<\/a><\/p>\nAs we quickly move into August, it is a good time to remind everyone that this time period is when Colorado typically sees the Southwest Monsoon<\/span> become a more frequent player in day-to-day weather. Monsoon<\/span> surges arrive and are then cut-off, arrive and then cut-off, and so on and so forth. This FTO will certainly show no exception to this typical pattern. The first wet period covers Tuesday and Wednesday (07\/28-07\/29), and the second shows up for next week, Tuesday through Friday (08\/04-08-07). Between the two periods, mostly sunny skies and warmth are expected to dominate most areas, with the typical summertime thunderstorms developing thanks to the presence of residual moisture under the upper-level ridge. After the second wet period, mostly sunny skies and hot temperatures are expected to return as the upper-level ridge builds overhead and cuts off the supply of subtropical moisture from the southwest.
