September 25, 2023 / Ben Castellani

Another boring week of weather is set to unfold across the Front Range as Colorado remains trapped in a dry and stagnant weather pattern.

While there was some potential for things to change this upcoming weekend, that no longer appears to be the case. There’s no rain (or snow) anywhere in pipeline — heck there’s barely any clouds!

The weather this week in the Front Range will have two contrasting primary themes. A heat dome cooking beneath a large ridge of high pressure off to our southwest will push temperatures towards record highs Monday and Tuesday. However, the rest of the week will exhibit a cooling trend with increasing chances for late-day thunderstorms as several backdoor cold fronts team up with increasing monsoonal moisture.

Let’s take a look at what should be yet another interesting weather week…
