The mid-March monster winter storm was definitely the highlight of the month, but other snowfalls and persistently cold temperatures were also noteworthy. As a result of the wet month, we saw some regional drought improvement, but Colorado as a whole remains in a very tough spot heading into the summer and wildfire season. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during March 2021 and how it relates to climatology.

From 70’s to falling snow in only eight hours! That’s the weather that unfolded Monday afternoon into the overnight hours across the Front Range, with most of us waking up to a layer of wet snow Tuesday morning. Let’s take a look how we got here, review the storm totals, and take a peek ahead to the beautiful weather in the extended forecast.
Two, yes two, storm systems combined to produce a period of wet snow across the Front Range Tuesday afternoon and night. Let’s take a look at the totals.
The Front Range will reside directly between two nearby storm systems Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Together they will provide a unique atmospheric setup favoring snowfall across mainly the Foothills, but also the western and southern Denver Metro area. Let’s take a look at the interesting setup, timing, and projected snowfall amounts.
A weak trough moved across Colorado on the evening of March 21st producing light to moderate snowfall across the area. Southern portions of the Denver Metro area were hit hardest due to a lingering band of heavier snow along a frontal boundary. Let’s take a look at the totals.
There is so much to unpack with this storm, from the moment it caught our eye a week in advance until the last snowflakes were flying, it was one-of-a-kind snowstorm and a true Front Range weather experience. We discuss the forecasting challenges leading up to the event, why many folks lost patience with this storm, and the massive snow totals the system eventually dumped across the Denver Metro area.
We provide a quick update on the situation this morning as wet snow continues to fall across the Front Range. While the storm has been underwhelming to some, we’ve still got nearly 24 hours of snowstorm left and a clear pathway to reach the lower bounds of our original snowfall prediction. Let’s run through the latest.
The winter storm we’ve been tracking all week long is finally bearing down on Front Range Colorado and forecast confidence is not as high as we’d like this late in the game. We discuss the latest developments, including multiple pathways for a bust east of Interstate 25, and provide our latest snowfall forecast map.
