Winter Weather Update: First snowflakes of 2026 arrive on Thursday, but it’s a tricky forecast for the Front Range (Updated)

January 7, 2026 / Andy

Winter is about to make a move again along the Front Range for the first time in 2026. After one last mild day Wednesday, a pair of storm systems will team up to bring moisture, colder air, and a decent shot at accumulating snow to finish the week. The setup is a little tricky, the timing isn’t perfect, and the details are still fuzzy due to some uncertainty—but there’s plenty to be hopeful for as this event plays out Thursday into Friday. We discuss the broader setup, how things may unfold and where the biggest impacts could land alongside heavy wet snow.

Update (Thu 1/8/26 5AM): Lower end scenarios now appear more likely with this tricky pair of storm systems not phasing together well. Based on latest guidance, we have reduced snow amounts by 1 or 2 inches across the board. Snow map and discussion of amounts are updated. Timing looks fine with rain/snow developing Thursday morning, snow on-and-off during the day into the evening, and snow coming to an end Thursday night or early Friday.

This Week in Colorado Weather: January 5, 2025

January 5, 2026 / Andy

Warm, gusty weather is kicking off the first full week of 2026, but the atmosphere has a few twists lined up as we move toward the weekend. A stubborn ridge will keep us mild early on as downslope winds ramp up fire concerns. However, a developing trough later in the week will turn us much colder — with even the possibility of snow for Boulder and Denver if the storm track cooperates. The details are still evolving, but there’s plenty to watch in the days ahead.
