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.

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.
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.
2025 has been exceptionally cold and snowy in the Front Range so far, but is that finally about to change? This week we can expect several tranquil sunny days to begin but we are watching the threat for more snow as a low-pressure system approaches from California by Thursday.
The week starts off with light snow and bitter cold Arctic air entrenched across the Front Range, but it won’t last long as the frigid airmass exits to our east quickly on Tuesday. While the rest of the week won’t exactly be warm, there will be a general upward trend in our temperatures back into the realm of normalcy. Our next chance of snow in the pipeline could arrive during the upcoming weekend. Read on for more details.
This week will feature a mixture of calm and chaos in Front Range Colorado! While the early part of the week will be relatively quiet with cool temperatures, a significant change in our weather is brewing for Friday. An Arctic blast is set to slam eastern Colorado during the late-day period, ushering in the coldest air of the season this weekend alongside widespread snowfall. Enjoy the sunshine and mild conditions the next several days, but begin preparations for the deep freeze and snowy conditions ahead!
This week will feel a lot more like winter than any recent weeks in the Front Range, with several rounds of snow and cold temperatures sticking around throughout the extended. In this week’s outlook, we focus mainly on the widespread dump of fluffy snow knocking on the door for Monday evening into Tuesday, but we also touch on the lingering wintry weather set to unfold the rest of the week, including our coldest temperatures of the season so far and additional rounds of light snow possibly queueing up. Read on for all the details.
Northwest flow aloft will keep the start of 2025 cool and largely dry for the lower elevations. However, ridging aloft will allow for milder temperatures by the latter part of the week. The High Country will cash in on more snow Thursday and Saturday, perfect for skiers looking to start the New Year right. We also recap the brief high wind event that occurred on Monday.
