Dry and unseasonably warm conditions will continue across eastern Colorado for much of the week ahead. We discuss this along with an uncertain but interesting weather system for the upcoming weekend.

Thanks to several occurrences of localized jet-forced banded snow, the month of February saw stark differences in snow amounts across the Metro area. We recap the month and also take a look at the current standings in the 3-Month Snowfall Forecast Contest.
We begin the week with windy conditions, followed by a gradual warming trend into the 60’s to end the week. There may be a chance of snow by Saturday, but current model indications look meager at best.
Despite a generally troughy pattern remaining across the western United States this week, things in Colorado will be relatively quiet. Snow chances will be next to zero for the lower elevations, with only one brief period of light snow expected in the Mountains. Temperatures will also be much warmer this week compared to last.
Don’t let the sunny skies Friday morning fool you. Similar to the snowfall event on President’s Day, atmospheric components will briefly align this evening for banded snowfall to once again form across the Front Range. The Northwest Metro area appears to be favored again by the models, including Boulder, Louisville, Longmont, and Broomfield.
In the wake of last night’s snow, we start out the shortened work week on the nippy side with an Arctic airmass entrenched across the Front Range. Temperatures may not get above freezing until Friday. We are also watching three (yes three!) more chances for snow this week, especially on Friday, with the approach of another potent trough.
Happy President’s Day! A winter storm is impacting northern Colorado with snow and much colder temperatures today through Wednesday. Models are latching onto a track the will produce a sharp gradient in snow amounts across the Denver Metro area. Read on for our full forecast.
Our forecast for the holiday weekend covers two separate wind storms, very warm weather across the Plains, and President’s Day snowfall.
