Hot weather to return Sunday
Thursday, July 10, 2025
Low seventy-degree temperatures, on their way to the low to mid-eighties, and cloudy skies are over Steamboat Springs late this Thursday morning. Meager shower chances are expected this afternoon, likely producing more wind than rain, and will be followed by another cool front on Friday, with even lower shower chances and similar temperatures. Dry weather is forecast for the weekend, with Saturday’s comfortable high temperatures rising to approach ninety degrees on Sunday.
The remnants of a small and weakening eddy are moving through the area, bringing cloudy skies and a cool front that will drop our ninety-degree high temperature yesterday to just below eighty-five degrees today, right around our average of eighty-three degrees. After this morning’s rumble of thunder, there will be another chance this afternoon of storms that would produce more wind than rain due to precipitation evaporating in the dry lower atmosphere.
Meanwhile, a wave moving through the Canadian Plains will drag another cool front through our area later Friday, keeping the comfortable high temperatures around and leading to another chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms that will again produce more wind than rain.
A ridge of high pressure begins to build over the West Coast on Saturday behind the Canadian wave, bringing dry weather and high temperatures approaching ninety degrees on Sunday. This hot and dry weather will persist to start the workweek before we may see another grazing cool front by later Tuesday or Wednesday.
Enjoy the relatively cooler days to start the weekend, and check back Sunday afternoon for my regularly scheduled weather narrative for details on the next incoming cool front, which may kickstart a weak surge of monsoonal moisture that will hopefully be with us through the following weekend.
