Have you heard? A major dip in the jet stream this weekend will lead to much cooler temperatures and snow for the northern Rockies. We discuss what this means for the Front Range. Our advice: enjoy the relatively warm temperatures while you can!
The first week of October will be busy as a series of systems trek through the state from the southwest. The first will be the remnants of Hurricane Rosa. The second will be a quick-moving cut-off system. These will lead to the chance of showers and a few thundershowers through the week. We’re also tracking unsettled weather for the weekend with both rain and snow for the state of Colorado.

We warned you on Monday about the potential for the weather to turn gloomier just in time for the weekend. While that forecast is indeed going to materialize, the track of the cut-off storm system has trended further west through the week. This means it won’t be quite as cold or soggy as initially expected across Colorado. Nonetheless, the unseasonably warm and dry pattern we’ve experienced for the last week is now over. Cooler weather and chances for rain are here to stay.
Thanks to those of you whom participated in our Spring Snow Contest. The goal of the competition was to predict the amount of snow that would accumulate in Boulder for February, March and April 2018 in relation to climatological normal. In this post, we review the entries and announce the winners!
A large-scale pattern shift will continue to facilitate warm and dry weather for the Front Range through much of the week. Things get messy just in time for the weekend, however. We’re tracking a storm that will bring much colder temperatures, lots of rain, and higher elevation snow.
