Snow has quickly developed this morning across southern portions of the Denver Metro area, while things remain mostly dry throughout Boulder County under the protection of downslope flow. We take a look at current conditions across the region, the expected blustery wind speeds for today, and how much snow will fall throughout the morning.
Light snow fell once again across the entire Front Range Monday night into Tuesday, with most locations picking up 2 to 5 inches of fluffy accumulation, a tad less than forecast in some spots. We briefly review both the snow totals from this single storm and the seasonal ones.
Light but fluffy snow is falling across the entire Front Range this morning. In today’s update, we take a look at current travel conditions around the area, how much snow has already fallen and what is still to come based on the latest model data. Plus a look at just how cold it will get for the night ahead with clearing skies and fresh snow on the ground.
This week will feel a lot more like winter than any recent weeks in the Front Range, with several rounds of snow and cold temperatures sticking around throughout the extended. In this week’s outlook, we focus mainly on the widespread dump of fluffy snow knocking on the door for Monday evening into Tuesday, but we also touch on the lingering wintry weather set to unfold the rest of the week, including our coldest temperatures of the season so far and additional rounds of light snow possibly queueing up. Read on for all the details.
Shallow cold air has surged back into the Front Range overnight, causing temperatures to tumble and dense freezing fog to form. While the higher elevations enjoy sunshine and milder temperatures Saturday, the Plains remain in the 20s. An incoming storm system will bring light snowfall and reinforce the cold air Saturday evening, with the best chances of accumulating snow east of DIA and towards Kansas and Nebraska. We discuss just how cold it will be this weekend, the timing of the snow, and how much to expect. We also look ahead to our next and better chance of snow coming early in the upcoming week.
Northwest flow aloft will keep the start of 2025 cool and largely dry for the lower elevations. However, ridging aloft will allow for milder temperatures by the latter part of the week. The High Country will cash in on more snow Thursday and Saturday, perfect for skiers looking to start the New Year right. We also recap the brief high wind event that occurred on Monday.
Westerly winds will quickly ramp up Monday morning with widespread gusts of 40 to 60 MPH expected across much of eastern Colorado today. While the latest model runs have indeed weakened the forecasted winds somewhat, fire danger will definitely be elevated through the day. We review the latest model data and provide an update on how the high winds, Mountain snow, and fire risk will unfold on Monday.
NOTE: Due to the ongoing weather event, our usual weekly outlook forecast will be posted on Tuesday this week. Check back then for a broader outlook of the next five days.
