After a tranquil weekend, the weather pattern turns more active again with our next shot of snowfall this evening into tomorrow morning. This is all thanks to another potent low pressure system coming out of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. How much will we get? What will the rest of the week feature? Read on to find out more details!
After near record warm conditions thus far this fall, things are finally starting to feel like winter. Yesterday saw temperatures dip into the low 20’s during the morning hours (the coldest so far). Brrr! We also had our first snow of the season last Wednesday night. Way to go Boulder! Were you awake between midnight and 3am to see a few wet flakes mixing in with the rain? Looking to the week ahead, a powerful storm system will develop just to our southeast, bringing the likelihood of snow once again to the Front Range. Read on for all the wintry details!
We couldn’t have asked for a better Halloween weekend, with partly sunny skies skies and temperatures in the upper 60’s and low 70’s. We review October’s weather, and look ahead to an unsettled weather pattern for the week ahead.

Through October 18th, Boulder is sitting nearly 10 degrees above normal for the month of October. This week will aim to change that trend, with a drastic cool down and the return of precipitation to the region.
Following a warm weekend, with highs in the mid to upper 80’s across the Plains, this week will feature slightly cooler but still above average temperatures for the middle of October. A series of cold fronts will be the main storyline, along with the subsequent effect they will have on high temperatures. Our chance of rain is next to nil and hence it will be great weather for outdoor activities all around. Read on to find out just how warm it will get!
The weather has been quite cool and gloomy across the Front Range the last few days. Saturday’s thunderstorms gave parts of Boulder County their most significant precipitation in nearly three months. The week ahead will see a continuation of the wet weather and cooler air, but 80’s could return for the weekend. Read on for all the details.
September was exceedingly dry and warm across much of eastern Colorado. Consequentially, the wildfire threat is increasing with each passing day. More than half of Boulder County is now under a complete fire ban. Will October offer up the soaking rain and mountain snow that we desperately need?
