The current spell of hot, dry weather will take a temporary hiatus Thursday and Friday. Afternoon temperatures on Thursday are likely to be 15-20 degrees cooler than they have been these last few days. There will also be an increased chance for showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening, and maybe on Friday too. Not everyone will benefit from some rain, but it will likely be the best chance we have seen for rain in a while, and there may be a few local spots with locally strong thunderstorms. We will probably trend back toward warmer weather over the weekend just in time for the June solstice on Saturday afternoon at 3:44 PM.
When was our last significant rain in Boulder? NCAR only goes back 28 days. (Writing Oct 16 !)

We had over 1 inch of liquid with the early snow on September 8-9th. Before that, June 18-19 was last widespread rain of consequence. Although there were some localized areas of heavy rain over the summer, the region in general had a dry summer.
