This week leans warm and deceptively calm across the Front Range, but there’s more going on under the hood than the mild afternoons suggest. A couple of brief cold fronts, a parade of passing shortwaves, and even a midweek fire‑weather setup all take turns shaping our pattern. Rain chances stay meager, frost may sneak in early Tuesday, and late‑week energy could stir up a few isolated showers. We break down what to expect—and what not to count on—in our latest weekly outlook.
March is supposed to bring hints of spring, not the kind of heat that rewrites the record books and eats away snowpack like it’s June. Yet here we are again, recapping another weekend of astonishing warmth, more broken records, and a dire Westwide snowpack situation that has become genuinely alarming. We walk through just how extreme the heatwave has been, why Colorado’s water outlook is now in uncharted territory, and what the coming early April pattern shift might (or might not) do to slow the damage that’s already been done. Let’s dig in.
