We recap the storm that dumped our desperately-needed inaugural snow of the season, and announce the winners of our “First Snow” Contest!
We’re currently about one week away from setting the record for our latest first snowfall in a season. It’s likely a lost cause, though. Following two days of incredible November heat, it finally appears that winter will make a tiny breakthrough and produce a little bit of snow for the Front Range tomorrow afternoon and evening. Read on for all the details and to see our final forecast snow map.
It has been a dismal start to the snow season for the mountains and ski resorts. However, there is good news on the horizon as a strong low pressure system moves in tomorrow with several locales in the High Country seeing snowfall. How much? Will it be enough for a powder day? Read on for our first PowderCAST forecast of the season.
With our last measurable precipitation occurring nearly four weeks ago, enough is enough. After enduring a few days of near-record heat to start the week, our focus will shift to a potent storm system approaching Colorado on Thursday. Though uncertainty remains elevated, the Plains do have a chance of seeing their first accumulating snowfall of the 2016-17 season. Read on for all the details.
We got a couple emails from folks wondering if what they heard on the news was true…will there really be a snowstorm next week? We provide you with the latest information and give our take on the situation.
There is little weather to speak of for this first full-week of November with a ridge of high pressure over Colorado maintaining itself. There will be lots of sunshine and temperatures once again above normal…something which has been the story for much of our fall. One thing of note is a potential cold front late in the week, although it will likely not prevent us from remaining warmer than normal for this time of year. Read on for our full outlook of the week ahead.
Following a very dry and historically warm month of October, the fire bans are back as the drought continues to expand in coverage across the Front Range. For the lower elevations, the most prominent fall color this year has been brown. Will November bring a wetter weather pattern that we desperately need? Read on as we examine Boulder’s climatology and consider the current state of the atmosphere to give our outlook for the next month.
We’ve had quite an unbelievable stretch of weather the past several weeks. However, the bad news is that there hasn’t been any rain in a long time. In fact, Boulder County is once again under a fire ban. We really could use rain or snow, but this week will unfortunately not bring any respite from the dry spell. This first half of the week will focus on a weak shortwave and mountain snow, with the latter week featuring warmer weather and a potential cold front. Read on for our full forecast.
