The week starts out above average with 60-degree temperatures possible over the Denver Metro area on Monday. That all comes to a halt late Tuesday as two strong cold fronts move into the region ushering in a colder and more unsettled weather pattern for mid to late-week. At the moment, we are tracking two wintry systems. Read on to find out more.

Our weather will shift sharply colder for Friday as two systems merge across eastern Colorado bringing a chance of rain and snow to the area. Upslope will be marginal and favor areas south and west of Denver, mainly in the Foothills. However, there is still some hope for light accumulations in Boulder and Denver, too. Let’s take a look at the timing of things, the potential impacts, and our regional snowfall forecast map.

More snow is on the way to the Front Range for midweek, but it comes with strong winds beforehand. An Arctic front will slam the area on Wednesday bringing a rapid drop in temperatures alongside some moderate to heavy bands of snow across the entire area. We discuss how strong the winds will be, when the frigid airmass and snow will arrive, and how much snow will pile up.

Our state has benefited greatly from the recent atmospheric river event with snowpack thankfully getting back close to normal for now. However, things remain dreadfully dry east of the Continental Divide. The week ahead will offer generally cooler than normal temperatures across the Denver area with continued Mountain snowfall really piling up. We are also tracking a potential Arctic outbreak and some snow just in time to ring in the New Year. Here’s the latest.

We provide a quick update on the ongoing atmospheric river event which will pile up feet of snow in Colorado’s mountains by Christmas morning. With mild temperatures holding across the lower elevations and a few rare December raindrops falling from the sky, it looks like a white Christmas will elude us once again.
