The week ahead will have a little bit of everything across the Front Range! Each day through midweek will offer late-day chances of spotty thunderstorms — some of which could turn severe east of Denver. Thursday will be flirting with near-record heat alongside critical fire danger. And finally, by Friday there may very well be snowflakes flying across the area as a late-season cold storm arrives. This will definitely be an interesting weather week in Colorado! Read on for all the details.

Elevated fire conditions will be in place nearly every day this week, though the most dangerous conditions will be Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with strong winds and warm/dry conditions across the Front Range. Above normal temperatures will be around throughout the week, with potential record highs shaping up for Wednesday. The week remains dry overall, although there will be some light Mountain snow at the beginning and latter part of the week — certainly not enough to please the skiers. Read on for our full weekly outlook.
Much needed precipitation is the main story for the week across Colorado! There are two systems of note that will bring beneficial rainfall and Mountain snow to the region, with the second system a little less certain than the first already ongoing on this Monday. With the precipitation chances, temperatures will largely be below seasonal normals, coolest on Monday, with even a few snowflakes possibly mixing in at times. The forecast turns drier and much warmer to close out the week. Read on for the full details.
Much-needed light rain and snow showers fell across the area on Sunday, the first precipitation many of us have seen in over two weeks. The period ahead will unfortunately not continue that trend with mostly dry conditions and above normal temperatures expected to close out the month of April. We are watching a potential storm around the Friday timeframe. Once again it looks to offer wind and elevated fire danger, but sadly little in the way of precipitation. Read on for our full outlook of the weather week ahead.
This is an important forecast discussion involving a particularly dangerous situation that will unfold on Friday with extremely explosive fire conditions all day long. We review the atmospheric ingredients leading to such a dire situation and look at just how common days like this are in our climatology (spoiler: it’s very rare).
The last month has been very dry across the Denver Metro area with the progress we’ve made this year towards eradicating the drought starting to reverse. Wind and high fire danger have been rampant of late and that isn’t going to change this week, though it won’t be nearly as bad as recent times. Temperatures will be up and down through the days ahead, but prospects for any precipitation remain woefully slim.
We’ve got a quick forecast update for you on this beautiful Friday afternoon. You probably have heard already, but it appears that snow will make a return to the Front Range next week— perhaps even in the form of a monster snowstorm if we play our cards right. Let’s take a look at this admittedly still uncertain forecast and what could potentially transpire next week across the area.
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.
