Front Range temperatures through the week will largely hover near to above normal, though there will be a brief dip in temperatures one day behind a late-spring cold front. Rain chances will focus on the early to middle part of the week with our best shot of raindrops coming on Wednesday. Drier and warmer weather will resume for the latter part of the week with 80-degree temperatures in sight. We also provide an update on the chance of seeing more aurora this week. Read on for more details.

Despite having a two-week-long dry stretch thrown into the mix, the month of April concluded wetter than normal for most of the Front Range. However, much of this moisture came from a soaking rainstorm (with a little snow) near the end of the month. Nonetheless, 2024 has begun as one of the all-time wettest in Boulder. We also endured an intense downslope windstorm near the beginning of April, but who could forget that? Xcel Energy customers sure wouldn’t! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.

After another round of spring snow over the weekend, the pattern will stay somewhat active across the Front Range this week, but with the warmer late April temperatures translating to only rain chances for the lower elevations. Unfortunately it looks like the gloom will stick around into the upcoming weekend as well. Let’s take a look.
After a month long hiatus, widespread accumulating snowfall will return to the Front Range late Friday as a classic jet-forced banded snowfall event unfolds across the area. While final snowfall totals will undoubtedly vary from location to location, we discuss the latest details of the springtime snowflakes knocking on our door, including when things will commence and expected travel impacts.
Warm temperatures, low humidity, and strong gusty winds will start our week with continued fire danger across the Plains. A strong area of low pressure will also bring the threat of rain showers late Monday into Tuesday to the Denver Metro area, with heavy snow piling up in the Mountains. Later in the week, a cold front will slide down ushering in below normal temperatures and upslope flow. A prolonged period of unsettled weather will follow this front, with even some late-season snow possible in the Metro area and heavy snow looking likely in the Foothills. Read on to find out more.
