This week in Colorado weather will feature favorable upslope conditions across the Mountains into at least midweek, but mostly dry conditions and seasonal temperatures for the Plains. The deep moisture will bring hefty snow totals to the High Country over the coming days, with powder measured by the foot in many areas. Little if any precipitation will occur across the Denver Metro area, though Wednesday will bring our best chance with a stronger trough of low pressure moving through. The week ends with drier zonal flow but there are some signs of a possible snow event developing for the weekend.

A potent atmospheric river event is ongoing across the southwestern United States right now including portions of western Colorado. After our warmest day in more than four months on Wednesday, this moist system will enter the picture for the Front Range Wednesday night with rain changing to snow across the Plains and Foothills as a cold front slides through. Though the best upslope will be south and southwest of Denver with this event, most everyone will see snowflakes amounting to a several inches in some places and just a dusting in others. Let’s take a look at the expecting timing of the change-over to snow, snowfall amounts, and the travel impacts in the works as winter weather returns to the Front Range.
This week’s weather will feature a resurgence of winter across the Front Range, but in typical fashion it will be immediately preceded by a few days of spring-like conditions including potentially our first 70-degree day of 2023. The bottom is set to fall out Wednesday night with rain changing to wet snow across the region. Though there is still some uncertainty due to the lead time, accumulating snowfall looks very likely for almost everyone in the Metro area. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead.
The week ahead will largely feature colder than normal temperatures with just minor chances for precipitation on several of the days. A frontal boundary will waver along and south of the Front Range through the week ahead leaving our area stuck in a pesky chilly airmass. A series of shortwave troughs will track through but for the most part remain north of our region leading to just limited rain/snow potential east of the Mountains. We detail all of this and more in our regularly-scheduled weekly outlook.
The week ahead will indeed be an active one across the Front Range as an unsettled pattern remains entrenched across the western United States for the foreseeable future. This will spell out periods of gusty downslope winds, persistently cool temperatures and at least one or two chances for snowfall this week in our area, with the best shot coming Wednesday evening and night.
The sun is out but temperatures are way below zero this Thursday morning! Here’s a few highlights from the ongoing Arctic blast as snow wraps up and a slow warming trend begins across the Front Range.
A massive and complex storm is set to slam the entire western United States over the next several days. The Front Range will catch the bitter cold and snowy side of the storm with up to a foot of snowfall possible by Wednesday night alongside record-challenging frigid temperatures. We discuss the latest timing of things, just how cold it will get, the most likely snowfall amounts for the area, and the overall impacts expected from the looming winter storm.
Premium Storm Update (2/21/23 7:00PM): After a beautiful time in the 60s Tuesday, things are starting to look more stormy out there as the sun sets behind darkened clouds. It’s hard to believe, but snow will be falling in less than 12 hours in most areas with temperatures dropping into the single digits and teens in a flash! We run through a final check of the models looking at snow amounts, travel impacts and those cold temperatures. READ HERE
