Boulder’s long snow drought has finally ended—just shy of a record streak. An Arctic front swept through early Saturday, dropping temps fast and delivering the season’s first flakes. Boulder picked up 0.3″, the latest first snowfall ever recorded in the city and it wasn’t even close. Curious how our forecast stacked up and what’s next? Spoiler: Another round of snow is already knocking on the door for Sunday.
A big change is about to hit Front Range: after one more warm, breezy Friday, a strong cold front sweeps in overnight, dropping temperatures to the coldest of the season. Will Denver and Boulder finally see their first snow? That’s not guaranteed, unfortunately, but the Mountains are in for several fluffy inches and tricky travel ahead. Read on for the full breakdown—including details on the timing, our snowfall map, travel impacts and what lies ahead for our next wintry system on Sunday.
After weeks of unseasonable warmth, the Front Range is staring down its first taste of winter.

Read on for a full breakdown of what to expect and when, including our preliminary snowfall forecast map for Friday night.
As we wrap up November and head into Thanksgiving week, the weather is serving up a mix of calm and intrigue.

It’s been a tricky week for the weather models — and for us forecasters trying to make sense of it all. Our latest storm system has kept everyone on their toes, thanks to a complicated dance between two low-pressure systems across the Southwest. Each new model run seemed to rewrite the story, with big swings in outcomes and plenty of disagreement between guidance. But now that the storm is closing in, confidence is finally improving: we’re looking at a light precipitation event for the Front Range, with rain the only worry across the lower elevations.
Enjoy Wednesday’s sunshine while it lasts—it’s the calm before a complicated storm setup arrives tomorrow. A pair of low‑pressure systems are set to interact in a complicated manner late Thursday into Friday, leaving big questions about how exactly things will unfold across eastern Colorado. Read on for our latest thoughts on the developing late-week autumn storm headed for the Front Range.
