January 27, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

This week’s snow event, while certainly welcomed, is not nearly enough not help the ongoing extreme drought across the entire state of Colorado. With a dry stretch shaping up through the weekend ahead, Boulder will most likely polish off January with its 7th consecutive month of below normal precipitation. We recap the recent “snowstorm”, discuss the current state of the drought, update you on the evolving La Niña, and provide our prediction for what lies ahead the rest of winter.

The week starts out with a southern track snowstorm for the higher terrain, with only a trace to 1/2″ expected in the Denver Metro. Westerly flow ensues for the remainder of the week, with the potential for gusty winds reappearing around midweek. Outside of a brief period of Chinook warming on Wednesday, highs will remain at or slightly below average through the week ahead and into the upcoming weekend.

Mountain snow will be the main story, but we’ve also got a bora wind event in the works for the Plains and possibly some late-week snow as well. Read on for all the details.
