March 6, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

Here’s a quick and colorful rundown of our weather during February 2021 and how it relates to climatology.

Denver & Boulder Snowfall Totals: March 4-5, 2021

March 5, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

The first “warm” spring storm of the year moved across Colorado from the southwest on Thursday. Temperatures were borderline with this system, and many locations saw a trace or less of snow with rain the dominant precipitation type. However, the Foothills, Palmer Divide and southeast suburbs of Denver did see a little snow. Let’s take a look at the totals.

The first messy spring storm of the year will bring a mix of rain and snow Thursday

It sure has felt like spring the last few days, but Mother Nature will remind us soon that is it very much still winter on the calendar. Warm sunshine will be replaced with thick clouds, cold rain and ultimately wet snow on Thursday. The incoming storm is lacking truly cold air, but it will have just enough for most of us (but not all of us) to see a little snow. Let’s take a look at how the first “warm” storm of 2021 will play out across the Front Range!

UPDATE (Thu 3/4/21 7:00AM): With temperatures being so marginal, uncertainty lingers in regards how much precipitation will fall and who will see accumulating snow from the storm. We discuss this and more in this morning’s Premium weather discussion, found HERE.

This week in Colorado weather: March 1, 2021

March 1, 2021 / Andy

The first full-week of March starts out with temperatures on the up-and-up! Highs will rise well into the 50’s by midweek as a dome of high pressure settles into the Intermountain West spelling out above average temperatures for the Front Range. A late-week southern storm system will bring a chance of snow to the Mountains and rain/snow to the lower elevations.

About half of the Front Range received snowfall right in line with our forecast last night, while the other half saw incredible snowfall amounts of a foot or more! What caused such an explosion of heavy snow in the heart of Denver last night? Let’s take a look.

Tracking upslope snow Wednesday night, a big gradient expected (Updated)

February 23, 2021 / Ben Castellani

It’s been a glorious start to the week so far with highs getting back above normal on Monday and Tuesday. Even though it was quite breezy at times, temperatures flirting with 60 degrees took the chill right out of the wind. The stretch of fair weather changes very soon as two cold fronts and a taste of winter weather bear down on Colorado. A widespread, upslope-driven snowfall event is gearing-up for Wednesday evening into Thursday. Let’s take a look at the timing and snowfall amounts expected across the Front Range!

UPDATE (Wed 2/24/21 7:00AM): Updated snowfall forecast map, fine-tuning amounts and the position of the expected sharp gradient. Details of these changes are included in Wednesday morning’s Premium weather discussion, found HERE.
