November 2023 was yet another warm and dry month in Boulder with just one medium-sized snowfall event to speak of —- that occurred the day after Thanksgiving. Despite the relatively parched last few months, officially drought has not yet returned to the Front Range. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.

A dangerous downslope windstorm is about to unfold in the Foothills to the west on Thursday with gusts up to 90 MPH. It will be warm and gusty across the lower elevations as well, with a chance for very strong gusts in the usual windy spots like Boulder. A trough will move into the area on Friday turning our temperatures much colder with several chances for light snow. Read on as we discuss those powerful winds and the incoming snowfall.
A wintry storm system will impact Colorado Wednesday morning into Thursday morning, but it’s not bringing much cold air to the party! This will lead to only minor impacts across the Denver Metro area as a mix of rain and snow is expected for most of the event, with a trend towards all snow at the tail-end as precipitation will be wrapping up. Greater travel impacts are expected in the Foothills where temperatures will be colder and up to 8 inches of snow may accumulate. We discuss the timing of the rain and snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
October 2023 was an overall warm and very dry month in Boulder, but the days leading up to Halloween turned markedly colder with our first snowfall of the season arriving just a tad later than usual, and it was a sizable one for many! Despite the dry last few months, officially drought has not yet returned to the Front Range. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
It’s been over six months now, but winter weather is finally set to return to the Front Range this weekend as the coldest air of the season shows up alongside several inches of fluffy snow. An interesting weather setup will have a stalled jet streak directly over Colorado Saturday evening seeding a lengthy period of scattered heavy snow bands. Snowfall amounts, while still somewhat uncertain, have trended upward and some of us could see up to a foot of snow this weekend! Read on for our latest thoughts on the storm, including when the heaviest snow will be around, how much accumulation to expect and just how cold it will get. We also reveal the entries to our 2023 First Snowfall Contest since a winner for that will surely be crowned this weekend!
