As wet as it was early in 2022, things really dried out fast over the course of March and April. Several grass fires were reported across the state on twenty or more Red Flag days that occurred during the month. When it was all said and done, Boulder had just one day of measurable rainfall in April and no measurable snow at all! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.

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.
Much-needed light rain and snow showers fell across the area on Sunday, the first precipitation many of us have seen in over two weeks. The period ahead will unfortunately not continue that trend with mostly dry conditions and above normal temperatures expected to close out the month of April. We are watching a potential storm around the Friday timeframe. Once again it looks to offer wind and elevated fire danger, but sadly little in the way of precipitation. Read on for our full outlook of the weather week ahead.
This is an important forecast discussion involving a particularly dangerous situation that will unfold on Friday with extremely explosive fire conditions all day long. We review the atmospheric ingredients leading to such a dire situation and look at just how common days like this are in our climatology (spoiler: it’s very rare).
The last month has been very dry across the Denver Metro area with the progress we’ve made this year towards eradicating the drought starting to reverse. Wind and high fire danger have been rampant of late and that isn’t going to change this week, though it won’t be nearly as bad as recent times. Temperatures will be up and down through the days ahead, but prospects for any precipitation remain woefully slim.
Though the weather pattern remained fairly active and snowy, March 2022 broke the short streak of months with above average precipitation in Boulder. The NCAR Fire, which sparked on the 26th, somewhat curbed the community’s positivity about the improving drought situation since the New Year. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during March and how it relates to climatology.
February picked up up right where January left off with a flurry of snowfall! February 2022 was the 3rd snowiest and 4th wettest on record in Boulder — just what we needed to help with the ongoing severe drought. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during February and how it relates to climatology.
If last week was considered the winter deep freeze, this week shall be the spring thaw! The main story for the majority of the week ahead will be above normal high temperatures and dry conditions under a strong mid-level ridge of high pressure. A storm system moving onshore along the West Coast on Thursday will return our area to a more unsettled pattern late Friday into the weekend, along with a likelihood of snow and colder air filtering in. Read on for more details.
The upcoming week will feature a drastic change in our weather as a late-season Arctic airmass surges in on Monday and remains locked across the Front Range through at least Friday. Alongside the bitter cold temperatures will be a handful of light snow chances from President’s Day Monday through Wednesday night that will bring a wide range in potential snowfall totals. We’re expecting the highest amounts in and near the Foothills, including Boulder. Read on for the full details on what is surely to be a frigid and snowy week ahead.
