After one of the snowiest mid-winter stretches in Boulder’s history, it appears that things will quiet down somewhat for the week ahead. Temperatures will be fairly mild through the week. However, there will be several disturbances to watch which could produce snow across the Front Range — one Wednesday night with another to follow late Friday. Read on for our complete outlook for the week ahead.

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
The tide may finally be starting to turn with the ongoing drought it seems. January 2022 was one of Boulder’s snowiest with two and a half feet of snowfall reported during the month. It was also the first month to conclude with colder than normal temperatures since May of last year. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.
As of Wednesday morning, the heaviest snow is now behind us, but this snowstorm is not completely over and done with yet. We review the snow totals so far, discuss how much more to expect through the day, and take a look at what is shaping up to be the coldest night of the season ahead.
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.
Premium Storm Update (2/1/22 7:00AM): Overnight model runs have increased our confidence that higher-end snow totals will occur with this system. Thus we are bumping up snow amounts a tad across the area. We discuss the model changes and some things that still need to be watched closely as the snow begins Tuesday afternoon. READ HERE
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.
Adding in the few inches that fell on Thursday, Boulder has now notched nearly two feet of snowfall in the month of January, the most since 2014. This recent snow event was just one of many small winter storms to impact the Front Range in the weeks following the devastating Marshall Fire. Colorado has seen slight drought improvement, but there is definitely much more needed. In this update we discuss the recent snow totals, how January as a whole is shaping up, the locations that are seeing drought conditions improve, why La Niña will make further recovery more challenging and much more.
