November 16, 2016 / Ben Castellani

We’re currently about one week away from setting the record for our latest first snowfall in a season. It’s likely a lost cause, though. Following two days of incredible November heat, it finally appears that winter will make a tiny breakthrough and produce a little bit of snow for the Front Range tomorrow afternoon and evening. Read on for all the details and to see our final forecast snow map.

We’ve had quite an unbelievable stretch of weather the past several weeks. However, the bad news is that there hasn’t been any rain in a long time. In fact, Boulder County is once again under a fire ban. We really could use rain or snow, but this week will unfortunately not bring any respite from the dry spell. This first half of the week will focus on a weak shortwave and mountain snow, with the latter week featuring warmer weather and a potential cold front. Read on for our full forecast.

Our recent warm stretch is more typical of mid-September than mid-October, but it’s really hard to complain. Under the influence of an expansive ridge of high pressure, temperatures have exceeded 80 degrees each of the last four days, with several close-calls for record highs in many Front Range cities. For the week ahead, we’ll see a brief cool down and spurts of Mountain snow, but revert to boring summer-like weather before the weekend.

The Denver area had a great weekend with temperatures above normal. The week ahead starts out warm, but takes a quick dip midweek to more seasonally appropriate weather. In the High Country, rain and snow will be possible at times, but over the Plains, mostly dry conditions will dominate. Read on for our full weekly forecast.

After two straight weeks of mostly sunny and warm conditions, the week ahead will feature quintessential Colorado fall weather. With the passage of two cold fronts, we’ll transition from the 80’s early in the week, through wind, rain and cold…to the potential for snowflakes by week’s end.

After a cool and “autumn-like” weekend, this week will feature milder temperatures and lots of sunshine, at least through midweek. A fly in the ointment will be a weak system approaching from Baja California which will increase clouds and lead to the chance of isolated rain or storms late in the week. These should be confined mainly to the mountainous areas, however. Read on for our full weekly forecast to end the month of September!

Dry weather has prevailed across northeast Colorado for the last several days, with temperatures moderating from the 60’s to near 90 degrees. This trend continues through much of this week’s forecast as a flat upper-ridge dominates our weather. However, the team-up of a potent trough and the remnants of Tropical Storm Paine will bring chances for rain just in time for the weekend. Read on for our complete weekly forecast.

After a warm final day to the weekend, one which Boulder set a record high at 92 degrees, this week is slated to turn much cooler starting this afternoon. Temperatures will be coolest on Tuesday with highs below seasonal norms and overnight lows falling Tuesday night likely into the lower 40’s on the Plains. This is all in response to a strong cold front pushing south from Wyoming. With the front also comes the chance of rain and storms but these look to be hit or miss through the week.
