fleeting brush with winter may have swept across the Front Range this past weekend, but the atmosphere isn’t planning to stick with the theme for long. That sharp Arctic plunge—while refreshing for snow lovers—was more of a brief interruption than a true turning point. A closer look at the pattern ahead shows Colorado snapping right back into its now‑familiar routine of warm afternoons, bone‑dry air, and a statewide snowpack sitting at record‑low levels. Winter may have knocked on the door, but it certainly isn’t moving in.
A stubborn weather pattern is settling in this week, and Colorado finds itself right in the middle of the action—or the lack of it. While the coasts deal with weather extremes, the Front Range gets a quieter blend of mild spells, a couple of cold fronts, and just enough uncertainty to keep things interesting. Read on for our full outlook of the next seven days to see if this translates into meaningful moisture or just more dry January days.
