This week begins on the warm side, but temperatures will take a major tumble as our first taste of winter arrives Wednesday night into Thursday. Our forecast calls for the first accumulating snow of the season and potentially record cold temperatures. Read on for more details.

These posts contain some discussion of the white stuff, whether it be mountain snow pack or a Front Range snowstorm.
Thanks to everyone that entered our 2019 First Snow Contest. We briefly review the entries, which actually favor a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow, BIG or SMALL!
The week begins warm and sunny, but don’t be fooled as an autumn cold front is looming. Our coldest day in more than four months is developing for Tuesday alongside low clouds and drizzle. However, the end of the week will see above normal temperatures return.
An extraordinary winter storm is taking aim on the northern Rockies this weekend. Fortunately (unfortunately?), the feet of snow in the forecast are not for Colorado. We take a look at this classic upslope event and also discuss the impacts that this historic system with massive breadth will have on our area.
5th Annual BoulderCAST First Snow Contest
*CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED TO ENTRIES*
Are you eager for the first snow of the season? Have you already waxed your skis and purchased your Epic Pass? Our first big snow could be right around the corner! We provide a brief overview of Boulder’s first snowfall climatology, discuss the snowfall forecast for the next ten days, and then pose a question…“When will Boulder’s first measurable snow occur this year?” Submit your guess for a chance to win an assortment of prizes. Those who get closest to the date of our first snow win.
The seasons are changing! A series of temperature swings will be present this week, from potential record heat to more seasonal values for the beginning of Autumn. We’ll be mainly dry, but colder air will begin to knock on our door by the weekend. Read on for more details.
Two strong Pacific storm systems are moving ashore this week but unfortunately will pass mainly north of Colorado. This will result in continued warm conditions with little opportunity for rainfall or Mountain snow as we conclude the summer season.
The next several days are going to be unseasonably cool and active across the Front Range. We discuss the outlook for large hail and tornadoes Friday afternoon, accumulating snow in the Mountains, the potential for flooding, and the gloomy weather sticking around for the weekend. Yes…all of that!
