February 21, 2021 / Ben Castellani

A weak storm and associated jet streak moved across Colorado on the evening of February 20th producing bands of moderate snowfall for a brief period. Southeastern portions of the Denver Metro area were hit hardest. Let’s take a look at the totals.

Another day, another chance of light snow. The theme of this winter continues as a weak storm system blazes across Colorado Saturday evening bringing a chance of snow to the region. We’ve got some jet-forcing to deal with this time, so localized bands of heavy snow are possible, but our forecast keeps most of these south and east of Denver. Let’s take a look at the timing and snowfall amounts!

Finally, we got more snow than south Texas and Louisiana! The atmosphere was primed for an explosion of snow Wednesday evening in the Foothills and western Denver Metro area and it did not disappoint this time. Favorable conditions for convective heavy showers for a short window yesterday produced up to a foot of snow in some areas. Let’s take a quick look back at the setup and snowfall totals from across the region.

Heads up! Difficult-to-predict convective snow showers will be around Wednesday afternoon and evening ⚠️

An intriguing weather setup is developing today that will bring a high likelihood of scattered heavy snow showers to the Front Range Wednesday afternoon and evening. The focus will be across the western Denver Metro area, but everyone stands a chance at some snow. We discuss potential snowfall amounts and the impacts to the Wednesday evening commute.

Eight Days Below Freezing: A recap of our bitter cold week trapped in an Arctic airmass

February 16, 2021 / BoulderCAST Team

No one fully expected the Arctic airmass that arrived last Sunday evening, a solid nine days ago, to remain entrenched across the Denver Metro area for this long…but it did! We take a look back at the series of events as they unfolded over the last week, including the first regional wildfires of 2021, two dollops of light snow and the coldest temperatures for our area since 2014.

This week in Colorado weather: February 15, 2021

February 15, 2021 / Andy

After a bitter cold stretch under the fringes of the Polar Vortex, a “relative” warming trend develops this week but we still remain largely below average. By mid-week a cold front will bring the return of light snow to the area. Week’s end may turn breezy and finally near normal with potential Chinook winds developing. Let’s dig into the details.

While the snow was largely disappointing, it has opened the door for a bitter cold Sunday night

February 14, 2021 / Ben Castellani

Snowfall amounts over the last few days were largely disappointing across the Denver Metro area, mostly coming in below expectations. We discuss what happened to all the snow, look ahead to the coldest temperatures which are still to come and discuss why Sunday night will actually be warmer than last night in some locations.

Double-digit below zero temperatures and several inches of snow are on the way

You think it was cold the last few days? Just wait and see what is coming! The coldest temperatures in nearly a decade have settled into the Front Range and it’s only going to get colder. We’re also tracking a rather unique light snowfall event that will spread accumulating snow across the area Saturday afternoon into Sunday. We discuss just how cold it will get and look at the snowfall amounts headed our way.
