Winter Weather Update: Finally some actual snow to go with the brutal cold! Snow arrives late Thursday, heaviest across the southern Front Range

February 20, 2025 / Ben Castellani / 0 Comments

It’s been a brutally cold week in the Boulder-Denver area with temperatures remaining entirely below freezing since Saturday morning. Up until now, we haven’t had much snow to show for this Arctic plunge, but that changes later on Thursday as we finally get some moisture and a real storm system passing through to generate widespread snowfall across the Front Range. We discuss the latest forecast details, including how models have been trending the storm further south in recent runs which will make for a tricky forecast, one with a very sharp gradient in expected snowfall totals. Let’s take a look.

This Week in Colorado Weather: February 17, 2025

February 17, 2025 / Andy / 0 Comments

We hope you didn’t put your cold weather gear away for the season yet — another Arctic Blast will ooze into eastern Colorado this week! A strong Arctic high will entrench the region in bitter cold air through midweek, with highs during this period well below normal in the teens and 20s with lows in the single digits or slightly below zero. A few weather systems moving through in the westerly flow aloft will bring several chances for snow to the area, but for the most part accumulations will remain relatively light east of the Mountains. Temperatures will moderate by the end of the week and especially the weekend as ridging builds in from the west and the dense Arctic air retreats eastward with surprisingly warm weather not too far off on the horizon.

A several hour period of banded snowfall impacted the entire Front Range during the daytime hours on Saturday as a weak system, with embedded jet energy, moved across the area from the northwest. We briefly review both the snow totals from this single storm and the seasonal ones.
