This Week in Colorado Weather: February 5, 2024

The first week of February starts off dry and mild as high pressure ridging and downslope flow will develop across the Front Range helping to chip away at the fresh, sloppy snowpack. A midweek system will favor mode cloud cover and winds, along with a low-end chance of rain or snow, though these will mostly be confined to the higher terrain.

Uncertainty is unsurprisingly quite high being six days out, but early indication does show a good chance for a significant accumulation of heavy wet snow in the Metro area following a period of rain.
