This week in the Front Range will be rather quiet and dry with most of the weather systems passing to our south. High temperatures will largely hover in the 40s throughout the extended — a very seasonal stretch indeed! There is some indication for a late-week snow chance but that is currently shaping up to be very minor at best. Let’s take a look…

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.
With the Great Arctic Blast of 2024 starting to wrap up across Front Range Colorado, the weather week ahead will be comparatively less eventful. However, there are multiple disturbances lined up in the coming days which will bring waves of moderate to heavy snow in the Mountains as well as a small chance of wintry precipitation to the Metro area. A thawing trend will ensue in the coming days, but temperatures won’t get back above normal until late in the weekend or early next week.
Breezy conditions and chilly temperatures will kick off the week behind a departing winter storm which brought a thin blanket of snow to the Metro area last night. Highs below freezing on Monday will trend slightly warmer in the coming days, but with gusty winds remaining. The tail-end of the week will turn more active with a few chances at light snowfall. There are also signs in the extended that an Arctic airmass will ooze into the region during the upcoming weekend turning things even colder for us. Read on for more details
El Niño has yet to deliver any major storms to the Front Range this winter season but that could change heading into the first week or two of January as a more active southern storm track takes shape across western North America. Several systems will bring snow to Colorado, though the focus appears to be across the southern tier of the state rather than the Front Range. We discuss the notably variable forecast for the week ahead including several chances for snow in the extended.
The Christmas holiday week starts off on the cold to chilly side as an area of low pressure continues to impact us from the central United States. There will be another chance of snow late tonight on Christmas into Tuesday, but only light accumulations are expected south and southeast of Denver. However, blizzard conditions are set to unfold across far eastern Colorado with travel eastward becoming impossible at times Monday night into Wednesday. A trend towards drier and warmer weather is in-store for the latter part of the week and to close out 2023. Read on for the latest details.
The work week ahead will feature veritably pleasant weather across the Front Range with warm temperatures and dry conditions persisting through Friday, including at least one day of potential record highs. However, things will take a drastic wintry turn for the upcoming weekend with accumulating snow highly likely in the days leading up the Christmas. Despite heaps of uncertainty, we also discuss the latest details for the evolving winter storm set to cause travel impacts across the broader High Plains region during the busy holiday weekend ahead.
A shortwave trough from the Pacific Northwest will track into the Desert Southwest over the next few days and be a player for our weather through much of the week ahead. A cold front moving south Monday night will bring a threat of a wintry mix of freezing drizzle, snow and rain into early Tuesday, with some slick spots possible in Boulder and Fort Collins. Afterwards, the system is forecast to remain south of us the rest of the week but could bring a slight chance of snow for the Front Range Plains Wednesday or Thursday — but that chance is slim. Otherwise, this week will be mainly dry with below normal temperatures preceding a warming trend heading into the weekend. The outlook for a “white” Christmas is also not looking so good. Read on for more details.
Most of the week ahead in the Front Range will feature dry weather with well above normal temperatures for early December. However, we are closely tracking our next storm system set to arrive on Friday with much colder temperatures returning alongside a good chance of snowflakes. Read on for the latest details on what should be yet another spirited week in Colorado weather!
