Snow is done, cold lingers Light snow wrapped up after midnight last night for most areas. It looks like 2-4" around Denver, and 4 to 7" towards Boulder. We'll discuss the totals more in-depth in another post soon. The story now becomes the bitter cold. This morning's low temperature was -5 degrees at BoulderCAST Station, the coldest day so far this …

Based on water vapor imagery from GOES-East, our storm system is currently located in extreme northeastern Nevada. The upper-low is moving a little bit slower than expected as this is about 100 to 200 miles further west than the GFS forecast. Snow has begun across the Mountains of western and central Colorado with moist flow streaming northward ahead of the …

Cold air boundary hovers near Denver & Boulder today As we stressed in our forecast yesterday, there is a fair bit of uncertainty as to how far south a cooler airmass makes it this afternoon. Models show the boundary draped across the Front Range again today, with a sharp temperature gradient possible in our region. Of course, most of the models …

We're still looking at generally northwest flow with moderating temperatures as the headlining Arctic airmass across the East Coast trudges north and east. This should really be the last day where we see widespread historically cold temperatures reported across the country. An airmass …

Warmer today, but still cool With all that fresh snow on the ground, yesterday's high temperature was only 32 degrees at BoulderCAST Station. This was some 10 degrees below all of the model guidance. With similar conditions today, we don't expect the model consensus of lower 50's to verify all that well. Our prediction calls for highs in the middle 40's …

Looking at the radar this morning, it feels very much like déjà vu. Jet-forced snow bands are delivering another wallop of heavy snow to much of the Metro area. Reports from Boulder to Broomfield to Thornton indicate anywhere from 1 to 3" has already fallen as of 7:00 AM. The heaviest bands will be sagging southward through the morning. Shown …
