These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
Mother Nature will continue to pummel the western United States with storm systems this week, including plenty of activity here in the Front Range. Monday will provide the most substantial severe weather outbreak in Colorado so far in 2024, but fortunately that will go down east of the Denver Metro area. Another system will bring a good chance of widespread rain for us Tuesday alongside chilly temperatures. The rest of the week into the weekend will stay somewhat active with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms. Read on for all the details.
Despite having a two-week-long dry stretch thrown into the mix, the month of April concluded wetter than normal for most of the Front Range. However, much of this moisture came from a soaking rainstorm (with a little snow) near the end of the month. Nonetheless, 2024 has begun as one of the all-time wettest in Boulder. We also endured an intense downslope windstorm near the beginning of April, but who could forget that? Xcel Energy customers sure wouldn’t! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during April and how it relates to climatology.
The weather pattern across the western United States stays exceedingly active throughout the week ahead with impacts across Colorado ranging from Mountain snow, to cooler than normal temperatures, to elevated fire danger to days of strong downslope winds. Here in the Front Range, we will catch a little bit of everything this week. Read on for all the details.
The week starts off mild and relatively quiet in the Front Range, but trends chilly and unsettled yet again by mid to late week. Mother Nature wants to keep a rather active pattern around for us to begin the month of May. There is also a possibility of some snow mixing in for the latter part of the week, but chances for this drop dramatically from a climatology perspective once May rolls around. Read on as we break down our weather for the week ahead.
A developing Four Corners low pressure system will move across southern Colorado this weekend producing a prolonged period of moist upslope flow into the Front Range. While temperatures will (fortunately) be too warm for snowfall across the lower elevations, anywhere from 1 to 4″ of rainfall is expected to dump on our area. Where temperatures are colder, the higher Foothills and Mountains could see over 2 feet of snow from this system as well. Here’s our latest thoughts on the incoming soggy rain (snow) storm!
After another round of spring snow over the weekend, the pattern will stay somewhat active across the Front Range this week, but with the warmer late April temperatures translating to only rain chances for the lower elevations. Unfortunately it looks like the gloom will stick around into the upcoming weekend as well. Let’s take a look.
