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. A better chance of snow and colder temperatures appears to come Friday or Saturday with most guidance suggesting a favorable storm track for our area. Read on as we discuss this and more in our weekly outlook.

Winter Weather Update: A warm El Niño storm is headed our way this weekend with snow amounts remaining somewhat uncertain

After five straight sixty-degree days with quiet weather, things will turn cooler and unsettled for the weekend ahead as a sloppy El Niño storm moves through bringing a mix bag of precipitation to the Front Range.  While there is still plenty of uncertainty in the exact outcome for Boulder and Denver, we discuss the latest forecast details including when the rain will start (including some rumbles of thunder), when and where it will change over to snow, which ski resorts will be rolling in powder this weekend, and most importantly — the expected moisture and snowfall amounts across the Front Range area. Let’s dive in!

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Thu 02/01/24 | Final 60-degree day before things turn sloppy this weekend, plus our preliminary snowfall forecast map

The few remaining patches of clouds overnight have mostly cleared out this morning across the Front Range, as seen from the current GOES-East infrared satellite animation below. The Pacific storm we've been eyeing all week is about to make its way into California with deep subtropical moisture already spreading ashore now. We have one more really nice day on tap …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Wed 01/31/24 | A warm end to January, the weekend rain/snow forecast continues to be a messy one

On this glorious last day of January, another outing of spring-like weather is expected across the Front Range as broad ridging sits across the West through the day. The primary ridge axis has now passed east of our area with southwest flow ensuing aloft. The greatest warm anomalies under this persistent ridge pattern have been well north of Colorado all …

Premium BoulderCAST Daily – Tue 01/30/24 | Warmth & sunshine continue, plus our initial thoughts on snow amounts for the weekend

Happy Tuesday,  everyone! We've got another warm and beautiful day lined up as a ridge of high pressure continues to dominate the weather across the western United States, with that generalization definitely including Colorado. The high pressure center is located almost squarely over the Four Corners point today with the Front Range under weak but (surprisingly) warm northerly flow aloft. …

This Week in Colorado Weather: January 29, 2024

We got our first taste of 60-degrees in the New Year on Sunday and those sixties will continue through much of the week ahead as high pressure dominates our weather. However, as you’ve probably heard already, a potent Pacific storm is looming in the extended with a slew of impacts expected across the Front Range during the upcoming weekend. 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. Read on as we discuss not only the beautifully warm and sunny weather this week, but also the cold and snowy stuff brewing for the weekend.
