All the ingredients are coming together this morning for a cold and dreary Wednesday in the Front Range.

Get ready, Colorado! The first snowflakes and a hard freeze of the season are on their way as this dramatic shift in weather across the state continues. Better late than never, right? We discuss when the snow will begin, how much could stick on the grassy surfaces, and when to expect the end to the 2024 growing season as temperatures are sure to plummet below freezing. We’re also tracking another potential snow event early next week. Here’s the latest.

This Week in Colorado Weather: October 28, 2024 (Updated)

October 28, 2024 / Andy

Front Range weather will be tame to start the week with above normal temperatures for our Monday but under extensive wave clouds. However, all eyes are on a developing storm system moving onshore Monday night in California. As the system tracks across the Four Corners and into our area, it will bring the Mountain snowfall, as well as the chance of rain ending as wet snow late Tuesday night into early Wednesday in the Denver Metro area. While the midweek storm will offer a decent chance at our first flakes of the season, amounts are expected to be rather light. We break it all down for you, including the probabilities and our preliminary snowfall map. The first hard freeze of the season is also taking shape for Wednesday night.

Updated (Tue 10/29/2024 7:00AM): Our snowfall map was updated to align with the latest guidance, with details discussed in our Premium update HERE.

This Week in Colorado Weather: October 21, 2024

October 21, 2024 / Ben Castellani

As we transition deeper into autumn season, Colorado weather continues to keep us all on our toes. This past weekend, a slow-moving storm system that was expected to bring widespread light precipitation to the Denver Metro area ended up being a tad underwhelming, with the bulk of the moisture staying to our south. While Boulder and Denver received only minimal rainfall, areas of southern Colorado and New Mexico experienced heavy rainfall which led to deadly flash flooding. Looking ahead, this week promises relatively quiet weather for the Front Range, with just a brief cool down scheduled for late week. We’re also tracking an interesting storm in the pipeline for next week which could bring sub-freezing temperatures and potentially some snow to the area just in time for Halloween.

Colorado Forecast Update: After a month-long dry spell, precipitation will finally return to the Front Range this weekend, but not nearly as much as we need…

October 17, 2024 / BoulderCAST Team

It’s been quite a long time since our last measurable precipitation in the Front Range, but that will change abruptly this weekend with the arrival of our next autumn storm system. Unfortunately the slow-moving low pressure will dive too far south into Arizona, largely fizzling out before ever reaching northeast Colorado. Nonetheless, it will bring a bit of rain, snow and much colder temperatures to our area for a few days. Read on for our latest thoughts on how the unsettled weekend ahead will play out. We also briefly review the entries to our 2024 First Snowfall Contest with predictions actually trending towards a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest (color us shocked!). There will indeed be some snowflakes in our forecast domain this weekend, but Boulder is not expected to see accumulating snow.
