The week will end with a bang as snow is headed to the Denver Metro area on Friday thanks to a quick-moving storm system diving across the state. A front will pass through early Friday morning bringing colder temperatures for the day with snow developing late in the afternoon into evening. This event will be headlined by the risk of heavy jet-forced snow bands which could wreak havoc on the evening commute. Let’s take a look at the atmospheric setup, timing of the first flakes and heaviest snow, and our snowfall forecast map.

January 31, 2022 / Ben Castellani

A slow-moving winter storm will impact the Front Range Tuesday through Thursday bringing accumulating snow and bitter cold temperatures to the entire area. We expect the most snow to fall in the city of Boulder and nearby Foothills with lower amounts in Denver. Nonetheless, travel impacts will be widespread and temperatures will bottom out below zero as the storm pulls away on Thursday. Let’s talk timing and look at our snowfall forecast map.

This week in Colorado weather: January 31, 2022

January 31, 2022 / Andy

The final day of what has been a snowy January will be quiet across the Front Range, but that all changes for the start of February as a significant winter storm takes aim on the region. Upslope favored areas like Boulder could very well see close to a foot of snow this week while parts of Denver will see much less. Some of the coldest air of the season will be moving in as well. We give our current thoughts on the incoming storm and our preliminary snowfall expectations. Quiet weather returns late in the week and for the upcoming weekend.
