After another round of spring snow over the weekend, the pattern will stay somewhat active across the Front Range this week, but with the warmer late April temperatures translating to only rain chances for the lower elevations. Unfortunately it looks like the gloom will stick around into the upcoming weekend as well. Let’s take a look.

This Week in Colorado Weather: April 15, 2024

April 15, 2024 / Andy

Warm temperatures, low humidity, and strong gusty winds will start our week with continued fire danger across the Plains. A strong area of low pressure will also bring the threat of rain showers late Monday into Tuesday to the Denver Metro area, with heavy snow piling up in the Mountains. Later in the week, a cold front will slide down ushering in below normal temperatures and upslope flow. A prolonged period of unsettled weather will follow this front, with even some late-season snow possible in the Metro area and heavy snow looking likely in the Foothills. Read on to find out more.

The month of March was fairly dry and chilly most of the time, but we can’t forget the historic El Niño snowstorm which slammed the entire Front Range around the middle of the month. Snow totals of 1 to 2 feet occurred in Boulder and Denver with up to 5 feet fell in the nearby Foothills. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during March and how it relates to climatology.

Forecast Update: Weekend storm offers little in the way of precipitation, but could produce winds up to 100 MPH around Boulder

April 5, 2024 / BoulderCAST Team

An exceptionally strong spring storm is approaching Colorado which will develop into a big ol’ blizzard in the coming days. However, unlike the last few storms which have been direct hits on the Front Range, this one will track further north leading to more wind than precipitation in our area. After a warm and gusty Friday with high fire danger, the incoming storm will bring colder temperatures and a brief chance of rain/snow showers on Saturday. The biggest impacts from this system, though, will come in the form of prolonged damaging downslope winds. We take a look at the large-scale atmospheric setup and discuss the potential snowfall amounts and which unlucky areas have a chance at wind gusts up to 100 MPH this weekend.
