Thanks to everyone that entered our 2022 First Snowfall Contest. We briefly review the entries which actually trend towards a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest. We may not have to wait too long for a winner as cooler weather and maybe a few snowflakes are brewing in the extended forecast. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow — big or small!

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
Unfortunately, we’ve got another dry stretch this week across the Front Range. Temperatures will trend warmer each day as a ridge of high pressure to our northwest remains in place through much of the week, possibly getting close to 80 degrees by Thursday and Friday. However, there are strong hints in the guidance that much cooler weather will rear its ugly head late in the upcoming weekend into early next week. This pattern shift may result in a chance of snow for our area, though that remains uncertain for now. Read on for more details.
The week ahead will feature persistent northwest flow across the northern Rockies which will keep things sunny, mostly dry and generally mild for us in the Front Range. Overall temperatures will be up and down with the only chance of rain for the week coming late in the day Tuesday. There’s no snow in the pipeline either, but frost will be possible Thursday morning especially in outlying areas. Read on for our complete outlook of the weather week ahead.
September 2022 followed the trend of the rest of the summer as another hot and somewhat dry month across the Front Range. The month entertained one of the longest and most intense heatwaves for so late in the season. Rainfall was below normal and there was no snow during the month. Smoke from out of state wildfires was also a theme at times. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during September and how it relates to climatology.

*Sorry. This contest is now closed to entries*
The first full week of October will feature a few cold frontal passages, one in the beginning and another toward the end. Both will be accompanied by the chance of rain showers and below normal temperatures. In between these two systems, drier weather and near seasonal conditions will be the norm under weak ridging aloft. Sorry folks! There’s still no snow nor any freezing temperatures in the pipeline for the Denver Metro area. Read on for more details.
The first full week of autumn will be rather tame across the Front Range. A ridge of high pressure will provide warm and mostly dry conditions through Thursday for the area, but a storm system is eyeing the region Friday into Saturday with rain and some Mountain snow on the way. Read on for all the details.
Get ready — we’ll have shades of both summer and fall this week! An anomalous ridge of high pressure over the southern Great Plains will lead to a dry and hot first few days. However, a strong storm system out West and its attendant cold front will bring well below normal temperatures and rain showers Wednesday into Thursday, our first taste autumn perhaps. The late-week period will turn more seasonal for Colorado. Read on for all the details.
