Light but fluffy snow is falling across the entire Front Range this morning. In today’s update, we take a look at current travel conditions around the area, how much snow has already fallen and what is still to come based on the latest model data. Plus a look at just how cold it will get for the night ahead with clearing skies and fresh snow on the ground.

Ben grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania and holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Meteorology, the latter being from CU Boulder. His hometown received nearly three feet of snow from the Storm of the Century back in March of 1993, sparking his initial interest in impactful weather. Ben currently works on remote sensing and data analysis software at L3Harris Technologies in Boulder.
The entire Front Range woke up to picturesque conditions today on Sunday as overnight light snow and freezing fog coated nearly every surface in a dusting of ice crystals — turning local communities into unique snow globes. We review the snow totals from the wintry event, one which produced at most a dusting in the Denver Metro area, but up to several inches in the Mountains and areas to the east.
Shallow cold air has surged back into the Front Range overnight, causing temperatures to tumble and dense freezing fog to form. While the higher elevations enjoy sunshine and milder temperatures Saturday, the Plains remain in the 20s. An incoming storm system will bring light snowfall and reinforce the cold air Saturday evening, with the best chances of accumulating snow east of DIA and towards Kansas and Nebraska. We discuss just how cold it will be this weekend, the timing of the snow, and how much to expect. We also look ahead to our next and better chance of snow coming early in the upcoming week.

Westerly winds will quickly ramp up Monday morning with widespread gusts of 40 to 60 MPH expected across much of eastern Colorado today. While the latest model runs have indeed weakened the forecasted winds somewhat, fire danger will definitely be elevated through the day. We review the latest model data and provide an update on how the high winds, Mountain snow, and fire risk will unfold on Monday.
NOTE: Due to the ongoing weather event, our usual weekly outlook forecast will be posted on Tuesday this week. Check back then for a broader outlook of the next five days.

After days and days of warm and dry weather, things in the Front Range are taking an interesting turn right in time for Christmas. A trough of low pressure is moving into the Four Corners area right now with a mix of clouds and sunshine out ahead of it. Later in the day, a cold front will move through from the northeast leading to scattered showers spawning across the western Metro area. Mostly rain is expected for the lower elevations which will be largely too warm, but Foothills communities could pick up a few slushy inches this evening to nab a white Christmas after all! We discuss a bit of Christmas climatology for Boulder, the weather setup at hand today, the latest timing of the rain/snow showers, and just how much accumulation may fall this evening and where.
