Monsoon moisture settles in and that means big changes for Colorado weather this week. What to expect in Denver: cowx
DENVER — After a fairly dry spell compared to what felt like an unending stretch of stormy weeks earlier this summer, Denver’s forecast is calling for a return to a more widespread wet weather pattern coming up this week.An upper-level high is expected to move east into Oklahoma and Texas drawing in a southerly monsoonal flow into Colorado, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
Monday will welcome the week’s rainy pattern with more storms forming in the mountains by late afternoon, the NWS said.For the Denver metro area, a storm is possible in the afternoon hours on Monday. The threat of flooding will increase starting Monday in Colorado’s burn scar areas. There's an elevated threat of flash flooding in the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome burn scar areas beginning Monday.
Storm movements are expected to be “relatively” slow, according to the NWS, creating an environment where storms have a higher chance of organizing and spreading east across the plains potentially dropping 2” to 3” of rain in localized areas. Along with the return to rain, a cooling trend will settle in across Colorado this week. Afternoon high temperatures will drop to the mid to low 80s by the end of the week.So, about that monsoon season in ColoradoIn Colorado, that leads to stormy weather in the months of July and August. We get an area of low pressure over the Desert Southwest that draws up moisture from the Pacific Ocean. In addition to that, a ridge of high pressure to the east pulls in moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
