Winter Weather Update: A slow-moving, upslope-infused winter storm arrives late Thursday with several inches of snow up for grabs (Updated)

After a long, quiet stretch following last week’s snow squall, winter weather will return to the Front Range as a slow-moving but ultimately weak storm system impacts the area to end the work week. We discuss the long-duration of weak upslope about to unfold, the potential snowfall amounts across the area, and when travel will become slick.

Update (Thursday 3/7/24 7:00AM): We’ve now concerned that heavy snow the far eastern areas of Colorado on Thursday will reduce the amount of upslope/moisture that make it back westward into the Front Range. We’ve seen models trend downward in snow amounts slightly for our entire area, especially east of I-25. Thus, we’ve scaled back snow amounts slightly for the region. Please check our updated snowfall map, model forecast graphics, and storm impact timeline throughout this post. We talk about this last-minute shift and much more in Thursday morning’s Premium discussion HERE.

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 03/06/24 | Pushing towards 60 degrees today, but uncertainty abounds for potential heavy snow arriving late Thursday!

Relatively benign west-southwest flow remains draped across Colorado today as we sit between several broader storm systems --- a cold trough sliding east across southern portions of Canada and the subtropical jet stream to our south in Arizona and New Mexico.

Mother Nature will mostly offer up seasonal temperatures and dry conditions to the Denver Metro area through midweek. There will be a few disturbances Tuesday and Wednesday embedded in the southwest flow aloft, but these will mainly impact the higher terrain. However, we are watching a late-week cold front which will usher in colder temperatures, upslope flow and likely produce widespread accumulating snow for most of the Front Range. Let’s take a look!

The next several days will be gorgeous across Front Range Colorado as a brief ridge sits over the area and we await the arrival of the next weather system late in the upcoming weekend.

Winter “Storm” Recap: An extremely brief snow squall brought dangerous whiteout conditions to the entire area Tuesday morning, but not much actual snow

In dramatic fashion, an intense snow squall blew up over Boulder Tuesday morning and spread across the entire Denver Metro area leading to brief whiteout conditions just after the morning commute window. The heavy snowfall ended as quickly as it began, leaving behind rather unimpressive snowfall totals in the Front Range. However, as they say, it’s not about where you end up — it’s about how you got there! We discuss the crazy weather that unfolded on Tuesday and take a look at the snowfall totals.

This Week in Colorado Weather: February 26, 2024

The upcoming week will offer what we consider classic Front Range springtime weather with high fire danger Monday preceding a snowy system on Tuesday. Latest model guidance keeps amounts on the light side for the Metro area, but the Mountains will see heavy snow, strong winds and dangerous travel. Things turn quiet for the second half of the week, but another storm system is expected to bring more snow for the upcoming weekend. Let’s take a look.
