Have you noticed the drop in visibility across the Front Range over the last few days? This haziness is actually smoke from the 11,000+ acre Tinder Fire currently burning in central Arizona. This may only be a foreshadow of things to come later this summer as parts of southwestern Colorado and the Four Corners region have recently shifted into the most severe drought classification. We provide an update on the situation and take a look at snowpack statewide.

This winter has slowly become the “Winter of Freezing Drizzle” for the Front Range. Many of you have reached out to us wondering why there has been so many occurrences this year in particular. In short, the finger can be pointed at La Niña. However, the true answer is a little more complex.
The GOES-16 weather satellite launched on November 19, 2016 and began collecting revolutionary data with a higher temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution than ever before. From the raging wildfires in Montana, to a close-up on the eye of Hurricane Maria, GOES-16 has captured truly awe-inspiring results in 2017. What do you think?

Earth. It’s really cool, but it’s warming up faster now than it may have ever warmed before. Unless the buzz from last week’s East Coast blizzard has turned you into a climate change denier, you are likely already on-board with this sentiment. With 2017 now behind us, we take a look back at temperatures throughout the year for the globe, Colorado, and Boulder.
We discuss the forecast for snow on Thursday and how the weather pattern is shaping up heading into the holiday season.
The month of November wrapped up as the second warmest on record in Boulder. During the month, we had ten 70+ degree days, but only one with a high temperature below 40 degrees. The remarkable warmth of late will NOT continue for the week ahead, unfortunately. Continue reading as we detail the forecast for the next seven days.
The high temperature today in Boulder was more than 20 degrees above average. We review where this falls historically and discuss the weather for the upcoming weekend, including the potential for snow in the extended forecast.
