We’re only half way through May, but many locations across the Front Range have already exceeded their normal precipitation for the entire month. This wet trend continues with another round of severe thunderstorms and widespread soaking rainfall 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.
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.
Thanks to those of you whom participated in our Spring Snow Contest. The goal of the competition was to predict the amount of snow that would accumulate in Boulder for February, March and April 2018 in relation to climatological normal. In this post, we review the entries and announce the winners!
A large-scale pattern shift will continue to facilitate warm and dry weather for the Front Range through much of the week. Things get messy just in time for the weekend, however. We’re tracking a storm that will bring much colder temperatures, lots of rain, and higher elevation snow.
This week’s storm produced a hefty amount of precipitation to the entire Front Range. We provide a recap of the storm’s rain and snow, and also discuss a major pattern shift set to impact the western United States soon.
With April come and gone, we are now fully entrenched in the Spring season here in the Front Range. We take a look at current trends, past climatology, and offer our prediction for the month of May in northeast Colorado.
