This Week in Colorado Weather: Is Late‑Season Snow Back in the Conversation? ❄️🌸
Yes, but there's a fiery catch 🔥
Here's the latest on an active week of mid-April weather headed for the Front Range: bouldercast.com/this-week-in... #COWx #Denver #Colorado
Decent little cell moving through Arvada and Thornton area now. More wind than rain with this one #cowx
Sadly a Superior woman was struck by one of these bolts. Thoughts and prayers ...

Fact: Baby turtles are the best turtles 🐢
Beautiful contrail-laden cirrus streaming in from the southwest this morning 🌄
Clouds will thicken rapidly by early afternoon with scattered showers and storms around through sunset ⛈️ #cowx
5:30PM: First thunderstorm of 2026 in Boulder 😊 ⛈️
Broomfield is next. #cowx
Isolated to widely scattered showers will be around through the afternoon and evening. Brief light to moderate rain, gusty winds to 40 MPH and a rogue rumble of thunder will be possible anywhere in the Metro area #cowx
Going to be an above average fire year for sure, possibly catastrophic for much of the West considering the population boom and potentially hyperactive monsoon.
This Weekend in Colorado Weather: Daily chances for spotty April showers, but they won’t amount to much. Always the bridesmaid. Never the bride☔️☹️
This and more in our latest *Premium* weekend outlook: bouldercast.com/this-weekend... #cowx #Colorado #denver #Boulder

😎 NE of this front: 55-63°, gusty, fire risk low.

📉 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
Wednesday Weather: Near-critical fire danger ahead of a cold front, rain chances tick up late-week, and is that snow in the extended?

This Week in Colorado Weather: Warm temperatures accompany early April showers 🥵☔️
Warm, rain showers, fire danger and frost. We break down what to expect, and what not to count on, in our latest Front Range weather weekly outlook: bouldercast.com/this-week-in... #COWx #Coorado
Hoppy Easter... Enjoy the sunny day! 🌞 #cowx
Apparently 90% of meteorologists think it is absolutely hilarious to spread around fake snowfall maps for April Fools. We don't participate in such shenanigans, though none of you would have believed it anyway given how Colorado's snow season has unfolded so far. #cowx

Debating leaving this unfixed, but will April have the same problems....? #COWX #GreatMarch2026Heatwave
Let's just say the unprecedented nature of the warmth has exposed numerous shortcomings in our monthly review visualization code. It cannot handle record highs being obliterated by 10F+, more than 6 daily record highs being set in a month, or monthly temp departures in the double digits... #COwx
Wednesday's precip totals. Mostly less than 0.15". Highest south/west. Lowest north (sorry Longmontians) #cowx
Thanks for your report. Just glad we got some rain last evening. It was our best chance to see any moisture this week.
Skies will quickly clear Thursday morning with highs zooming into the lower 70s this afternoon. Gusty winds will create elevated fire danger, despite the lack of Red Flag Warnings.
Another cold front comes through Thursday night with a cooler blustery Friday expected.
Localized very dense fog this morning across portions of the Metro area creating tough travel following Wednesday's rain (like near the Boulder Airport), with sunshine elsewhere. The Mountains picked up a few inches of new snow, including just shy of 2" at Eldora.
Looks like mostly 0.05-0.15" for the area.
Wettest day in more than two weeks
Now that is some rain! Saving this radar for the memories... #cowx
