Winter Weather Update: Heavy snow continues in the Mountains, with mainly spotty rain showers expected across the lowlands

December 24, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

We provide a quick update on the ongoing atmospheric river event which will pile up feet of snow in Colorado’s mountains by Christmas morning. With mild temperatures holding across the lower elevations and a few rare December raindrops falling from the sky, it looks like a white Christmas will elude us once again.

An atmospheric river event will bury the Mountains in holiday snow! There’s also a non-zero chance of snow in Boulder

We review the climatology of White Christmas conditions in Boulder, including a discussion on why Christmas Day has the second highest occurrence of snow on ground out of the entire year. We also discuss the upcoming pattern shift which will favor widespread snowfall in the Mountains and maybe a little white stuff in Boulder, too.

Temperatures will remain well above average throughout the week as the Front Range remains under favorable downslope warming. Gusty winds may be possible at times given this setup but overall a pleasant week lies ahead. Heavy mountain snow is expected by the end of the week with a strong and moisture-rich storm system. Read on to find out if there are any snow chances in the works for the lower elevations as well.

The week starts out with a southern track snowstorm for the higher terrain, with only a trace to 1/2″ expected in the Denver Metro. Westerly flow ensues for the remainder of the week, with the potential for gusty winds reappearing around midweek. Outside of a brief period of Chinook warming on Wednesday, highs will remain at or slightly below average through the week ahead and into the upcoming weekend.

November will commence with very warm and dry conditions across the Front Range as high pressure dominates our weather for yet another week. Afternoon temperatures each day will approach (but likely not exceed) record values. Changes begin to take shape Friday into the upcoming weekend as a strong and cold storm system drops out of western Canada. Initially this will lead to strong winds and high fire danger for Colorado, but snow may be in the works as well.

The wait is over…PowderCAST is back!

There may not be much white stuff in the High Country yet, at least the real stuff, but we are picking up a little bit of snow headed to Colorado’s mountains this weekend! This is great news, as many local ski resorts will be opening up in the coming weeks, with or without Mother Nature’s cooperation. If you aren’t aware, we offer a suite of ski forecast products powered by machine learning called PowderCAST. Read on to learn more and get a jump start on the first “POW day” of the season, whenever that may be!

A continued flow of weak weather systems into Colorado this week will lead to a duet of light snow chances and unseasonably cold temperatures through mid-week. However, things take a much warmer turn heading into the weekend.

Update (Mon 2/17/20 3:00 PM): Added our official snowfall forecast map for light snow falling Monday evening and night.
