We hope you enjoyed the taste of summer as temperatures soared into the 70s and 80s the last several days because we will be paying for that warmth in short order as much colder temperatures and snowflakes take over the Front Range to end the week. A tricky forecast is set to unfold over the area Friday into Saturday with rain changing to wet spring snow for everyone. Up to 10″ could fall in the higher Foothills communities with even slushy accumulations on the table for the Denver-Boulder area. Let’s discuss the latest on the approaching winter storm.
Despite persistent and exceptionally cold weather, March has under-delivered on snow thus far with less than 2″ falling in Boulder since late February. More snow and cold is on the way Sunday night into Monday, but once again it looks to be another meager showing of snow. As of writing, uncertainty remains regarding exactly what will transpire with this event as a band of heavy snow may develop early Monday somewhere across the northern Front Range. Let’s take a look at the timing of everything, the most likely snowfall amounts, and the potential travel impacts as winter weather returns for the last Monday of March.
February 2023 was a chilly exclamation point on what was ultimately Boulder’s 2nd coldest winter in 30 years and the coldest since 2010. This very icy status was solidified by one of the most pronounced late February cold snaps on record. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during February and how it relates to climatology.
