Ten years ago this week, torrential rains fell across the Front Range, triggering one of the worst floods in Colorado’s short recorded history, accompanied by a staggering repair bill now approaching $3 billion. With Boulder County at the epicenter of the disaster, the road to recovery has been long and arduous, and still continues today. We take a look back at this historic event, explain how it happened, and provide an update on related analysis performed since.

After a gorgeous weekend with temperatures across the Plains in the upper 50’s and lower 60’s, the week starts off rather uneventful with conditions similar to yesterday. However, things will be changing, mainly in the department of gusty downslope winds several days this week. This spells out continued above normal temperatures for the Plains, but upslope flow and snowfall for the High Country. Read on for our full weekly outlook of what to expect.
We begin the week under the protective influence of a mid-level ridge of high pressure. With this, the Front Range will be (mostly) dry and at times very warm through the week. Read on for our short and to-the-point weekly outlook.
After polar air and snow this past weekend, a very nice warm up is in store for the first few days of the week. Overall, expect a rather benign week but the High Country should see more snowfall. In the extended, we’re watching a potential snow storm Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. We’ll discuss that and the week ahead. Read on to find out more.
Our weather for the week ahead will be dominated by the overhead jet stream. This will provide strong northwest flow throughout the week, bringing more snow to the mountains and a slight chance of snow on the Plains. We’re also tracking a potential wintry event for the tail-end of the week. Continue reading for all the details.
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!
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.
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.
