Following a bitter cold and snowy January in the Front Range, the month of February so far has brought with it milder conditions. Last week we had our first 60-degree day in Boulder since just before Christmas, and even our first 70-degree day since late October. The warmer weather has been a welcomed reprieve, though it has rightfully confused some flowering plants across the area with early blooms. This warm weather was never going to last though — we’ve still got plenty of winter to go and this week will get us right back on-track with a two-part blast of Arctic air and snow headed for the Front Range. Read on for the latest details on the snowfall timing, amounts, and expected temperatures.

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
Hot on the heels of an extremely warm and dry end to 2024, January landed on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with well above normal snowfall and very cold conditions across much of Colorado, including here in Boulder. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.

While Punxsutawney Phil and Flatiron Freddy both saw their shadows Sunday morning solidifying their predictions for six more weeks of winter, we’ll start off February with wildly above normal temperatures in the 60s to lower 70s here in the Front Range. However, we are watching an Arctic cold front that will peskily waver back and forth across northeast Colorado as the week progresses leading to fluctuating temperatures and plenty of uncertainty. The brunt of the cold air, though, likely will not plunge into our area until sometime next week alongside increasing chances for snowflakes.
A medium-impact winter storm is headed for eastern Colorado, bringing some snowfall and strong winds to parts of the Denver Metro area late Wednesday night into Thursday afternoon. Weather models show varying predictions, but the southern and southeast suburbs of Denver are favored most for up to a couple inches of snow, with higher totals possible along and east of the Palmer Divide. We discuss the rift in the model guidance that is leading to the uncertainty, as well as the latest timing and most likely outcome from this somewhat warmer southern-track winter storm.
After a definitively wet November in the Front Range, Mother Nature did a complete one-eighty with December landing one of the warmest and least snowy on record in many locations, topped off with our first rainy Christmas in 82 years! Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during December and how it relates to climatology.
2025 has been exceptionally cold and snowy in the Front Range so far, but is that finally about to change? This week we can expect several tranquil sunny days to begin but we are watching the threat for more snow as a low-pressure system approaches from California by Thursday.
January is typically our driest month of the year, but in 2025 it’s been anything but as another round of fluffy snow dumped on the Front Range Friday night into Saturday. We briefly review both the snow totals from this single storm and the seasonal ones.
