Not really. The summer weather pattern on the front range of the Rocky Mountains is cool nights, typically around 50, followed by clear, hot morning, frequently above 90, and then clouds building to huge, violent thunderstorms in the afternoon, with clearing skies later--usually sunny again by supper time. The thunderstorms are localized events, and if they miss you then they are merely impressive but if they hit then you may suffer lightning, hail damage, tornadoes, and flooding. There is a tornado watch in Colorado Springs typically once a week in the summer; a high school east of town was destroyed a couple of years ago.

We are now transitioning to the winter weather pattern, which is less violent.
