This Week in Colorado Weather: February 12, 2024

February 12, 2024 /

After our second snowy weekend in a row, things will stay quiet across the Front Range for much of the upcoming week with seasonal temperatures and lots of sunshine. However, that will change late-week as a quick-hitting Arctic cold front will surge south across the area. This front will likely be accompanied by at least a little bit of wintry precipitation, but the cold won’t stick around long at all. We also look ahead to several more devastating atmospheric river events set to slam California — their remnant moisture will likely spread into our Mountains to further bolster statewide snowpack. Read on for all the details.

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Sun 02/11/24 | A sunny Super Bowl Sunday “kicks off” the melting

February 11, 2024 /

As of Sunday morning, the mid-level low pressure which was responsible for yesterday's light snowfall here (but not Friday night's heavy snowfall) continues to head eastward. It is currently located in east-central New Mexico, about to cross over into Texas. The final track of the storm was a touch further south than advertised, but the snow event played out more …

Snow, heavy at times, was falling through most of the overnight period across the Denver Metro area.

February 9, 2024 /

After a largely quiet work-week with seasonal temperatures and dry conditions across most of the Front Range, winter weather will make a return for the second weekend in a row! A series of disturbances will impact Colorado over the next couple days seeding the return of snow to the area. Winter weather will come in two parts — the first Friday night with locally heavy convective snowfall expected. A second wave of more widespread, but lighter snow will develop Saturday behind a weak cold front. Let’s take a look at the latest forecast for Super Bowl weekend, including our expected snowfall totals and the timing of the worst travel conditions.

The few remaining patches of clouds overnight have mostly cleared out this morning across the Front Range, as seen from the current GOES-East infrared satellite animation below. The Pacific storm we've been eyeing all week is about to make its way into California with deep subtropical moisture already spreading ashore now. We have one more really nice day on tap …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 01/31/24 | A warm end to January, the weekend rain/snow forecast continues to be a messy one

January 31, 2024 /

On this glorious last day of January, another outing of spring-like weather is expected across the Front Range as broad ridging sits across the West through the day. The primary ridge axis has now passed east of our area with southwest flow ensuing aloft. The greatest warm anomalies under this persistent ridge pattern have been well north of Colorado all …

January 30, 2024 /

Happy Tuesday,  everyone! We've got another warm and beautiful day lined up as a ridge of high pressure continues to dominate the weather across the western United States, with that generalization definitely including Colorado. The high pressure center is located almost squarely over the Four Corners point today with the Front Range under weak but (surprisingly) warm northerly flow aloft. …
