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.
Colorado Forecast Update: There’s still no clear-cut end to our relentless warm & dry spell in sight
The Front Range is experiencing an exceptionally quiet and warm early autumn weather pattern that is expected to persist through the weekend and into next week. This prolonged dry spell is due to a stubborn ridge of high pressure over the southwestern United States, preventing any significant weather systems from reaching Colorado. Despite a couple of weak cold fronts, temperatures will remain well above normal throughout the extended, with record highs possible on Saturday. Unfortunately, there is no significant rain or snow in the pipeline, exacerbating the ongoing drought and increasing fire danger across the region. Here’s the latest on what is becoming a dire situation.

In this final week of summer, Front Range Colorado will experience a mix of weather conditions. We’re tracking two main chances for rain in the extended: a quick shot of severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and then widespread upslope showers by Friday or Saturday as autumn weather arrives right on schedule. The week will stay warm with temperatures in the 80s, but cooler, unsettled weather is looming for the weekend. Read on for the latest details.
