The weather this week remains cool and unsettled as we transition from May into the month of June. Memorial Day will be cool and gusty, but at least it will be dry for any outdoor plans including the Bolder Boulder. We are watching a widespread upslope rain event Tuesday into Wednesday which will be cold enough to produce some late-season snow in the Foothills. Late week we warm back up with daily chances for late-day thunderstorms. Read on for our full forecast outlook of the week ahead.

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
The week starts off unsettled, cloudy, and chilly as a series of mid-level systems keep the Front Range in a persistent upslope flow. Showers, and at times, thundershowers, will be isolated to scattered over the Plains and Foothills through Tuesday. Temperatures may get cold enough for some flakes to fall in the Foothills. Drier conditions with temperatures rising into the 80s and 90s take hold by late week.
It’s only fitting that the absolutely bonkers 2021-2022 snow season would end with a late-May dumping of snow. We review the lead up to the event, the snowfall totals across the area, and how this snowstorm stacks up historically.
Models have stuck to their guns overnight and our confidence has increased that a widespread, significant winter storm will impact the Front Range Friday into Saturday. This system could produce more than 2″ of much-needed moisture across the area. Unfortunately, a good chunk of this will be falling in the form of heavy wet snow which will have damaging impacts across the area from downed trees and power outages. Sub-freezing temperatures are also expected to impact sensitive plants. Here’s the latest on the storm, including how much snow to expect, how cold it will get, and a few ideas to prepare for this late-season taste of winter!
Just when it seemed we had the shortest snow season and earliest last snowfall records in the bag, Mother Nature is about to throw a late-spring wrench into the forecast! A winter storm is heading for Colorado and it will bring snow to everyone Friday into Saturday even across the lower elevations in Boulder and Denver. While the Foothills communities should brace for a major damaging snow event, some crucial aspects of the forecast remain fuzzy which has allowed only low confidence in the exact snow amounts for the immediate Metro area. Let’s take a look at the latest details and go over our preliminary snowfall expectations and impacts.

Elevated fire conditions will be in place nearly every day this week, though the most dangerous conditions will be Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with strong winds and warm/dry conditions across the Front Range. Above normal temperatures will be around throughout the week, with potential record highs shaping up for Wednesday. The week remains dry overall, although there will be some light Mountain snow at the beginning and latter part of the week — certainly not enough to please the skiers. Read on for our full weekly outlook.
