This week in Colorado weather: November 15, 2021

November 15, 2021 / Ben Castellani

Warm and gusty weather will kick off the week before a cold front arrives Tuesday evening bringing primarily light Mountain snow to the state. 60’s and 70’s will transition to 30’s by Wednesday. There is also a few outside chances for snow across the Denver Metro area this week, but nothing to get excited about. Both Boulder and Denver are rapidly closing in on the record for the latest first accumulating snowfall of the season. At this point, those records are definitely in jeopardy of getting eclipsed.
