February 9, 2024 / Ben Castellani

After a largely quiet work-week with seasonal temperatures and dry conditions across most of the Front Range, winter weather will make a return for the second weekend in a row! A series of disturbances will impact Colorado over the next couple days seeding the return of snow to the area. Winter weather will come in two parts — the first Friday night with locally heavy convective snowfall expected.

The beginning of 2024 was completely opposite to the conclusion of 2023, with temperatures taking a sharp colder turn as multiple Arctic outbreaks slammed the Front Range. Warmer temperatures toward the end of the month saved January from being one of the all-time coldest here. There were also several light snow events during the month, but nothing substantial — not surprising as January is our driest month of the year after all. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.

This Week in Colorado Weather: February 5, 2024

February 5, 2024 / Andy

The first week of February starts off dry and mild as high pressure ridging and downslope flow will develop across the Front Range helping to chip away at the fresh, sloppy snowpack. A midweek system will favor mode cloud cover and winds, along with a low-end chance of rain or snow, though these will mostly be confined to the higher terrain. A better chance of snow and colder temperatures appears to come Friday or Saturday with most guidance suggesting a favorable storm track for our area. Read on as we discuss this and more in our weekly outlook.
