A strong jet streak moved across Colorado on the evening of February 3rd with a heavy band of jet-forced snow clipping only the far south and eastern portions of the Denver Metro area. Let’s take a look at the totals.

A strong storm system will move into Colorado during the day on Wednesday producing heavy snow in the Mountains. It will then kick eastward across the Denver Metro area Wednesday evening and night with a chance of rain changing to snow. We discuss the timing, amounts and provide our snowfall forecast map. Let’s take a look!

BoulderCAST Daily – Tue 02/02/21 | The Groundhog said six more weeks of winter but we have concerns about tomorrow’s snow

⦁❶⦁ Despite Phil’s wintery prediction earlier this morning, our temperatures will soar into the 60’s today and tomorrow

⦁❷⦁ A quick-hitting trough will bring a chance of snow to the Front Range Wednesday night

⦁❸⦁ Even with decent lift and a potent jet core overhead, downslope looks to be too much to overcome northwest of Denver with this system

⦁❹⦁ Expected accumulations are minimal, but as always forecasting jet snow is tricky so stay tuned!

This week’s snow event, while certainly welcomed, is not nearly enough not help the ongoing extreme drought across the entire state of Colorado. With a dry stretch shaping up through the weekend ahead, Boulder will most likely polish off January with its 7th consecutive month of below normal precipitation. We recap the recent “snowstorm”, discuss the current state of the drought, update you on the evolving La Niña, and provide our prediction for what lies ahead the rest of winter.

A few light snow showers impacted the Denver Metro area on Martin Luther King Jr Day afternoon and into the overnight. Only the very far southwestern suburbs had any snow stick. Boulder and Denver both reported just a trace of snow. A few inches were observed in the Foothills of Boulder and Jefferson Counties.

Shown below is our snowfall forecast map with actual storm totals overlaid in boxes. Green boxes indicate that our forecast verified to within one inch of the observed snowfall. Red did not.
