A tandem of low pressure systems — one warm and moisture‑rich, the other colder and more dynamic — teamed up just enough to deliver a surprisingly efficient burst of snowfall across the Front Range to end the week.

After a quick burst of weekend snow and our coldest temperatures since early December, the week ahead turns much quieter across Colorado. Temperatures will climb steadily as Boulder and Denver stay dry into the New Year, while the Mountains prepare for a well‑timed round of snow for the holiday weekend. We’ll walk you through the day‑to‑day weather this week, where the snow will fall, and check in on long‑range guidance which still isn’t advertising much in the way of winter for eastern Colorado.
A few wobbly overnight snow bands dropped a light, fluffy coating of powder across the Front Range—right on target with our forecast. We break down where the bands hit, why the snow ratios were so sky‑high, and what this tiny event means for our growing seasonal deficit. We also look ahead to the warm, dry pattern set to carry us into the New Year.
After a stretch of December warmth so extreme it rewrote some record books across the Front Range, we’re finally staring down a pattern shift—though not quite the snowy one we initially hoped for. A pair of cold fronts will bring a sharp temperature drop, a few chances for rain and snow, and at least the feeling of winter back to Boulder and Denver. The details have changed quite a bit in the last 24 to 48 hours, but we’ll walk you through what’s still on the table, what’s no longer likely, and where a few surprises could still sneak in Saturday night.
