Fall of 2025 Weather Review

The start of Fall of 2025 saw a meandering ridge of high pressure across the Rockies, which brought periods of warm and dry conditions, as well as cooler and wetter periods throughout the month of September. There were also periods of severe weather and heavy rainfall across portions of south central and southeast Colorado in September. October was again primarily influenced by a meandering ridge of high pressure across the Rockies, which brought mainly warm and dry conditions to the region as a whole. However, periods of heavy rainfall and flooding were experienced across portions of southwestern Colorado, and into western portions of south central Colorado, in the October 9th through 14th timeframe, when remnants of Hurricane Priscilla moved across western portions of the state. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches were recorded over that 5 day timeframe, with local amounts of almost 8 inches recorded at the Wolf Creek SNOTEL station. November was very warm and mainly dry across south central and southeast Colorado, with a few passing weather systems towards the end of the month which brought some areas of rain, with Colorado Springs setting a new daily rainfall record of 1.10 inches on November 23rd.
