We’ve got a few more mild days ahead to end the work week, but as promised, winter will return for the holiday weekend in what is shaping up to be a challenging forecast indeed. We are finally starting to see better agreement in the various weather models, but things are still far from certain. Our weather will begin to trend downhill on Saturday with cooler temperatures and a chance of rain showers. Saturday night rain will change to snow with snow accumulation likely for all heading into Christmas Eve. Exact snowfall amounts and the timing of everything are still being worked out, but here’s our latest thoughts on the approaching holiday winter storm.

The work week ahead will feature veritably pleasant weather across the Front Range with warm temperatures and dry conditions persisting through Friday, including at least one day of potential record highs. However, things will take a drastic wintry turn for the upcoming weekend with accumulating snow highly likely in the days leading up the Christmas. Despite heaps of uncertainty, we also discuss the latest details for the evolving winter storm set to cause travel impacts across the broader High Plains region during the busy holiday weekend ahead.
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.
Most of the week ahead in the Front Range will feature dry weather with well above normal temperatures for early December. However, we are closely tracking our next storm system set to arrive on Friday with much colder temperatures returning alongside a good chance of snowflakes. Read on for the latest details on what should be yet another spirited week in Colorado weather!
After the holiday cold and dumping of snow, temperatures this week will trend back above normal by midweek with low to perhaps middle 50s taking hold. A cold front moves south late Wednesday into Thursday, with temperatures then falling back below average to close out the week. While chances of precipitation appear limited at this point, we do have to keep our eye on two potential systems late in the week and into the weekend. Read on for more details.
