Winter Weather Update: A sloppy spring storm will have rain changing to snow Wednesday night

March 15, 2022 / Ben Castellani

Another Wednesday, another winter storm is going to hit the Front Range! A Pacific trough will impact the area Wednesday into Thursday bringing a return of the white stuff to the Boulder-Denver Metro. Unlike the last handful of snowstorms, this one will have just enough cold air to turn rain over to snow across the entire area. Snowfall amounts remain somewhat uncertain, but most of us should expect at least a couple inches of slushy snow by midday Thursday, with much more in the higher terrain. Let’s take a look at our first “warm” winter storm of the season!

This week in Colorado weather: March 14, 2022

After a mild and gorgeous weekend, the week ahead continues on the same note, at least to start! Colder temperatures and a good threat for rain/snow arrives late Wednesday into Thursday. Uncertainty remains on where snowfall will be greatest, but likely favors the higher elevations of the Front Range due to the marginal temperatures. Sunshine and warmth return for the upcoming weekend.

Winter Weather Update: Another Arctic front brings more bitter cold & more snow Wednesday into Thursday

March 8, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

Mother Nature just won’t cut us a break in 2022! Can you believe that another Arctic blast is headed our way with more snow and even colder temperatures. The Arctic front arrives before dawn on Wednesday and will be followed by an extended period of snow. Snow could be heavy at times Wednesday afternoon into the evening, and may not fully wrap up until Thursday afternoon. We discuss the setup, timing, and likely snowfall amounts as another frigid airmass ominously descends on the Front Range.

Premium Storm Update (3/9/22 7:00AM): Overnight model runs have further confirmed the chance for scattered heavy snow bands to develop Wednesday afternoon and evening. We discuss the latest on the storm as snow has already begun falling from Boulder County northward. READ HERE

After a very cold and wintry weekend, the week ahead will be…well, unfortunately more of the same. We will enjoy a little bit of sunshine Monday and Tuesday, but yet another Arctic blast will arrive Wednesday to keep things cold and/or snowy for the rest of week. We discuss the expected timing of the Arctic front, potential fluffy snowfall amounts, and just how cold it will get later this week.

Light snow ramps up Sunday morning and continues into Sunday night

March 5, 2022 / Ben Castellani

Light snow and at times freezing drizzle have been falling in Boulder most of the day today, but it hasn’t amounted to much yet in terms of accumulation as snowfall rates have not been enough to counteract the increasingly strong early March sun! The lack of accumulation will change on Sunday as colder air and more substantial upslope arrive. Let’s talk temperatures, timing and those snowfall amounts expected through Monday.

Friday PM Update: Isolated thunder this evening, then rain changing to wet snow early Saturday as winter returns

March 4, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

Our warm weather streak is still on-track to come to an end Friday evening after sunset, with isolated thundershowers followed by rain changing to wet snow overnight into early Saturday morning. In this brief update, we discuss the timing of everything, potential accumulations, and look ahead to Sunday as a colder system will enter the picture bringing more snow.

Forecast Update: Our sampler of spring is about to end, watching the threat of heavy convective snow early Saturday

March 3, 2022 / Ben Castellani

It may have seemed like spring was here to stay the way this week has played out so far — but alas, winter is gearing up again just in time for the weekend. We’ve got two different storm systems to discuss with you this evening. The first will offer a slight chance of thunderstorms Friday evening followed by a threat of heavy convective snow early Saturday morning. The second system will bring sub-freezing temperatures and lighter upslope snow to the entire area on Sunday. Let’s take a look.
