Denver is currently not guaranteed to snow imminently. Based on recent forecasts and local updates, the first measurable snow in Denver is likely to arrive later in November or into December, with forecasts suggesting a higher chance of snow around mid to late November, and more reliable snowfall potential in December. However, specifics can shift with changing weather systems, so keep an eye on short-term forecasts for the next 1–7 days and the NWS Denver/Boulder updates for the latest first-snow timing. What to watch for
- Temperature trends: First measurable snow typically requires subfreezing temps combined with moisture.
- Weather systems: A few weak disturbances in the mountains can sometimes bring light snow to the metro area; bigger systems are more likely to deliver noticeable snowfall.
- Local forecasts: Denver-area news outlets and the National Weather Service often publish “first snow” notes as winter approaches, with provisional dates based on current model trends.
