PREMIUM STORM UPDATE (Issued Mon Oct 8 at 7:00 AM): Checking in on our chances for snow. READ NOW
Have you heard? A major dip in the jet stream this weekend will lead to much cooler temperatures and snow for the northern Rockies. We discuss what this means for the Front Range. Our advice: enjoy the relatively warm temperatures while you can!
The first week of October will be busy as a series of systems trek through the state from the southwest. The first will be the remnants of Hurricane Rosa. The second will be a quick-moving cut-off system. These will lead to the chance of showers and a few thundershowers through the week. We’re also tracking unsettled weather for the weekend with both rain and snow for the state of Colorado.
We discuss the very chilly temperatures for your Friday, the quick warm-up headed our way for the weekend, and the possible impacts of Hurricane Rosa’s remnants early next week.
Cooler weather returns to the state starting tomorrow, followed by a gradual warming trend by week’s end. We detail the week ahead and the return of wildfire smoke. Read on for more details.
