November 2024 was exceptionally moist across most of eastern Colorado, with some locations nabbing their wettest November on record. In Boulder, we received a respectable 2.64″ of moisture, good enough for 4th all-time since the late 1800s. While there is certainty still more work to do, the widespread wet weather allowed for modest drought improvement across much of the state. Despite a late and lackluster start to the snow season, Boulder and Denver have both surged above normal season-to-date. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.
A midweek winter storm brought light accumulating snow to the Denver Metro area on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, with considerably more powder piling up in the Mountains. We briefly review the snow totals across the Front Range.
Get ready, Colorado! A major winter storm is on the horizon, promising to blanket the Mountains with up to 30 inches of snow and transform ski resorts into powder paradises. But that’s not all—rain will turn to snow in the Denver Metro area Tuesday night, potentially disrupting the Wednesday morning commute. Curious about the full forecast and how it might impact your Thanksgiving plans? Read on as we discuss the timing of the change-over to snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
October was yet another exceptionally warm and dry month in the Front Range, with most areas landing more than six degrees above average while receiving very little if any precipitation. The period of May to October only produced 4.64″ of precipitation in Boulder, the driest such stretch in recorded history. It’s no surprise that drought has further expanded across the region. In contrast to our boring weather, space-related activity was booming in October with multiple nights of auroras lighting up Colorado’s skies and a multi-week comet display. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
The well-advertised late-week winter storm delivered widespread wet snow to the entire Denver Metro area and nearby Foothills Thursday into Saturday, with some rain mixing in at times across the warmer northern tier.

We also discuss the shift back to sunny and dry conditions for the upcoming week.
After already delivering a thick blanket of snowfall earlier in the week, the very same storm system is set to boomerang back north and slam eastern Colorado once again with widespread precipitation Friday into Saturday. With temperatures not as cold as last time, the storm’s impact will vary across the region, with plenty of heavy snow to go around, but also unfortunately with chilly rain spoiling the party a bit for northern cities. We discuss expected snowfall amounts, potential travel impacts, and the unique meteorological conditions contributing to what will be an extreme event for some parts of eastern Colorado to end the week.
