No white Christmas in Fort Collins, but here’s when Northern Colorado could get snow
Large elk herd congregates in Loveland in winter
Around 1,000 elk migrate in winter from the Estes Valley to the west side of Loveland, creating a unique wildlife viewing opportunity.
It’s looking to be a warm and dry Christmas in Fort Collins, but there may be a glimpse of winter weather ahead.
Fort Collins is in for a sunny Christmas Eve with an expected high of 54 degrees, with clouds and light wind forecasted heading into the evening and an overnight low of 27, according to the National Weather Service. Christmas Day will likely be much of the same, with some clouds, a high of 50 and low of 24 expected.
After another warmer day Thursday with a high of 50 degrees, we could get a glimpse at some winter weather Thursday night. There is a slight chance of rain after 11 p.m. that could mix with snow after 1 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. The chance of precipitation Thursday is 20%.
After another warmer weekend — with a high near 47 degrees expected Friday, 54 on Saturday and 57 on Sunday — there’s another chance of rain and snow accompanied by wind Monday, according to the National Weather Service, despite the high temperature Monday expected to be near 52 degrees.
Colorado’s mountains have a much better chance of a white Christmas, with 1 to 3 inches of snow expected around the holidays.
