October 2020 checked most of the weather boxes, with record warmth, persistent drought, a dumping of snow, explosive wildfire growth, a dust storm, freezing drizzle, and historic cold. Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
If you recall, Mother Nature threw a greasy wrench into our usual “First Snow” contest this year, delivering the earliest ever snowfall in Boulder’s history before we even announced the annual contest! But the show must go on, and this year predictions surrounded the date and amount of Boulder’s second snowfall of the season. With that having now come and gone this week, it’s time to announce the winners of the contest!
As the two largest wildfires in state history were burning across north-central Colorado this weekend, Mother Nature delivered big changes via an Arctic airmass and widespread snowfall. We take a look back at what was a mostly jet-driven snowfall event across the Front Range, go over the snowfall totals, the potential impact on the fire zones, and look ahead to warmer times.
How uncommon is an October snowstorm of this magnitude during La Niña ? How much snow are we expecting for our area? Will the bitter cold temperatures actually end up hurting the snow potential? Listen to find out!
Winter weather is right around the corner for northern Colorado with two storm systems set to impact the area in the coming days. The first will produce freezing drizzle and light snow Thursday night, while the second will usher in bitter cold temperatures and accumulating snow for Sunday and Monday. We discuss both storms and give our initial thoughts on potential snowfall accumulations for the weekend.
Can the names of “Greek” hurricanes ever be retired from future usage? What is it like to launch weather balloons in Greenland during blizzard conditions? Will our always improving weather models ever make us meteorologists obsolete? Listen to find out?
There may not be much white stuff in the High Country yet, at least the real stuff, but we are picking up a little bit of snow headed to Colorado’s mountains this weekend! This is great news, as many local ski resorts will be opening up in the coming weeks, with or without Mother Nature’s cooperation. If you aren’t aware, we offer a suite of ski forecast products powered by machine learning called PowderCAST. Read on to learn more and get a jump start on the first “POW day” of the season, whenever that may be!
