These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
The Christmas holiday week starts off on the cold to chilly side as an area of low pressure continues to impact us from the central United States. There will be another chance of snow late tonight on Christmas into Tuesday, but only light accumulations are expected south and southeast of Denver. However, blizzard conditions are set to unfold across far eastern Colorado with travel eastward becoming impossible at times Monday night into Wednesday. A trend towards drier and warmer weather is in-store for the latter part of the week and to close out 2023. Read on for the latest details.
Winter weather is on-track to arrive into the Front Range Saturday evening into Sunday just in time to give most of us a white Christmas! Two vastly different storm systems will be moving in from opposite directions later in the day Saturday with widespread rain changing to snow across the Boulder and Denver area. While we still have some lingering concerns regarding temperatures and exactly when rain will switch-over to snow, our forecast confidence has grown over the last few days. In this final forecast update, we discuss the storm’s timeline, how much snow will accumulate across the area, the probability the snow sticks around into Christmas Day, and how it will impact holiday travel the next few days. We’ve even got another chance of snow coming the day after Christmas. Whew! Read on for all the details.
We’ve got a few more mild days ahead to end the work week, but as promised, winter will return for the holiday weekend in what is shaping up to be a challenging forecast indeed. We are finally starting to see better agreement in the various weather models, but things are still far from certain. Our weather will begin to trend downhill on Saturday with cooler temperatures and a chance of rain showers. Saturday night rain will change to snow with snow accumulation likely for all heading into Christmas Eve. Exact snowfall amounts and the timing of everything are still being worked out, but here’s our latest thoughts on the approaching holiday winter storm.
The work week ahead will feature veritably pleasant weather across the Front Range with warm temperatures and dry conditions persisting through Friday, including at least one day of potential record highs. However, things will take a drastic wintry turn for the upcoming weekend with accumulating snow highly likely in the days leading up the Christmas. Despite heaps of uncertainty, we also discuss the latest details for the evolving winter storm set to cause travel impacts across the broader High Plains region during the busy holiday weekend ahead.
