A strong low pressure system passing to our north will wrap in a potent jet stream to northern Colorado in the coming days. This will result in a period of Mountain snow, but to the east several days of strong downslope winds and high fire danger for the lower elevations. Read on for all the details of the weather week ahead.

We start the week with near-record warmth with some locations reaching the lower 80s on Monday. That warmth vacates quickly come Tuesday with a strong storm system and associated cold front moving through. Rain and some thunder will change to wet snow Tuesday night. Another system approaches late in the week but its rain/snow potential looks much lower than the former storm. Read on for all the details of the weather week ahead.

Record-setting warmth for the last weekend of March, but rain/snow to follow early next week

Absolutely gorgeous weather is taking shape for the weekend ahead with temperatures forecast to soar towards to the 80-degree mark in the Denver area. A few of these days could be record-setting for the region! As always, the warmth does have a planned expiration date as the next spring storm system will arrive around Tuesday with rain, snow and colder temperatures in tow.

A strong cut-off low pressure system will slowly pass by south of Colorado early in the week leading to below normal temperatures, gusty winds and at times light snow for the area. Little to no accumulation is expected across the lower elevations though. Things turn sunny and warmer Wednesday and beyond, with the upcoming weekend looking particularly stunning. Read on for our complete outlook of the week ahead.

The anticipated strong storm on Monday will be a swing and a miss for the Denver area (Updated)

March 19, 2022 / Ben Castellani

For several days now we have anxiously been looking forward to a big cut-off pressure system forecasted to impact the southern Rockies on Monday. While we’re confident that heavy snow will indeed dump on eastern Colorado, we unfortunately don’t believe that will be across the Front Range. Let’s take a look at the evolving forecast and why this storm will most likely be a swing and a miss for the Denver area.

Winter Storm Warning issued for Boulder, but the snow forecast remains ever so complex

March 16, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

Nothing is ever easy in Front Range weather! The incoming spring, or shall we say winter, storm remains a very challenging forecast as models struggle to resolve where the heaviest precipitation will fall Wednesday into Thursday, the precise timing on when rain will change to snow, and exactly where temperatures will bottom out at overnight. All of these factors are coming together to make for a complicated blend of moderate to heavy rain and soupy snow this evening into Thursday. Most models would have us believe a deluge of precipitation is about to unleash on the Denver area, but there are some red flags. We discuss the latest on this evolving storm which is sure to create quite the mess for everyone over the next 36 hours.

Winter Weather Update: A sloppy spring storm will have rain changing to snow Wednesday night

March 15, 2022 / Ben Castellani

Another Wednesday, another winter storm is going to hit the Front Range! A Pacific trough will impact the area Wednesday into Thursday bringing a return of the white stuff to the Boulder-Denver Metro. Unlike the last handful of snowstorms, this one will have just enough cold air to turn rain over to snow across the entire area. Snowfall amounts remain somewhat uncertain, but most of us should expect at least a couple inches of slushy snow by midday Thursday, with much more in the higher terrain. Let’s take a look at our first “warm” winter storm of the season!
