Following a bitter cold and snowy January in the Front Range, the month of February so far has brought with it milder conditions. Last week we had our first 60-degree day in Boulder since just before Christmas, and even our first 70-degree day since late October. The warmer weather has been a welcomed reprieve, though it has rightfully confused some flowering plants across the area with early blooms. This warm weather was never going to last though — we’ve still got plenty of winter to go and this week will get us right back on-track with a two-part blast of Arctic air and snow headed for the Front Range. Read on for the latest details on the snowfall timing, amounts, and expected temperatures.

2025 has been exceptionally cold and snowy in the Front Range so far, but is that finally about to change? This week we can expect several tranquil sunny days to begin but we are watching the threat for more snow as a low-pressure system approaches from California by Thursday.
