Following four days of unseasonably cool temperatures, this week begins warm as moderately-moist southwest flow dominates the region. By mid-week, moisture associated with two tropical cyclones spreads into Colorado alongside a cold front from the north. With this, we’ll see storm chances increase and temperatures fall once again. Read on for our complete weekly outlook.

After a very dry stretch through much of July, this week will feature a strong shift in the weather pattern that will allow for monsoonal moisture to spread in from the southwest, leading to chances for thunderstorms each day. Outside of the storms, temperatures will also warm each day with highs climbing back into the 90’s. Read on for our full forecast and which days we expect the best likelihood of monsoon rainfall.
This afternoon’s thundershowers were a welcomed reminder of what July in Colorado could and should be like, weather which we have been hoping for over the last few weeks. Thankfully, Mother Nature has a few promising changes in-store for the near-future, beginning early next week with the resurgence of monsoon moisture to the region.
After a weekend filled with sunshine, heat and wildfires, the week ahead will feature a slight cool-down across northern Colorado as zonal flow takes center-stage. With this, rain chances will be minimal and confined to the end of the week. Continue reading for a recap of the recent dry weather and our complete forecast for the upcoming week.
Both Denver and Boulder are chasing record highs today. 99 is the number to beat in Denver, 100 in Boulder. We are forecasting 99 degrees in both cities today.
Fire danger will be high as well this afternoon, especially in the Foothills where Red Flag Warnings are active. A combination of hot temperatures, low humidity, and gusty southwest winds will breed volatile conditions for the rapid spread of fire. Luckily, there is no chance of lightning today, so any ignitions will require a human.
Therefore, please take extra precaution. We already had careless folks destroy several hundred acres of Boulder County forest yesterday…
If you are sick of the warmth and lack of decent skiing, this week’s weather will be welcomed. The focus for the week ahead will be a slow-moving trough which takes hold across the center of the country. This will bring an extended period of cooler weather to the region and heavy snow to the Mountains. We’re also monitoring a chance of snow for the Plains towards the end of the week. Read on for our full forecast.
One thing that should be clear after this week’s lack-luster winter storm: a couple of degrees and 25 miles can make a world of difference. While Boulder received just a few wet snowflakes, portions of southern Denver piled up more than a foot of snow. We explain why the situation north of Denver didn’t play out as forecasters were suggesting.
