The most significant Arctic outbreak for the Front Range since 2022 is brewing! The initial cold front will blast through Friday early evening ushering in sub-zero wind chills which will persist all the way into at least Tuesday morning. While the extreme cold is all but certain at this point, the snowfall potential is a bit trickier of a forecast as there will be three separate chances for snow mixed into the polar plunge. However, the Mountains will be getting absolutely showered in powder. Let’s take a look at bitter cold and snowy forecast heading into the MLK holiday weekend.

We are finally starting to see better agreement in the various weather models, but things are still far from certain.

Winter Weather Update: Snowflakes return to the Front Range on Wednesday, but the bullseye is on the Foothills

November 7, 2023 / BoulderCAST Team

A wintry storm system will impact Colorado Wednesday morning into Thursday morning, but it’s not bringing much cold air to the party! This will lead to only minor impacts across the Denver Metro area as a mix of rain and snow is expected for most of the event, with a trend towards all snow at the tail-end as precipitation will be wrapping up. Greater travel impacts are expected in the Foothills where temperatures will be colder and up to 8 inches of snow may accumulate. We discuss the timing of the rain and snow, the expected snowfall totals for everyone and when travel may be most impacted.
