A shortwave trough from the Pacific Northwest will track into the Desert Southwest over the next few days and be a player for our weather through much of the week ahead. A cold front moving south Monday night will bring a threat of a wintry mix of freezing drizzle, snow and rain into early Tuesday, with some slick spots possible in Boulder and Fort Collins. Afterwards, the system is forecast to remain south of us the rest of the week but could bring a slight chance of snow for the Front Range Plains Wednesday or Thursday — but that chance is slim. Otherwise, this week will be mainly dry with below normal temperatures preceding a warming trend heading into the weekend. The outlook for a “white” Christmas is also not looking so good. Read on for more details.
A dangerous downslope windstorm is about to unfold in the Foothills to the west on Thursday with gusts up to 90 MPH. It will be warm and gusty across the lower elevations as well, with a chance for very strong gusts in the usual windy spots like Boulder. A trough will move into the area on Friday turning our temperatures much colder with several chances for light snow. Read on as we discuss those powerful winds and the incoming snowfall.
Most of the week ahead in the Front Range will feature dry weather with well above normal temperatures for early December. However, we are closely tracking our next storm system set to arrive on Friday with much colder temperatures returning alongside a good chance of snowflakes. Read on for the latest details on what should be yet another spirited week in Colorado weather!
After the holiday cold and dumping of snow, temperatures this week will trend back above normal by midweek with low to perhaps middle 50s taking hold. A cold front moves south late Wednesday into Thursday, with temperatures then falling back below average to close out the week. While chances of precipitation appear limited at this point, we do have to keep our eye on two potential systems late in the week and into the weekend. Read on for more details.
