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!

These posts contain information about the long-term weather patterns of Boulder County. Potential topics may include 30-day weather outlooks, El Nino/La Nina, and seasonal forecasts. You will find less about the day-to-day weather, with more focus on longer trends and patterns.
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.
The day of giving thanks and eating delicious food is nearly upon us, and whether you are ready or not, so too are the snowflakes which will make a return to the entire Front Range beginning Thursday afternoon and evening with snowflakes staying in the forecast into Saturday. Temperatures will also plummet well below freezing the next few days. We discuss the timing of the snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
Update (Thu 11/23 7AM): Ensembles have cut back on snow amounts by about 20%, so we’ve decreased snow amounts accordingly. The biggest snow totals from this storm are still expected to be around Boulder, with much lower impacts elsewhere in the Metro area.
A quiet and mild weather pattern will be in place this week. Highs will largely be in the mid to upper 60s with a fair amount of sunshine most days. A late-week cold front Thursday into Friday will initially bring fire danger to the area followed by a slight drop in temperatures. We are watching a closed upper-low which could impact the state over the upcoming weekend with rain/snow showers in tow, but model uncertainty remains. Read on for more details.

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.
What a wonderful weekend it was across the Front Range culminating with sunshine and record high temperatures on Sunday! The warmth will continue for just a couple more days here before a midweek weather system will usher in much colder temperatures alongside the threat of rain and snow, including potential heavy snow in the Foothills. Uncertainty remains elevated for this storm overall, but change is definitely headed this way. Read on for the latest details.
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.
