As we rapidly approach the holiday season, the Front Range continues to experience unseasonably warm and dry conditions. This past weekend brought beautiful weather with temperatures warming into the 50s, accompanied by strong downslope winds at times. Looking ahead, the forecast remains mostly quiet with high pressure dominating the central Rockies, including Colorado. While a few bouts of wind are expected this week, precipitation will be nearly non-existent over the next seven to ten days, making a white Christmas highly unlikely for the Denver-Boulder area.

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.
The primary weather impacts to the Front Range this week will occur on Monday. However, those impacts will be fairly limited, with the most noticeable change being much colder temperatures in the 30s for highs. The chilly weather continues into Tuesday, but milder readings will return by midweek. We are watching a late-week storm system but it currently looks to track through the area mostly dry. Read on for more details
As we step into the first week of meteorological winter, the Front Range will feel like anything but. This week will feature pleasant weather thanks to a persistent and strong ridge along the West Coast. While the primary storm track remains off to the east, Colorado will enjoy above normal temperatures and dry conditions, day in and day out. Read on for all the details.
As we enter Thanksgiving week, Colorado is bracing for a significant weather event fueled by a strong atmospheric river flowing in from the west. A potent storm system is set to sweep through the region Tuesday into Wednesday, delivering widespread heavy snowfall to the Mountains with significant disruption to travel expected. Meanwhile, the Boulder-Denver Metro area faces a more uncertain forecast with varying snowfall predictions due to warm initial temperatures and questionable upslope. Despite the midweek forecast challenges, we can all at least look forward to a definitively quiet but chilly Thanksgiving Day. Read on for a complete outlook of the weather week ahead.
This week’s weather will be a mixbag across Colorado, with a little bit of Mountain snow, bouts of gusty winds, and one or two sizable temperature swings for the lower elevations. With the exception of a cold and windy Tuesday, the week ahead will be pretty nice for us overall. Looking ahead, a juicy atmospheric river may reach Colorado during the upcoming weekend with substantial Mountain snow in the works. Read on for all the details.
Front Range weather will be quiet for the most part this week — a welcomed change considering how crazy things were around here recently. Temperatures will stayed near to slightly above normal in the days ahead. The only chance of precipitation will be on Tuesday alongside a shortwave trough and a cold front. However, this system will mostly hit the Mountains. We are also watching a potential late-weekend system into early next week that could bring a return chance for snow for the area. Read on for more details.
The first two storm systems of the season capable of producing snow across the lower elevations mostly missed the mark, with only a small portion of the Denver Metro area reporting snow so far this season. Neither Boulder or Denver have officially received any snowfall since April. That will definitely change this week, perhaps as early as Sunday night as a light round of rain changing to snow is expected. Furthermore, a complicated, unsettled weather pattern will unfold the rest of the week in Colorado keeping our temperatures well below normal with almost daily chances for more rain and snow. We’re fairly confident everyone will see additional light accumulating snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, with a potential for a more impactful storm late in the week into the weekend, including possible blizzard conditions. We truly have a lot to cover in this week’s outlook, so let’s dive in!
Front Range weather will be tame to start the week with above normal temperatures for our Monday but under extensive wave clouds. However, all eyes are on a developing storm system moving onshore Monday night in California. As the system tracks across the Four Corners and into our area, it will bring the Mountain snowfall, as well as the chance of rain ending as wet snow late Tuesday night into early Wednesday in the Denver Metro area. While the midweek storm will offer a decent chance at our first flakes of the season, amounts are expected to be rather light. We break it all down for you, including the probabilities and our preliminary snowfall map. The first hard freeze of the season is also taking shape for Wednesday night.
