Snow reports are dripping in like molasses in a normal January (not a 2026 Colorado January)... #COwx

Perhaps some good news for tonight. Slight upward trend noted in forecast minimum temps for the lower elevations. Now looks like we'll bottom out 24-29° instead of 19-24°F like it looked previously. Still likely a hard freeze for most, but it will be gentler on some plants #COWX

Interesting early-period midnight high today (56°) with a rare midday low (30°), though that will surely get erased this evening after the sun goes down and skies clear.... #COWX

Snow has stopped and the sun is peaking through. Final total: 3.3" #cowx

WOW, what a 24-hour temperature change! From the middle 70s Thursday afternoon (and fire risk) to lower 30s and snow Friday afternoon!

Some snowy Colorado scenes from this afternoon --> bouldercast.com/boulder-webc... #Colorado #COwx #Denver #Snow

2PM: The middle of the beginning of the end. The back edge of the snow coming in hot from northwest to southeast 👎 Bets on how quickly the sun will be out? 🌞 #cowx

1:45PM: Already a tad past the forecast at 3.1" on elevated surface.. #cowx

The beginning of the end. Drier, downslope flow working into western Boulder and Larimer Counties over the Divide. It was fun while it lasted! #COWX

Just another day in Colorado weather 🙃 #Cowx #Colorado #Denver #snow

Pretty wild that we could end up having a sunny morning and sunshine again before sunset, with a wallop of wet snow sandwiched in between for ~6 hours. If things don't dry off before sundown, we could be looking at a nasty flash freeze this evening and night #Cowx #Colorado

12:45PM: Current temps of 27 to 33° in the Denver-Boulder area. Temperatures have dropped enough that snow is sticking on some roadways in the colder spots within heavier snow bands. #Cowx

12:30PM: 2.2" on the elevated snow table at 5550 feet. 30 degrees. Moderate snow. Blustery with wind chill of 24 degrees. #cowx

12:20PM: Impressive snowfall rates occurring within a big band along the mid-level front. Everyone is getting a sloppy spring snow, at least for a couple hours. This band will continue to slide southeast, with snow ending for most of the Metro between 3 and 5PM #COwx #Denver #Colorado

CU East Campus turning white ☃️ #cowx #boulder #cuboulder

Wet spring snow #Cowx #Boulderwx #Boulder

After more than a month snow has finally returned to the Boulder-Denver area! 😁 #cowx

11:20AM: Down to 31° (brr!) with steady moderate to heavy snow falling across much of the area now. Low-level winds showing anti-cyclonic upslope feeding directly into the Foothills from Boulder southward. This will be the area to watch for enhanced snowfall through afternoon #COWX

9AM UPDATE: Snow bands are starting to come over the Continental Divide and will be moving in Boulder very soon and then Denver within 1-2 hours. Could be a few rain drops initially, but a quick change-over to wet snow is expected as very cold -10°C air filter in aloft from the NNW. #COwx

FRIDAY 7:00AM UPDATE: SO...WHERE'S THE SNOW? ❄️ It looks like another beautiful morning in Colorado out there, but don't be fooled.. Snow is not far off. The initial surface cold front moved through right on schedule jus after midnight. However, upper-level energy and cold air is still moving in

🚩 There has been 15 Red Flag days in Boulder already in 2026, way beyond a typical full calendar year where we average 7...and we still have 8.5 months to go! #COWX #Boulderwx

Winter Park reporting 10 inches with light snow still falling Wednesday morning! #COWX #COsnow

One-two punch of snow & cold continues to look like a safe bet for the Front Range Friday. ⏰ Friday AM into late Friday evening. 📏 1-3" Denver, 2-4" Boulder, 3-7" Foothills (PRELIMINARY) ‼️ Travel/tree impacts limited due to daylight timing. 🥶 Hard freeze Friday night (18-26°) #COwx #colorado

Very cold air coming in with Friday's system, falling below -10°C at 700mb Friday PM. If we can manage some precip, which appears highly likely, it will be mostly falling as wet snow everywhere. Daytime timing will temper impacts, but plan for a return of the white stuff! ☃️ #COwx #denver

Tight mid-level low is now located near Moab in Utah with scattered showers and thunderstorms across much of Colorado. The low will pass almost directly over Denver this evening. We could be in for a dreary next few hours into early evening (light rain, maybe a few booms) #COWX

❄️2 to 5 inches of snow has fallen in the high Mountains west of Denver already Tuesday morning. This is A-Basin. Snow will continue into the evening, heavy at times, and possibly containing a few lightning strikes. Some areas may pile up a foot of snow from this quick-moving spring storm! #COwx

Starting to look like spring out there. Well, somewhat. #COWX #Boulderwx

📉 Boulder has now fallen 50 inches below normal snowfall season-to-date. Denver is now 25 inches below normal. #COwx #YearWithoutWinter #colorado #COsnow

Per Boulder Fire Rescue: "The #GoatTrailFire is 75% contained. There is hose around the fire and crews will be on site continuing to mop up throughout the day. A water drop from air support was expected at 8 a.m. but was cancelled due to lack of need." #COfire #Boulder

The approximate burn area from the #GoatTrailFire west of Boulder this morning. Very little to no smoke at this point. Hopefully will be contained soon as fire weather conditions will worsen by late morning into the afternoon. #COWX #COfire #Boulder
