The well-advertised dip in the jet stream set to bomb out across eastern Colorado is still very much on-track to end the work week. The forecast for this springtime beast has remained largely unchanged since our last forecast update on Monday when we detailed that this monster storm would primarily be a wind-maker for us. We discuss which parts of Colorado will see the strongest winds, where the limited rain and snow will fall, and the ensuing mess this storm will cause as it races across the nation in the days ahead. Read on for the latest details.

Two different low pressure systems will impact Colorado to end the work week, but unfortunately they will both largely miss the Front Range — one too far north and the other too far south. The Boulder-Denver area will still catch some light precipitation and colder temperatures, but potential snow accumulations are expected to be light and remain mostly west of Interstate 25 and in the Foothills. Things clear out nicely just in time for the weekend, with sunny skies and 70-degree temperatures not far off. Here’s the latest.
Last night’s quick-hitting snowstorm hit with a bang in the southwest Denver Metro area and southern Foothills, with locally heavy snowfall up to 20″ falling in parts of Jefferson County. Elsewhere, snow amounts fell well in-line with our forecast, including some Front Range cities not receiving a single snowflake! We review how the storm unfolded, the snow totals from across the region and look ahead to the remarkably warm and sunny weather about to take center stage.
A several hour period of banded snowfall impacted the entire Front Range during the daytime hours on Saturday as a weak system, with embedded jet energy, moved across the area from the northwest. We briefly review both the snow totals from this single storm and the seasonal ones.
Our second Arctic Blast of 2025 is already underway! The first round of bitter cold has already gripped the Front Range, with light snow falling last night and temperatures plunging into single digits this morning. However, the worst is yet to come! Another wave of Arctic air is set to sweep through later on Tuesday, bringing several inches of snowfall and eventually sub-zero temperatures to the entire area. We discuss the latest forecast details, including when this next round of snow will begin and end, expected snowfall amounts across the area, and just how cold it will get in the days ahead.
Hot on the heels of an extremely warm and dry end to 2024, January landed on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with well above normal snowfall and very cold conditions across much of Colorado, including here in Boulder. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.
A medium-impact winter storm is headed for eastern Colorado, bringing some snowfall and strong winds to parts of the Denver Metro area late Wednesday night into Thursday afternoon. Weather models show varying predictions, but the southern and southeast suburbs of Denver are favored most for up to a couple inches of snow, with higher totals possible along and east of the Palmer Divide. We discuss the rift in the model guidance that is leading to the uncertainty, as well as the latest timing and most likely outcome from this somewhat warmer southern-track winter storm.
After a definitively wet November in the Front Range, Mother Nature did a complete one-eighty with December landing one of the warmest and least snowy on record in many locations, topped off with our first rainy Christmas in 82 years! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.
