The final day of what has been a snowy January will be quiet across the Front Range, but that all changes for the start of February as a significant winter storm takes aim on the region. Upslope favored areas like Boulder could very well see close to a foot of snow this week while parts of Denver will see much less. Some of the coldest air of the season will be moving in as well. We give our current thoughts on the incoming storm and our preliminary snowfall expectations. Quiet weather returns late in the week and for the upcoming weekend.

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 week begins quiet on Monday, but things turn notably snowy and much colder by Tuesday. We’re tracking a winter storm that will bring accumulating snow to all of eastern Colorado Tuesday morning into the afternoon hours with a dicey morning commute all but guaranteed. We discuss the timing of the storm and expected snowfall amounts across the region. Further out, another round of snow could accompany a weak system on Thursday, but that is still evolving. Read on for all the details.
Premium Storm Update (1/25/22 6:00AM): We do a final check of the latest model runs and how they compare to what is actively occurring across northeast Colorado early Tuesday morning. We give our final thoughts on the storm and discuss the next chance of light snow waiting in the wings for Thursday. READ HERE
The week starts out above average with 60-degree temperatures possible over the Denver Metro area on Monday. That all comes to a halt late Tuesday as two strong cold fronts move into the region ushering in a colder and more unsettled weather pattern for mid to late-week. At the moment, we are tracking two wintry systems. Read on to find out more.
An unsettled weather pattern the last few weeks has brought heavy snow to the Mountains and a couple of decent snow events to the Denver Metro area as well. We’re now starting to get back on-track for snow. However, the week ahead will be mild and sunny for the most part, but we are watching a system set to move in on Friday for cooler temperatures and a chance of light snow.
Happy New Year! After a welcomed snowstorm to end 2021, 2022 starts out somewhat quiet with temperatures close to seasonal normals. That, however, changes abruptly come Tuesday with another windy day followed by unsettled, cold, and wintry conditions beginning midweek. Our next snow event is taking shape for Wednesday evening into Thursday favoring potential banded snowfall, though it may end up too far north. We discuss all of this, as well as when we might expect to see warmer weather return.
Our state has benefited greatly from the recent atmospheric river event with snowpack thankfully getting back close to normal for now. However, things remain dreadfully dry east of the Continental Divide. The week ahead will offer generally cooler than normal temperatures across the Denver area with continued Mountain snowfall really piling up. We are also tracking a potential Arctic outbreak and some snow just in time to ring in the New Year. Here’s the latest.
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.
Well, Denver’s snowless streak finally came to an end as a dusting of frozen precipitation was reported at Denver International Airport this past Friday morning. Unfortunately, the week ahead will not continue the trend with a largely dry week expected. We are closely watching a quick-moving storm set to race across the area on Wednesday which could bring white-out conditions to the Mountains and very strong winds to the Denver Metro area. The meager chance of rain/snow with this mid-week system will offer little reprieve for the extreme drought which now encompasses the entire area.
