Nothing is ever easy in Front Range weather! The incoming spring, or shall we say winter, storm remains a very challenging forecast as models struggle to resolve where the heaviest precipitation will fall Wednesday into Thursday, the precise timing on when rain will change to snow, and exactly where temperatures will bottom out at overnight. All of these factors are coming together to make for a complicated blend of moderate to heavy rain and soupy snow this evening into Thursday. Most models would have us believe a deluge of precipitation is about to unleash on the Denver area, but there are some red flags. We discuss the latest on this evolving storm which is sure to create quite the mess for everyone over the next 36 hours.
Mother Nature just won’t cut us a break in 2022! Can you believe that another Arctic blast is headed our way with more snow and even colder temperatures. The Arctic front arrives before dawn on Wednesday and will be followed by an extended period of snow. Snow could be heavy at times Wednesday afternoon into the evening, and may not fully wrap up until Thursday afternoon. We discuss the setup, timing, and likely snowfall amounts as another frigid airmass ominously descends on the Front Range.
Premium Storm Update (3/9/22 7:00AM): Overnight model runs have further confirmed the chance for scattered heavy snow bands to develop Wednesday afternoon and evening. We discuss the latest on the storm as snow has already begun falling from Boulder County northward. READ HERE
Our warm weather streak is still on-track to come to an end Friday evening after sunset, with isolated thundershowers followed by rain changing to wet snow overnight into early Saturday morning. In this brief update, we discuss the timing of everything, potential accumulations, and look ahead to Sunday as a colder system will enter the picture bringing more snow.
February picked up up right where January left off with a flurry of snowfall! February 2022 was the 3rd snowiest and 4th wettest on record in Boulder — just what we needed to help with the ongoing severe drought. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during February and how it relates to climatology.
It’s been another day stuck in the Arctic airmass, but at least we’ve got a little sun this afternoon. The slow-moving storm responsible for this extreme cold and snow will finally begin to push eastward tonight through Thursday. This will dump another round of light snow upon us before things dry out and temperatures start to climb back towards normal in the coming days. We discuss how much snow has fallen so far and what is still to come this evening. Plus a look at when we will get back above freezing
The Arctic chill is REAL this morning as temperatures hover around zero degrees with wind chills much colder than that! We provide an update on the blast of winter currently engulfing the Front Range, including a review of the snowfall totals so far, the expected record cold temperatures to be challenged in the coming days, and a look at how much snow is still to come.
