This Week in Colorado Weather: October 21, 2024

As we transition deeper into autumn season, Colorado weather continues to keep us all on our toes. This past weekend, a slow-moving storm system that was expected to bring widespread light precipitation to the Denver Metro area ended up being a tad underwhelming, with the bulk of the moisture staying to our south. While Boulder and Denver received only minimal rainfall, areas of southern Colorado and New Mexico experienced heavy rainfall which led to deadly flash flooding. Looking ahead, this week promises relatively quiet weather for the Front Range, with just a brief cool down scheduled for late week. We’re also tracking an interesting storm in the pipeline for next week which could bring sub-freezing temperatures and potentially some snow to the area just in time for Halloween.

Nonetheless, it will bring a bit of rain, snow and much colder temperatures to our area for a few days. Read on for our latest thoughts on how the unsettled weekend ahead will play out. We also briefly review the entries to our 2024 First Snowfall Contest with predictions actually trending towards a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest (color us shocked!). There will indeed be some snowflakes in our forecast domain this weekend, but Boulder is not expected to see accumulating snow.

This Week in Colorado Weather: October 14, 2024

Temperatures across the Front Range will remain unseasonably warm for much of the week ahead pushing into the 70s and 80s. Precipitation will once again be vacant from the forecast early this week with no major weather systems to speak of. However, that all changes as we head into Friday and the weekend as our team is tracking a strong storm system that is taking aim on Colorado. Rather large uncertainty still remains in the exact outcome for us, but we discuss the odds of seeing our first snow and/or much-needed rainfall.
