The week starts out on the cold side with light accumulating snow Monday into Monday night. We discuss the timing, amounts, and provide our snowfall forecast map.

November will commence with very warm and dry conditions across the Front Range as high pressure dominates our weather for yet another week. Afternoon temperatures each day will approach (but likely not exceed) record values. Changes begin to take shape Friday into the upcoming weekend as a strong and cold storm system drops out of western Canada. Initially this will lead to strong winds and high fire danger for Colorado, but snow may be in the works as well.

As a result, we’ll largely see a continuation of dry and unseasonably warm weather across the Front Range as many days flirt with record high temperatures.

This week’s weather will be a delicate balance between below and above normal temperatures as the Front Range remains situated between a ridge of high pressure over the West Coast and a persistent trough in the Midwest.

For the second week in a row, rather quiet and warm late-summer (and dare we say…early fall) conditions with exist across the Front Range. We’ve only got one slight chance of rain to talk about. Otherwise, we’ll see drought conditions worsen and wildfire smoke linger across the area.

With the exception of a weak cool front around midweek, it’s all about a high pressure ridge that will keep us warmer than average and dry with virtually no clouds until the weekend. We are also keeping an eye on the wildfire smoke over the Pacific Northwest and discuss when it may return.
