The weather pattern across the western United States stays exceedingly active throughout the week ahead with impacts across Colorado ranging from Mountain snow, to cooler than normal temperatures, to elevated fire danger to days of strong downslope winds. Here in the Front Range, we will catch a little bit of everything this week. Read on for all the details.
The week starts off mild and relatively quiet in the Front Range, but trends chilly and unsettled yet again by mid to late week. Mother Nature wants to keep a rather active pattern around for us to begin the month of May. There is also a possibility of some snow mixing in for the latter part of the week, but chances for this drop dramatically from a climatology perspective once May rolls around. Read on as we break down our weather for the week ahead.
A developing Four Corners low pressure system will move across southern Colorado this weekend producing a prolonged period of moist upslope flow into the Front Range. While temperatures will (fortunately) be too warm for snowfall across the lower elevations, anywhere from 1 to 4″ of rainfall is expected to dump on our area. Where temperatures are colder, the higher Foothills and Mountains could see over 2 feet of snow from this system as well. Here’s our latest thoughts on the incoming soggy rain (snow) storm!
After another round of spring snow over the weekend, the pattern will stay somewhat active across the Front Range this week, but with the warmer late April temperatures translating to only rain chances for the lower elevations. Unfortunately it looks like the gloom will stick around into the upcoming weekend as well. Let’s take a look.
After a month long hiatus, widespread accumulating snowfall will return to the Front Range late Friday as a classic jet-forced banded snowfall event unfolds across the area. While final snowfall totals will undoubtedly vary from location to location, we discuss the latest details of the springtime snowflakes knocking on our door, including when things will commence and expected travel impacts.
