November 2024 was exceptionally moist across most of eastern Colorado, with some locations nabbing their wettest November on record. In Boulder, we received a respectable 2.64″ of moisture, good enough for 4th all-time since the late 1800s. While there is certainty still more work to do, the widespread wet weather allowed for modest drought improvement across much of the state. Despite a late and lackluster start to the snow season, Boulder and Denver have both surged above normal season-to-date. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.
October was yet another exceptionally warm and dry month in the Front Range, with most areas landing more than six degrees above average while receiving very little if any precipitation. The period of May to October only produced 4.64″ of precipitation in Boulder, the driest such stretch in recorded history. It’s no surprise that drought has further expanded across the region. In contrast to our boring weather, space-related activity was booming in October with multiple nights of auroras lighting up Colorado’s skies and a multi-week comet display. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.
Get ready, Colorado! The first snowflakes and a hard freeze of the season are on their way as this dramatic shift in weather across the state continues. Better late than never, right? We discuss when the snow will begin, how much could stick on the grassy surfaces, and when to expect the end to the 2024 growing season as temperatures are sure to plummet below freezing. We’re also tracking another potential snow event early next week. Here’s the latest.

It’s been quite a long time since our last measurable precipitation in the Front Range, but that will change abruptly this weekend with the arrival of our next autumn storm system. Unfortunately the slow-moving low pressure will dive too far south into Arizona, largely fizzling out before ever reaching northeast Colorado. Nonetheless, it will bring a bit of rain, snow and much colder temperatures to our area for a few days. Read on for our latest thoughts on how the unsettled weekend ahead will play out. We also briefly review the entries to our 2024 First Snowfall Contest with predictions actually trending towards a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest (color us shocked!). There will indeed be some snowflakes in our forecast domain this weekend, but Boulder is not expected to see accumulating snow.

The Front Range will unfortunately see a continuation of unseasonably warm and bone dry weather this week. With a strong ridge of high pressure parked over the region, temperatures will remain summer-like in the lower 80s for the most part. While a couple of weak cold fronts may bring slight temperature drops, there will not be any precipitation. Wildfire smoke from neighboring states will intermittently affect our air quality. We also look ahead to a pattern shift next week which should bring welcomed changes. Read on for all the details.
