This week’s weather will be a mixbag across Colorado, with a little bit of Mountain snow, bouts of gusty winds, and one or two sizable temperature swings for the lower elevations. With the exception of a cold and windy Tuesday, the week ahead will be pretty nice for us overall. Looking ahead, a juicy atmospheric river may reach Colorado during the upcoming weekend with substantial Mountain snow in the works. Read on for all the details.

The onset of snowfall Tuesday evening was earlier and heavier than expected leading to booming overnight snow totals which range from 1 to 10″ across the Front Range already. We’re still far from done with this storm and its associated challenging forecast, with additional light snow expected today and Thursday, followed by potentially heavier snow late on Friday as the main storm system passes directly across eastern Colorado. Read on for the latest developments on what should be a cold and snowy rest of the week!
The first two storm systems of the season capable of producing snow across the lower elevations mostly missed the mark, with only a small portion of the Denver Metro area reporting snow so far this season. Neither Boulder or Denver have officially received any snowfall since April. That will definitely change this week, perhaps as early as Sunday night as a light round of rain changing to snow is expected. Furthermore, a complicated, unsettled weather pattern will unfold the rest of the week in Colorado keeping our temperatures well below normal with almost daily chances for more rain and snow. We’re fairly confident everyone will see additional light accumulating snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, with a potential for a more impactful storm late in the week into the weekend, including possible blizzard conditions. We truly have a lot to cover in this week’s outlook, so let’s dive in!
