November 2024 was exceptionally moist across most of eastern Colorado, with some locations nabbing their wettest November on record. In Boulder, we received a respectable 2.64″ of moisture, good enough for 4th all-time since the late 1800s. While there is certainty still more work to do, the widespread wet weather allowed for modest drought improvement across much of the state. Despite a late and lackluster start to the snow season, Boulder and Denver have both surged above normal season-to-date. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during November and how it relates to climatology.

We've mostly dodged winter weather so far in the Boulder/Denver area, but that will change next week as cold air settles in along with two potential cut-off low pressure systems.

Following last week's deluge of rain/snow, drought has improved over much of eastern Colorado where 1 to 5" of moisture has fallen. We certainly still need much more in the Denver area, but last week helped get the needle moving in the right direction 🎉 #COWX #Colorado #Drought pic.twitter.com/jeinhEfURn
