An atmospheric river event will bury the Mountains in holiday snow! There’s also a non-zero chance of snow in Boulder

December 22, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

We review the climatology of White Christmas conditions in Boulder, including a discussion on why Christmas Day has the second highest occurrence of snow on ground out of the entire year. We also discuss the upcoming pattern shift which will favor widespread snowfall in the Mountains and maybe a little white stuff in Boulder, too.

What looked like a somewhat good, though uncertain, chance of snow for us earlier in the week has transitioned to a situation where almost every weather model is now struggling to come up with much, if any, snow in the Denver Metro area tonight into Friday. Let’s take a look at what happened and how much snow is currently expected.

November 9, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

October 2021 was extremely dry for all of eastern Colorado and drought has exploded once again across the region. Other notable highlights during the month include the return of La Niña for a second winter in a row, magnificent fall colors, a drizzly Halloween, and the lack of any accumulating snowfall yet in Boulder or Denver. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.

Happy Friday! It sure is gorgeous out there today. Change is coming however as the weather pattern is set to shift just in time for Halloween and the end of the month. We discuss the latest forecast surrounding the much cooler and gloomier weather about to settle into northeast Colorado…and yes, it will offer another chance for Front Range cities to pick up their first snow of the season!

La Niña is set to return for a second winter in a row, but what does this mean for Colorado?

For the second year in a row, La Niña conditions are expected to develop and last through the upcoming winter. We discuss the forecast, remind you what La Niña actually is, go over recent La Niña outcomes and explain the potential impacts this will have on Colorado for the rest of autumn.

With a chance of snowflakes in the forecast, here’s the entries to our 2021 First Snow Contest!

That’s good news because snow may be in the forecast right now. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow, BIG or SMALL!
