Ben grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania and holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Meteorology, the latter being from CU Boulder. His hometown received nearly three feet of snow from the Storm of the Century back in March of 1993, sparking his initial interest in impactful weather. Ben currently works on remote sensing and data analysis software at L3Harris Technologies in Boulder.
This week’s weather in the Front Range will see a shift from the recent unseasonably warm temperatures to cooler conditions, with periodic light snow expected in the Mountains throughout the week. While a white Christmas is unlikely for the Denver Metro area, there will be a slight chance of rain or snow showers Wednesday evening and night. The late-week period will remain active with several disturbances bringing more light snow to the Mountains, but the lower elevations around Boulder and Denver will stay mostly dry with mild temperatures. We also look ahead to next week when we’ll likely see a longer-term transition to much colder and snowier weather for the New Year.
As we rapidly approach the holiday season, the Front Range continues to experience unseasonably warm and dry conditions. This past weekend brought beautiful weather with temperatures warming into the 50s, accompanied by strong downslope winds at times. Looking ahead, the forecast remains mostly quiet with high pressure dominating the central Rockies, including Colorado. While a few bouts of wind are expected this week, precipitation will be nearly non-existent over the next seven to ten days, making a white Christmas highly unlikely for the Denver-Boulder area.
