There is little weather to speak of for this first full-week of November with a ridge of high pressure over Colorado maintaining itself. There will be lots of sunshine and temperatures once again above normal…something which has been the story for much of our fall. One thing of note is a potential cold front late in the week, although it will likely not prevent us from remaining warmer than normal for this time of year. Read on for our full outlook of the week ahead.

Lots to talk about this week, but nonetheless, not much changes compared to our recent weather trends.

We’ve had quite an unbelievable stretch of weather the past several weeks. However, the bad news is that there hasn’t been any rain in a long time. In fact, Boulder County is once again under a fire ban. We really could use rain or snow, but this week will unfortunately not bring any respite from the dry spell.

Our recent warm stretch is more typical of mid-September than mid-October, but it’s really hard to complain. Under the influence of an expansive ridge of high pressure, temperatures have exceeded 80 degrees each of the last four days, with several close-calls for record highs in many Front Range cities. For the week ahead, we’ll see a brief cool down and spurts of Mountain snow, but revert to boring summer-like weather before the weekend.
