Despite a generally troughy pattern remaining across the western United States this week, things in Colorado will be relatively quiet. Snow chances will be next to zero for the lower elevations, with only one brief period of light snow expected in the Mountains. Temperatures will also be much warmer this week compared to last.
Don’t let the sunny skies Friday morning fool you. Similar to the snowfall event on President’s Day, atmospheric components will briefly align this evening for banded snowfall to once again form across the Front Range. The Northwest Metro area appears to be favored again by the models, including Boulder, Louisville, Longmont, and Broomfield.
Just as forecast, the overhead jet stream delivered heavy banded snowfall to the Boulder area Monday evening. We review the evolution of the storm and discuss the snow totals from across the region.
In the wake of last night’s snow, we start out the shortened work week on the nippy side with an Arctic airmass entrenched across the Front Range. Temperatures may not get above freezing until Friday. We are also watching three (yes three!) more chances for snow this week, especially on Friday, with the approach of another potent trough.

Our forecast for the holiday weekend covers two separate wind storms, very warm weather across the Plains, and President’s Day snowfall.
