It’s been over six months now, but winter weather is finally set to return to the Front Range this weekend as the coldest air of the season shows up alongside several inches of fluffy snow. An interesting weather setup will have a stalled jet streak directly over Colorado Saturday evening seeding a lengthy period of scattered heavy snow bands. Snowfall amounts, while still somewhat uncertain, have trended upward and some of us could see up to a foot of snow this weekend! Read on for our latest thoughts on the storm, including when the heaviest snow will be around, how much accumulation to expect and just how cold it will get. We also reveal the entries to our 2023 First Snowfall Contest since a winner for that will surely be crowned this weekend!

Change is on the way! Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue across the Front Range for a few more days leading up to a significant pattern shift later this week. A series of cold fronts will impact the area in the days to come, knocking our high temperatures from the 80s on Monday into the 40s by Friday, though precipitation looks scant during this timeframe. However, the first Arctic blast of the season is taking shape for the upcoming weekend with temperatures set to plummet further alongside our first potential snowfall of the season. It’s about time!
After enduring three consecutive La Niña winters, El Niño has taken over the globe once again intensifying in unusually rapid fashion. As of writing in mid-October, a strong El Niño is underway with impacts that will stretch globally in the months to come. We take a look at the current state of ENSO and what to expect from Mother Nature this winter across the Front Range lower elevations and Mountains.
The week ahead will usher in persistent unseasonable warmth and sunshine to Front Range Colorado. There’s a better chance of setting record high temperatures this week than there will be to see any kind of precipitation. We are watching a couple of cold fronts, but they will be the dry variety with temperatures not even dropping below normal on their backside. Upper-level ridging will continue to push in from the West Coast for the weekend keeping things pleasant and dry through at least Sunday for our area. As you might imagine, there’s no chance of snow or additional sub-freezing temperatures in the pipeline.
