Grand Junction, CO – This weekend, Colorado is bracing for another round of severe weather as an approaching frontal boundary brings gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms. Today, the primary concern is the excessive monsoonal moisture, which is likely to result in flash flooding, particularly from southwest Colorado into the Central Mountains.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Grand Junction, residents should prepare for significant rainfall between 1 p.m. and 10 p.m. MDT today. Strong upper-level winds will help move storms, but training storms could exacerbate flooding risks. The heavy rain may result in localized flash floods, so residents in vulnerable areas are advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
Looking ahead, Sunday brings a 35% chance of rain with temperatures cooling slightly to a high of 81°F. However, the weather will improve significantly as we move into Monday. The forecast predicts clear skies with temperatures reaching a comfortable 83°F, offering a reprieve from the weekend’s turbulent weather.
As the week progresses, the weather remains favorable, with sunshine and warming temperatures expected. By midweek, temperatures will rise to 88°F, marking a return to typical summer conditions. Residents should stay informed of weather updates throughout the weekend.
