April 13, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

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.

March 26, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

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.

Premium Storm Update – Tue 2/14/23 3:00PM | A comb through the latest model output breeds confidence in the going forecast

February 14, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

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.
