This post had major contributions from at least two members of our team. The more meteorologists the better, right?
Have you noticed the drop in visibility across the Front Range over the last few days? This haziness is actually smoke from the 11,000+ acre Tinder Fire currently burning in central Arizona. This may only be a foreshadow of things to come later this summer as parts of southwestern Colorado and the Four Corners region have recently shifted into the most severe drought classification. We provide an update on the situation and take a look at snowpack statewide.
Over the last few days, weather models have shifted a few degrees warmer for the incoming spring storm. We discuss the implications and provide our preliminary snowfall forecast map.
Several favorable atmospheric components aligned to produce very strong winds across the Metro area Tuesday afternoon and evening. We look at the peak wind gusts and also check out the view from the space borne GOES-16 weather satellite.
It’s hard to believe that it has been three full-years since we began the BoulderCAST journey. We’ve come a long way since, transitioning from an idea envisioned by a few CU-Boulder grad students and alumni…to becoming a leader in Boulder and Denver weather that members of our community depend on today. While an anniversary is a great time to reflect on what we have accomplished already, we’re also looking ahead to the future.

The Pineapple Express was back at it again this past weekend. Another round of soaking rain struck California, with all that tropical moisture translating into heavy mountain snow across northern Colorado.
Following a relatively quiet stretch of weather, things are about to take a cold and snowy turn for the Metro area on Friday as a strong cold front moves into the region. Read our complete forecast covering the timing of those chilly temperatures and potential snow amounts.
