After weeks of unseasonable warmth and bone‑dry skies, the Front Range is finally staring down a pattern shift this week. But will it deliver the moisture we’ve been waiting for—or just more wind and disappointment? In this update, we break down some stats from our parched autumn so far, and take a look at several storm systems moving through Colorado this week, one of which will offer an excellent chance of rain (and maybe some snow) in the Boulder-Denver area.

Forecasts focused on the many ski resorts of NE Colorado.
The well-advertised dip in the jet stream set to bomb out across eastern Colorado is still very much on-track to end the work week. The forecast for this springtime beast has remained largely unchanged since our last forecast update on Monday when we detailed that this monster storm would primarily be a wind-maker for us. We discuss which parts of Colorado will see the strongest winds, where the limited rain and snow will fall, and the ensuing mess this storm will cause as it races across the nation in the days ahead. Read on for the latest details.
Two different low pressure systems will impact Colorado to end the work week, but unfortunately they will both largely miss the Front Range — one too far north and the other too far south. The Boulder-Denver area will still catch some light precipitation and colder temperatures, but potential snow accumulations are expected to be light and remain mostly west of Interstate 25 and in the Foothills. Things clear out nicely just in time for the weekend, with sunny skies and 70-degree temperatures not far off. Here’s the latest.
We hope you didn’t put your cold weather gear away for the season yet — another Arctic Blast will ooze into eastern Colorado this week! A strong Arctic high will entrench the region in bitter cold air through midweek, with highs during this period well below normal in the teens and 20s with lows in the single digits or slightly below zero. A few weather systems moving through in the westerly flow aloft will bring several chances for snow to the area, but for the most part accumulations will remain relatively light east of the Mountains. Temperatures will moderate by the end of the week and especially the weekend as ridging builds in from the west and the dense Arctic air retreats eastward with surprisingly warm weather not too far off on the horizon.

The first major Arctic blast of the season is set to arrive Friday afternoon, bringing a dramatic drop in temperatures and widespread snowfall to Boulder and the Front Range. Expect temperatures to plummet from the 60s on Thursday to the single digits by Saturday morning, with several inches of fluffy snow blanketing the area. The bitter cold will linger through Tuesday, with temperatures below freezing for nearly 100 hours and below 15°F for around 72 hours. Read on for the latest details on what will definitely be a frigid and snowy MLK Day weekend across most of Colorado!
As we rapidly approach the holiday season, the Front Range continues to experience unseasonably warm and dry conditions. This past weekend brought beautiful weather with temperatures warming into the 50s, accompanied by strong downslope winds at times. Looking ahead, the forecast remains mostly quiet with high pressure dominating the central Rockies, including Colorado. While a few bouts of wind are expected this week, precipitation will be nearly non-existent over the next seven to ten days, making a white Christmas highly unlikely for the Denver-Boulder area.
Get ready, Colorado! A major winter storm is on the horizon, promising to blanket the Mountains with up to 30 inches of snow and transform ski resorts into powder paradises. But that’s not all—rain will turn to snow in the Denver Metro area Tuesday night, potentially disrupting the Wednesday morning commute. Curious about the full forecast and how it might impact your Thanksgiving plans? Read on as we discuss the timing of the change-over to snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
