As of Monday morning, the Arctic airmass has spilled into the Front Range, but it won’t be staying for long! Boulder and Denver will be in and out of the frigid air much of the week ahead as the Arctic front wobbles back and forth. As such, some days will be more pleasant than others. While still somewhat uncertain, we are expecting the coldest air in years to inundate the region late in the week into the upcoming weekend alongside a chance of snow. Read on for our complete outlook of the upcoming week.
A strong jet streak moved across Colorado on the evening of February 3rd with a heavy band of jet-forced snow clipping only the far south and eastern portions of the Denver Metro area. Let’s take a look at the totals.
⦁❶⦁ Despite Phil’s wintery prediction earlier this morning, our temperatures will soar into the 60’s today and tomorrow
⦁❷⦁ A quick-hitting trough will bring a chance of snow to the Front Range Wednesday night
⦁❸⦁ Even with decent lift and a potent jet core overhead, downslope looks to be too much to overcome northwest of Denver with this system
⦁❹⦁ Expected accumulations are minimal, but as always forecasting jet snow is tricky so stay tuned!
