High Plains ...
I live in upper north east Wyoming ... Last year was said to be a milder winter .. Which it was until 2019 hit then it was brutal , we had almost 30 days of below freezing and heavy snow . I guess my point i'm trying to make is expect the worst and hope for the best .
Where can I find Oct. 2019 for high plains?
The website says 60 days forecast but it’s giving this month (Aug) which has already taken place, and next month (sept). Then long term skips October completely, which is only 32 days from now, and starts with November. I’m specifically looking for first weekend in October for Ft Collins, Colorado and I’ve checked back every week for all of Aug and still nothing for Oct.

Vail Wedding Weather

Spring in the Rockies
While precipitation is always hard to predict this far out, you can be certain that March in the Rockies (Vail) will most likely be cold. If the sun is out, the winds down day temps could maybe rise into the upper 30s, nights will still be very cold. That is a very typical early spring day in Colorado Rockies. In the foothills and plains, eastern Colorado day temps could rise into the upper 40s, night’s still very cold. Not to say we haven’t had surprise warm days, typically March is still quite cool in the mountains. To share with you a scenario -I just got married in June of this year in Colorado Springs (foothills) and had we waited one day our outdoor wedding would have been on a surprisingly cold day for June and a wreck. So be prepared for cold and even possibly snow as Spring is our wettest season. I hope this helps. Not a meteorologist, just long time resident. Good luck with your wedding.
