It’s blustery out there this afternoon, but at least there is some sunshine. Our approaching winter storm is gearing up back across Nevada right now and it will be spreading widespread snow into the area tonight. Cold temperatures falling into the teens, gusty winds, and persistent light snow will make for slick travel through Wednesday evening. We run through a final check of the models regarding snow amounts, including a discussion of low and high-end potential for this storm and when it will finally wrap up on Wednesday.

January 2023 was our third consecutive anomalously cold and wet month in the Front Range with drought significantly improving during this time as a result. The month closed out with a bitter cold Arctic outbreak solidifying this January as the coldest since 2007 — something that will be felt in everyone’s wallet when the heating bill arrives. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.
There was a lot of complaining this week about the poor snow forecast, but it actually turned out pretty okay — not amazing, but definitely okay. Let’s take a quick look at the totals from across the area for what was a rather impressive winter storm by January standards. We also peek ahead to the cold and snowy stretch of weather to come.
Widespread heavy snow is on the way for the entire Front Range Tuesday evening into Wednesday afternoon. A few subtle changes in the forecast have led to us increasing snowfall amounts a tad across the region. Read on for our latest detailed forecast discussion, newly amended snowfall forecast map, updated storm timeline, and more!
December 2022 was a rather fickle month. Things started off somewhat warm and dry, and there was even a sizable wildfire just west of Boulder in the week leading up to Christmas. The weather quickly turned much colder and snowier for the holidays, including the coldest temperature reading in more than 30 years for the city. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.
⦁❶⦁ A mountain wave will lead to widespread gusty winds today, strongest in and near the Foothills in excess of 50 MPH
⦁❷⦁ Mostly sunny on Tuesday with highs in the middle 50s
⦁❸⦁ A storm system races across the state on Wednesday, but develops in an unfavorable location too far north and east for Denver — snow chances are not great
⦁❹⦁ Much cooler on Wednesday in the 30s with a slight chance of snow showers — 0 to 1″ of accumulation possible on the grassy surfaces
2023 began with a mixbag of wintry precipitation across the Front Range. While snow totals were generally on the light side, the mix in of freezing fog and freezing drizzle made things interesting. Let’s take a look at snowfall totals across the region.
