These posts take a look back at recent weather events, like snow storms or severe weather outbreaks, and evaluate how the forecast played out. We evaluate how well the models predicted what actually occurred, and offer insight into what can be learned and applied moving forward.
This week will end with a bang! A potent Pacific storm system will blast through the Front Range during the day Friday bringing possible damaging winds, a slight chance of rain/snow, and fresh powder to the High Country.
After a cold start to our week to end the month of December, the weather turns milder as we ring in the New Year. Don’t get too cozy…a return to winter-like temperatures will ensue during the latter part of the week. We also discuss the little bit of snow over the weekend which produced just enough to bump 2019 into Boulder’s top 5 snowiest calendar years.
Yikes! A surprisingly high amount of uncertainty remains regarding the incoming winter storm making for a difficult forecast heading into Saturday. We provide a quick update, including our team’s thoughts on the most recent model runs and if any tweaks are needed to our prior snowfall forecast (spoiler alert: they are!).
PREMIUM STORM UPDATE (7:00 AM Sat 12/28/19): We do a quick check on how the forecast looks early Saturday as moderate snow falls across the Front Range. We talk forecast amounts, waning snowfall intensity, and gusty winds expected later today. Click HERE to read.
After a rather quiet month of December, our first “major” snow event in four weeks is taking shape for late Friday night into early Saturday. The bulk of the snow will bypass the Denver area, but we’re still looking at some accumulation. Read on for details on the falling temperatures, when the snowfall will begin and end, and how much white stuff to expect.
FORECAST UPDATE (Friday Dec 27 3:00 PM): Models are still having trouble with this storm, and so are we. Read our latest forecast and get our latest snowfall forecast map.
This week’s snowstorm was definitely one to remember! We review the BIG snow totals and take a look at how the ingredients came together perfectly to produce the biggest and most widespread dumping of snow for our area in nearly four years.
Several waves of light snow and a dash of freezing drizzle impacted the Denver Metro area over the last 36 hours resulting from a slow-moving storm system to the southwest. We take a look at snow totals, the beautiful weekend ahead, and the strong possibility of another cold air outbreak headed our way early next week.
UPDATE (Friday Nov 22 at 12PM): Added discussion of official snow totals and map.
One thing is for sure, a prolonged period of cold and unsettled weather will take hold of the Front Range Wednesday morning into Friday. A mash-up of rain, snow, and freezing drizzle will intermittently impact the area during this timeframe. Overall precipitation rates will be light, but the long duration could lead to light snow accumulations by Friday morning. In this update, we talk tumbling temperatures, rain/snow/ice timing, and potential snow accumulations.
*PREMIUM* STORM UPDATE (7:00 AM Thu 11/21): Don’t be fooled by the lull in the action… There is still more light snow to come! READ HERE
