If you recall, Mother Nature threw a greasy wrench into our usual “First Snow” contest this year, delivering the earliest ever snowfall in Boulder’s history before we even announced the annual contest! But the show must go on, and this year predictions surrounded the date and amount of Boulder’s second snowfall of the season. With that having now come and gone this week, it’s time to announce the winners of the contest!
As the two largest wildfires in state history were burning across north-central Colorado this weekend, Mother Nature delivered big changes via an Arctic airmass and widespread snowfall. We take a look back at what was a mostly jet-driven snowfall event across the Front Range, go over the snowfall totals, the potential impact on the fire zones, and look ahead to warmer times.
What an absolutely incredible week of weather we experienced across the Front Range. From sizzling record heat, to explosive wildfire growth with towering pyrocumulus clouds blocking out the sun and ash raining from the sky, to unprecedented early season snowfall, to eventual record cold. This week had it ALL! Let’s step through this crazy week in weather and look at just how many long-standing records we broke over the last several days.
August 2020 in Colorado was headlined by brutal heat, expanding drought, new massive wildfires, thick smoke, and poor air quality. Here’s a quick and colorful recap of our weather during August and how it relates to climatology.
Hooray! Monsoon season has just begun and the beneficial rains are already on the way to Colorado! We take a look at the current monsoonal pattern, the cool and wet forecast for the next five days, and why we think the rainy pattern won’t last long.
Were you caught off-guard by the historic wind storm that swept across Colorado on Saturday? This type of widespread, damaging wind event is known as a derecho. What transpired on Saturday was the first in recorded history to impact Boulder and Denver. We take a look at the low pressure that caused the event, the astonishing wind reports from across the area, and discuss why this may have been the first and last derecho we ever experience.
The week ahead is one typical for the last week of May. We have some warmer days, some cooler ones and chances for rain throughout the forecast. Let’s take a look!
