The week ahead will remain largely dry across the Front Range thanks to the slow passage of a strong ridge of high pressure aloft. Gusty downslope winds on Monday will relax and transition into a mid-week heatwave with record highs up for grabs across multiple days. However, unsettled weather is brewing for the upcoming weekend with decent rain chances for the lower elevations and a few snowflakes for the higher Foothills. Read on for all the details.

These weekly forecast posts are published EVERY Monday morning and provide a general overview of the atmosphere and the weather conditions for the week ahead in Front Range Colorado. We give you a heads-up on the major short-term weather features and anything looming down the road.
Colorado’s weather this week promises to be a mixbag, kicking off with near-record warmth and high fire danger on Monday, followed by a dramatic cool-down with a chance of rain and snow heading into midweek. As we officially transition into the spring season, be prepared for gusty winds, fluctuating temperatures, but only minor precipitation—with an active yet relatively dry forecast for the Denver-Boulder area this week. Read on for all the details.
As we head into the second week of March, Mother Nature will offer up a wide range of weather in the Front Range, including elevated fire danger, unseasonably warm temperatures, and an impressively strong spring storm system by Friday. The late-week storm will usher in Mountain snow and widespread strong winds to the state. Depending on how things evolve, blizzard conditions and blowing dust may be an issue east of Denver, but things aren’t looking too bad in our immediate area. Read on for all the details.
The month of March starts off like a lion in the Front Range with a few shots of snowfall headed our way. The first event will bring rain changing to snow Monday night accompanied by gusty winds and chilly temperatures. Travel will become very difficult across much of eastern and central Colorado Monday night into Tuesday with blizzard conditions in some areas, but Boulder and Denver will be mostly spared from this event. We’re also tracking another late-week system which could bring light snow to the area again. As for temperatures, they will oscillate up and down through the week with the passage of each system. Read on for the latest forecast details, including our snowfall forecast map for the impressive winter storm knocking on our door early this week.
The last two weeks have been considerably colder than normal across the Front Range (thanks Flatiron Freddy!), but that changes this week as the atmospheric pendulum swings the other direction ushering in a welcomed pattern shift across all of Colorado. The week ahead will be largely dry in our area with temperatures well above normal every day except Wednesday. The beautiful conditions will continue through the upcoming weekend, but the first week of March will see a return of cooler and unsettled weather with rain and snow chances in tow.
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.
Following a bitter cold and snowy January in the Front Range, the month of February so far has brought with it milder conditions. Last week we had our first 60-degree day in Boulder since just before Christmas, and even our first 70-degree day since late October. The warmer weather has been a welcomed reprieve, though it has rightfully confused some flowering plants across the area with early blooms. This warm weather was never going to last though — we’ve still got plenty of winter to go and this week will get us right back on-track with a two-part blast of Arctic air and snow headed for the Front Range. Read on for the latest details on the snowfall timing, amounts, and expected temperatures.
While Punxsutawney Phil and Flatiron Freddy both saw their shadows Sunday morning solidifying their predictions for six more weeks of winter, we’ll start off February with wildly above normal temperatures in the 60s to lower 70s here in the Front Range. However, we are watching an Arctic cold front that will peskily waver back and forth across northeast Colorado as the week progresses leading to fluctuating temperatures and plenty of uncertainty. The brunt of the cold air, though, likely will not plunge into our area until sometime next week alongside increasing chances for snowflakes.
