Winter Weather Update: A warm El Niño storm is headed our way this weekend with snow amounts remaining somewhat uncertain

February 2, 2024 / BoulderCAST Team

After five straight sixty-degree days with quiet weather, things will turn cooler and unsettled for the weekend ahead as a sloppy El Niño storm moves through bringing a mix bag of precipitation to the Front Range. While there is still plenty of uncertainty in the exact outcome for Boulder and Denver, we discuss the latest forecast details including when the rain will start (including some rumbles of thunder), when and where it will change over to snow, which ski resorts will be rolling in powder this weekend, and most importantly — the expected moisture and snowfall amounts across the Front Range area. Let’s dive in!

We got our first taste of 60-degrees in the New Year on Sunday and those sixties will continue through much of the week ahead as high pressure dominates our weather.

With the Great Arctic Blast of 2024 starting to wrap up across Front Range Colorado, the weather week ahead will be comparatively less eventful. However, there are multiple disturbances lined up in the coming days which will bring waves of moderate to heavy snow in the Mountains as well as a small chance of wintry precipitation to the Metro area.
