Following the slightly warmer-than-normal June across Colorado, above-normal temperatures are expected this month for western and northern parts of Colorado, including most of the Rockies.
There may be more severe weather in July in the Eastern Plains, including Denver and Colorado Springs, as deeper moisture is drawn up from the Gulf of Mexico. As the summer monsoon gets underway by the second week of the month, the foothills and the mountains will have mainly afternoon and evening storms, which can produce flash flooding in some locations.
Overall, it may wind up being a stormy month leading to above-normal rainfall when all is said and done.
Denver’s normal high and low temperatures will rise from 87 degrees and 57 degrees on July 1, up to 90 degrees and 60 degrees for the second half of the month.
Again, the precipitation is expected to be above normal for the month overall, with the eastern part of the state seeing the most severe weather while the western half getting more thunderstorms capable of flash flooding.
