Our most recent snow storm reinforced the fact that weather forecasts can change in the blink of an eye, which can ultimately have major impacts across the Front Range. Looking back, we definitely needed a better outlet to communicate more timely information to our readers as models shifted in the final hours leading up to the event. We detail a new site feature that will be rolling out alongside our next major winter storm, the BoulderCAST Live Blog.

The BoulderCAST Live Blog is a new type of post that will activate in the hours leading up to a high-impact weather event and persist until its conclusion. BoulderCAST meteorologists will post up-to-the-minute information on the storm, including forecast adjustments, current conditions across the Front Range, and other important details. Look for them pinned to the top our homepage when the next blizzard is knocking on our doorstep!
