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.

What a wonderful weekend it was across the Front Range culminating with sunshine and record high temperatures on Sunday! The warmth will continue for just a couple more days here before a midweek weather system will usher in much colder temperatures alongside the threat of rain and snow, including potential heavy snow in the Foothills. Uncertainty remains elevated for this storm overall, but change is definitely headed this way. Read on for the latest details.
It’s been over six months now, but winter weather is finally set to return to the Front Range this weekend as the coldest air of the season shows up alongside several inches of fluffy snow. An interesting weather setup will have a stalled jet streak directly over Colorado Saturday evening seeding a lengthy period of scattered heavy snow bands. Snowfall amounts, while still somewhat uncertain, have trended upward and some of us could see up to a foot of snow this weekend! Read on for our latest thoughts on the storm, including when the heaviest snow will be around, how much accumulation to expect and just how cold it will get. We also reveal the entries to our 2023 First Snowfall Contest since a winner for that will surely be crowned this weekend!

After widespread snow and unseasonably cold weather on Monday, things quiet down for the midweek period with a nice warm-up headed to the Front Range.

Read on for all the details.
This week in Colorado weather will feature favorable upslope conditions across the Mountains into at least midweek, but mostly dry conditions and seasonal temperatures for the Plains. The deep moisture will bring hefty snow totals to the High Country over the coming days, with powder measured by the foot in many areas. Little if any precipitation will occur across the Denver Metro area, though Wednesday will bring our best chance with a stronger trough of low pressure moving through. The week ends with drier zonal flow but there are some signs of a possible snow event developing for the weekend.
This week’s weather will feature a resurgence of winter across the Front Range, but in typical fashion it will be immediately preceded by a few days of spring-like conditions including potentially our first 70-degree day of 2023. The bottom is set to fall out Wednesday night with rain changing to wet snow across the region. Though there is still some uncertainty due to the lead time, accumulating snowfall looks very likely for almost everyone in the Metro area. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead.
