April 22 to April 28: This week in Denver weather history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Certainly April can bring pleasant weather but it also can bring thunderstorms and even heavy, damaging snow as we see in our look back at this week in Denver weather history.<\/p>\n

From the National Weather Service:<\/p>\n

In 1933\u2026a major storm dumped 16.8 inches of snowfall over downtown Denver when rain changed to snow during the early morning of the 20th and continued through midday of the 22nd. Most of the snow fell on the 21st. Due to melting\u2026 The most snow on the ground was 10.5 inches at 6:00 pm on the 21st. Before the snow started\u2026a strong cold front on the evening of the 19th produced north winds sustained to 35 mph with gusts to 37 mph. The strong winds deposited a thin layer of dust on the city. North to northwest winds were sustained to 31 mph with gusts to 35 mph on the 20th and to 29 mph with gusts to 32 mph on the 21st.<\/p>\n

20-22<\/p>\n

20-23<\/p>\n

In 1989\u2026unusually warm weather resulted in several daily temperature records being broken in Denver. The high temperature of 89 degrees on the 21st exceeded the record maximum for the month at that time. Daily record high temperatures were either exceeded or equaled with 83 degrees on the 20th\u202688 degrees on the 22nd\u2026and 85 degrees on the 23rd.

Later in the day\u20263.6 inches of snow fell at Stapleton Airport.<\/p>\n

In 2002\u2026persistent dry conditions in the foothills contributed to the first large forest fire of the season near Bailey. Very dry and windy conditions allowed the fire\u2026initially started by a careless smoker\u2026to grow into a 2400-acre blaze before it could be contained. Fortunately\u2026no significant damage occurred to homes or other property in the area.<\/p>\n

Four bridges were washed out by the flood waters and other bridges were endangered. The damage was generally limited to bridges that were in poor condition. However\u2026the flood waters did not overflow their channel banks within the city limits.<\/p>\n

In 1980\u2026heavy rain began in the eastern foothills on the night of the 23rd and turned to heavy wet snow on the 24th. Up to a foot and a half of snow fell in the foothills west of Denver.
