While this week’s weather in the Front Range won’t be as flashy as last week’s snowstorm, there is still plenty to discuss! A gradual pattern shift through the week will see warm and dry conditions get replaced with cooler and wetter weather in time. There will also be some fire danger and severe storms this week across eastern Colorado. Read on for all the details.

The sun is out Saturday morning and already working quickly to melt our most recent round of late-season snow in the Front Range. We briefly review the snowfall totals which greatly favored the western side of the Metro area including Boulder. We also tackle the question of whether this will be our final snowfall of the season or not.
Springtime snow is underway across the area with wet accumulations overnight up to 6 inches in the higher terrain (Estes Park) and up to 3.5 inches across the lower elevations (Boulder). We discuss the latest forecast details, including when we expect an uptick in snow coverage and intensity, how much more snow will accumulate, and when the flakes will come to an end.
Our highly-anticipated winter storm is taking shape some 500 miles to our west Thursday morning. Change will begin across the Denver Metro area Thursday afternoon and evening with the arrival of a strong cold front. After an initial chance of isolated thunderstorms, we’ll change over to frozen precipitation fully by midnight and never look back, with light snow continuing well into Friday night. Despite lots of melting and compaction, a few to several inches of heavy wet snow are expected in Boulder and Denver, with significantly more in the nearby Foothills. We discuss the latest storm timeline, how much sloppy snow will stick, and what type of travel and vegetation impacts to expect from this late-season spring snowstorm.

Following a rather benign stretch of weather this week so far, a strong storm system will bring winter weather back to the entire Front Range in the days ahead. After a warm day with fire danger on Thursday, a cold front will blow through in the early evening hours paving the way for a prolonged period of upslope-enhanced precipitation lasting into early Saturday. While the predominant precipitation type will indeed be snow with this storm, even across the lower elevations, there will be a lot of melting happening limiting the overall impacts and potential snow accumulation. We discuss the latest storm details, how much moisture will fall, and how much wet snow this will translate into for the area.
After a round of light rain and snow overnight, quiet weather will ensue for the Front Range through midweek with limited chances for rainfall and temperatures trending upwards. However, our main focus is towards a soggy late-week storm system which will bring widespread rain and snow to the area. While still somewhat uncertain, several inches of spring snow are looking increasingly likely for us, even across the lower elevations. Read on for all the details.

Following a chilly and unsettled first week of April, this week will be much quieter across Colorado with generally warm and dry conditions favored throughout the entire week under the protection of high pressure. Temperatures will fluctuate a tad due to a pair of dry backdoor cold fronts, but otherwise this week will offer-up gorgeous spring weather. That theme will continue right into the upcoming weekend with the first 80-degree temperatures of the year likely. Read on for all the details.
