This Week in Colorado Weather: January 26, 2026

January 26, 2026 /

A fleeting brush with winter may have swept across the Front Range this past weekend, but the atmosphere isn’t planning to stick with the theme for long. That sharp Arctic plunge—while refreshing for snow lovers—was more of a brief interruption than a true turning point. A closer look at the pattern ahead shows Colorado snapping right back into its now‑familiar routine of warm afternoons, bone‑dry air, and a statewide snowpack sitting at record‑low levels. Winter may have knocked on the door, but it certainly isn’t moving in.

Last night’s weak cold front was just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a full‑blown temperature slide straight into the weekend.

The latest temperature‑timeline graph out of Boulder tells the story loud and clear: last night’s cold front didn’t just arrive—it punched its way through around 8:30 PM, dropping temperatures nearly 20 degrees in just minutes.

Last night’s weak cold front slipped through right around 9:30 PM—it was nothing crazy, just a subtle dip in temperatures, a bump in dew points, and a shift of the winds around to the northeast direction. As expected, a few light rain showers are hanging out east of Denver this morning. They’re already looking pretty flimsy on radar and aren’t …

GOES‑East imagery shows the whole thing unfolding in real time—an impressive, almost uninterrupted swath of clouds stretching in from upstream.
