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!

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.
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.
This week’s weather in the Front Range will see a shift from the recent unseasonably warm temperatures to cooler conditions, with periodic light snow expected in the Mountains throughout the week. While a white Christmas is unlikely for the Denver Metro area, there will be a slight chance of rain or snow showers Wednesday evening and night. The late-week period will remain active with several disturbances bringing more light snow to the Mountains, but the lower elevations around Boulder and Denver will stay mostly dry with mild temperatures. We also look ahead to next week when we’ll likely see a longer-term transition to much colder and snowier weather for the New Year.
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.
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.

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.
