Frequent storms to impact the West over the next 7 days

An active late season pattern is setting up across Western North America starting this weekend and continuing through much of next week. Most mountain ranges and ski regions will pick up significant snow totals at some point during this pattern, and a few regions will be hit by multiple storms. Check out the projected snow totals across the West over the next 7 days.

Forecast for Fri, Mar 19 – Sat, Mar 20

A storm will impact the Far West on Friday with snow falling from British Columbia to California, while Idaho will start to get in on the action later in the day. Snow will then pick up across Montana, Wyoming, and Utah on Friday night and Saturday as the storm moves inland

Forecast for Sun, Mar 21 – Mon, Mar 22

The focus of snow from the storm impacting the Rockies will shift south into Colorado and New Mexico on Sunday and Monday. Meanwhile, the next storm will bring more snow to British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest on Sunday and Monday with seasonally low snow levels expected.

Forecast for Tue, Mar 23 – Wed, Mar 24

Rinse and repeat. The Central and Southern Rockies will get in on the action with more snow arriving on Tuesday and Wednesday, though confidence is low on the storm track and which regions of Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico will end up being more favored. Another storm is expected across British Columbia on Tuesday and Wednesday with snow extending into the Northern Washington Cascades as well.

Outlook for Thu, Mar 25 – Mon, Mar 29

A northwest flow storm track will favor the Rockies for more snow during the early portion of this period, then the pattern should take a break for a few days across the West. The East will remain in a quiet pattern with little in the way of snow chances expected.
