Front Range Snowfall Totals: November 14-15, 2022

November 15, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

A few last minute changes in some of the short-range models meant the accumulating snowfall last night largely fell unexpectedly across the area. Snow totals were boosted by exceptionally high snow-to-liquid ratios of greater than 25-to-1 in some cases. Let’s take a look at the snow totals across the Front Range!

A cold northwest flow persists through the extended period which will favor well below normal temperatures all week long in the Front Range. We are watching a few shots of snow in this flow as well, with the best chance coming late in the week as upslope and potential jet-forced snow bands come together. Read on for more details and what weather we can expect this week.

This week’s weather across the Front Range will be almost a carbon copy of last week. That is, dry and mild conditions holding through Wednesday before much colder temperatures and snow arrive on Thursday. At this time, the snow potential appears minor at best as a huge winter storm system takes an unfavorable track directly over our area. The bigger story will be the cold temperatures it ushers in and just how long they stick around afterwards. Read on for all the details.

Winter Weather Update: Another, better chance for everyone’s first accumulating snow Thursday evening

November 2, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

After a stunning weather-Wednesday, winter conditions are on the horizon again for Thursday as a big storm system moves into Colorado from the west. This one will bring much colder temperatures Thursday and widespread light to moderate snow to the area Thursday evening. Confidence is high that that most everyone will finally get their first accumulating snowfall of the season with this notably colder situation. We discuss the latest timing on the change-over to snow and provide our snowfall forecast map.

Premium Storm Update (11/3/22 7:00AM): Overnight model runs confirm the situation — the accumulating snow for all this evening remains on-track! We provide a brief update on the timing of the snow, how it will impact the evening commute, and discuss a few changes we’re making to our snowfall forecast amounts this morning. READ HERE

October 2022 Graphical Weather Review: Not as bone-dry as last October, but still dry & warm overall

November 2, 2022 / Ben Castellani

October 2022 was yet another warm and dry month for the Front Range as drought expanded across the state and our precipitation deficit for 2022 grew further. Denver and Boulder both saw later than normal first snowfalls and first freezes. There were no major heatwaves or cold snaps to speak of during the month either. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during October and how it relates to climatology.

This Week in Colorado Weather: October 31, 2022

Warm temperatures will be the story through midweek in the 60s to near 70 degrees with a ridge of high pressure slowly sliding eastward, including picture-perfect conditions for Halloween evening festivities. However, the pattern shifts much colder and potentially snowy late Thursday into Friday. There remains considerable model uncertainty right now but there are definitely good chances for snow later in the week. Stay tuned and read on for more details.

Storm Recap: Boulder officially recorded its first accumulating snow of the season on Thursday….but it was only 0.1″

October 28, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

Much-needed rain and snow fell across the Front Range on Thursday as a quick-moving storm raced across the state. Though temperatures remained entirely above freezing in Boulder and Denver, some embedded heavier pockets of snow allowed for minor accumulations to occur on the grass in spots, including at the official climate station in Boulder. This made for an interesting but somewhat underwhelming first snowfall of the season for many. We recap the storm, take a look at the snowfall totals across the region, announce the plethora of winners to our 2022 First Snowfall Contest, and look ahead to our next chance of snow.
