It now appears we may be headed into our second consecutive La Niña winter. We discuss the forecast, remind you what La Niña actually is, and explain potential impacts on Colorado for this winter.
The storm track has officially returned southward to Colorado! The first full-week of October will feature a swing in temperatures, starting off on the cold and wet side for your Monday. Meanwhile, the first dumping of snow in the Mountains and Foothills started yesterday and continues today. Read on for our complete outlook.
It truly felt like summer came to a close as Fall officially began last Friday. What a great reprieve these last few days have been! The large trough which began to influence our region last Friday will continue to be our main focus for much of the week ahead with below normal temperatures and unsettled weather prevailing across Colorado.
We’ve really been spoiled of late in regards to weather! Only a few raindrops have fallen in the last six weeks, with temperatures remaining warmer than normal on all but a handful of days. This changes on Saturday as a deep trough plows into the region, kicking the unending ridge of high pressure eastward. Cool and unsettled weather will linger well into next week. We’re also monitoring the potential for the first significant snowfall in the Mountains. We have a lot to discuss!
Thanks to everyone who entered our “First Snow” contest. We briefly review the entries, which surprisingly follow closely with Boulder’s climatology of late October.
