We’ve got a few more mild days ahead to end the work week, but as promised, winter will return for the holiday weekend in what is shaping up to be a challenging forecast indeed. We are finally starting to see better agreement in the various weather models, but things are still far from certain. Our weather will begin to trend downhill on Saturday with cooler temperatures and a chance of rain showers. Saturday night rain will change to snow with snow accumulation likely for all heading into Christmas Eve. Exact snowfall amounts and the timing of everything are still being worked out, but here’s our latest thoughts on the approaching holiday winter storm.

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!

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.

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!
