This Week in Colorado Weather: February 9, 2026

February 9, 2026 / Ben Castellani / 0 Comments

After weeks of spring-like warmth and quiet skies, the atmosphere is finally showing signs of waking up in the West. While drought continues to tighten its grip and Colorado’s snowpack sits at historic lows, things are beginning to stir, subtly at first, but with hints of something more promising on the horizon. This week brings our warmest day yet with Monday approaching 70 degrees, then a quick cooldown Tuesday, and finally the return of Mountain snow midweek courtesy of a weak atmospheric river. It’s not the pattern shift we need just yet, but it’s the most active stretch we’ve seen in a while… and it may be the first step toward rebuilding what winter has failed to deliver so far in the High Country. Let’s dig in.

February 5, 2026 / BoulderCAST Team / 0 Comments

January 2026 wrapped up feeling more like an early taste of spring than the heart of winter along the Front Range, with warm spells, frequent downslope winds, and only fleeting brushes with snow. Boulder spent much of the month running well above normal, dodging storm after storm as the real winter weather stayed locked in the Mountains and across the eastern half of the country. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.

February isn’t wasting any time showing us who’s in charge along the Front Range—and spoiler alert, it’s not winter. As we roll into Groundhog Day and beyond, the pattern overhead keeps leaning warm, quiet, and stubbornly snow‑stingy. A weak system will try to shake things up Tuesday night, but the bigger story is how quickly we bounce back into springlike warmth and how the broader West continues to miss out on meaningful moisture. If you’re wondering where the real winter weather is hiding, or if Colorado has any chance of breaking its dry streak, read on for all the details.
