The most significant Arctic outbreak for the Front Range since 2022 is brewing! The initial cold front will blast through Friday early evening ushering in sub-zero wind chills which will persist all the way into at least Tuesday morning. While the extreme cold is all but certain at this point, the snowfall potential is a bit trickier of a forecast as there will be three separate chances for snow mixed into the polar plunge. However, the Mountains will be getting absolutely showered in powder. Let’s take a look at bitter cold and snowy forecast heading into the MLK holiday weekend.

Breezy conditions and chilly temperatures will kick off the week behind a departing winter storm which brought a thin blanket of snow to the Metro area last night. Highs below freezing on Monday will trend slightly warmer in the coming days, but with gusty winds remaining. The tail-end of the week will turn more active with a few chances at light snowfall. There are also signs in the extended that an Arctic airmass will ooze into the region during the upcoming weekend turning things even colder for us. Read on for more details
All is quiet on Sunday, but that will quickly change after midnight Sunday night! The third southern-track storm system in five days will take a more favorable track for the Front Range, leading to a period of snow and gusty winds in our area early Monday. While there is still some uncertainty in the exact outcome, we discuss the latest forecast including potential snow amounts and where blizzard conditions will unfold on Monday.
December 2023 was yet another warm month in Boulder, the same fate which has befallen four out of the last five months. Despite the lack of appreciable snow events, precipitation ended just a hair above normal for the month since December is typically one of our driest months of the year. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.
The weather pattern is shifting as we speak across the West and with several southern-track storms set to impact our area in the coming week or so. The first arrives on Thursday, but unfortunately it is coming in a bit too far south with things largely bypassing the Denver Metro area. Still there will be some amount of wintry weather to end the week. Let’s take a look at the latest forecast for not only the storm knocking on the door, but the next one gearing up for late in the weekend.
El Niño has yet to deliver any major storms to the Front Range this winter season but that could change heading into the first week or two of January as a more active southern storm track takes shape across western North America. Several systems will bring snow to Colorado, though the focus appears to be across the southern tier of the state rather than the Front Range. We discuss the notably variable forecast for the week ahead including several chances for snow in the extended.
