As the two largest wildfires in state history were burning across north-central Colorado this weekend, Mother Nature delivered big changes via an Arctic airmass and widespread snowfall. We take a look back at what was a mostly jet-driven snowfall event across the Front Range, go over the snowfall totals, the potential impact on the fire zones, and look ahead to warmer times.

After Sunday’s jet-forced snowstorm and shot of Arctic air, the atmosphere takes a “break” this week. We begin with record cold temperatures, but a pleasant warming trend will carry us through the week. Outside of a few clouds, we’re not expecting any additional precipitation through the upcoming weekend. Continue reading
Significant weather changes are headed to the area over the next 12 to 48 hours with our second winter storm of the season taking aim on the Front Range. That’s right…don’t forget we had snow seven long weeks ago! This system will pack record-setting cold for late-October as well as widespread fluffy snowfall and embedded heavy snow bands compliments of the overhead jet stream. In this winter storm update, we discuss when the snow will arrive, how much accumulation to expect, and just how cold it will get to shatter existing records.
How uncommon is an October snowstorm of this magnitude during La Niña ? How much snow are we expecting for our area? Will the bitter cold temperatures actually end up hurting the snow potential? Listen to find out!
Winter weather is right around the corner for northern Colorado with two storm systems set to impact the area in the coming days. The first will produce freezing drizzle and light snow Thursday night, while the second will usher in bitter cold temperatures and accumulating snow for Sunday and Monday. We discuss both storms and give our initial thoughts on potential snowfall accumulations for the weekend.
After an eventful weekend with two new wildfires igniting in Boulder County, the weather will become slightly less favorable for fire growth through the week in the higher terrain. Across the Plains, it will be mainly dry this week, but there are changes queuing up for the late-week period into the weekend including the potential for our first snowfall since early September!
Despite the progressive cold front on Sunday which brought strong winds, dangerous fire conditions, Mountain snow, and even a dust storm to some portions of the eastern Plains, we will see a nice rebound in our temperatures immediately to start the week. However, a stronger cold front will arrive later in the week leading to chilly temperatures . It is looking like another dry week as well, with any precipitation chances holding off until sometime next week.
