick look ahead to the upcoming weekend shows substantial changes to our weather behind a Pacific cold front, including the season’s first widespread mountain snowfall! Read on for our complete weekend weather briefing.
Dry weather has prevailed across northeast Colorado for the last several days, with temperatures moderating from the 60’s to near 90 degrees. This trend continues through much of this week’s forecast as a flat upper-ridge dominates our weather. However, the team-up of a potent trough and the remnants of Tropical Storm Paine will bring chances for rain just in time for the weekend. Read on for our complete weekly forecast.
We hope you had a safe and fun holiday weekend. With most of the BoulderCAST team either out of town visiting family or off somewhere exploring the wilderness, we ask that you please excuse the brevity and delay of this week’s forecast. Read on for our short and sweet outlook for the upcoming week.
After a wet end to the previous week, the weekend started out cool and concluded warm with highs approaching 90 degrees over the Plains on Sunday. This week will begin with above normal temperatures, but a cold front moving in along with subtropical moisture will increase our threat of rain and storms through the middle of the week. Once again our weekly discussion is riddled with mentions of rain, but as always, the extent and intensity for any given location remains to be seen. Read on for the full week-ahead forecast.
Summer is the one time of year when you don’t need us meteorologists. You already know the weather for today (and everyday) will start sunny, warm into the 90’s, then promptly cloud up and produce a brief storm which generates a “just okay” rainbow before another stunning Colorado sunset. If it feels like we’ve been enjoying a much nicer, less rainbow-filled summer than normal, you’re not alone, nor imagining things. It’s been dry. Historically dry.
We discuss the official return of drought to Colorado and provide our thoughts on the outlook heading into September.
