After a quick burst of weekend snow and our coldest temperatures since early December, the week ahead turns much quieter across Colorado. Temperatures will climb steadily as Boulder and Denver stay dry into the New Year, while the Mountains prepare for a well‑timed round of snow for the holiday weekend. We’ll walk you through the day‑to‑day weather this week, where the snow will fall, and check in on long‑range guidance which still isn’t advertising much in the way of winter for eastern Colorado.
A few wobbly overnight snow bands dropped a light, fluffy coating of powder across the Front Range—right on target with our forecast.

We also look ahead to the warm, dry pattern set to carry us into the New Year.
