These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
The week starts off rather warm under increasingly strong southwest flow aloft. This will culminate in elevated fire danger on Tuesday with dry and gusty winds in place. The mid to late week period will turn unsettled and much colder with a series of low pressure systems and cold fronts lining up that will bring at least two chances for Front Range rain and snow during the period. Read on for more details.
The cold front has moved through overnight and temperatures have tumbled considerably. Rain and snow showers are already beginning to develop across the area and this trend will continue through the day. We discuss the latest on the approaching storm and provide some final details on what should be a rather soggy and/or snowy next 18 hours depending on your elevation.
We hope you enjoyed the taste of summer as temperatures soared into the 70s and 80s the last several days because we will be paying for that warmth in short order as much colder temperatures and snowflakes take over the Front Range to end the week. A tricky forecast is set to unfold over the area Friday into Saturday with rain changing to wet spring snow for everyone. Up to 10″ could fall in the higher Foothills communities with even slushy accumulations on the table for the Denver-Boulder area. Let’s discuss the latest on the approaching winter storm.
This first major heatwave of 2023 will unfold this week across the Front Range as a broad ridge of high pressure produces bountiful sunshine and an influx of warm air from the southwest to Colorado. Multiple days of record high temperatures are expected as most of us soar into the 80s. However, late week a big cooldown is taking shape with rain/snow likely returning on Friday. Read on for all the details of the crazy weather week ahead.
This winter has definitely felt longer and colder than any in recent memory. We review some temperature statistics to show that not only has it been an exceptionally cold winter overall, but the lack of any true warm days thrown into the mix made things feel even more extreme.
