Rockies Storm Update:

A storm working its way from north to south brought snow to parts of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah on Thanksgiving Day with snow then spreading into Colorado overnight. As the storm continues its journey south, the focus of snowfall will shift into Central/Southern Colorado and New Mexico with the San Juan Range in line for the deepest totals. 

Forecast for Fri (Nov 24) to Sat (Nov 25):

Snow will continue across the Southern Rockies on Friday and Saturday while the Northern Rockies and West Coast will be dry. Further north, another storm will impact the Chugach Mountains in Alaska. In the East, a weak disturbance will bring light snow showers to New England.

Forecast for Sun (Nov 26) to Mon (Nov 27):

A storm will move across the East, bringing lake-enhanced snow showers to Michigan and snow and mixed precipitation to New England. Higher terrain in the Mid-Atlantic will also see light snow showers develop on the backside of this storm. Most of the West will stay quiet during this period, except for Alaska where heavy snow will continue to fall.

Forecast for Tue (Nov 28) to Wed (Nov 29):

Additional disturbances are expected to bring snow showers to the Great Lakes and New England, while most of the West will stay dry. Once again, snow will continue to fall across the coastal ranges in Southeast Alaska. 

Outlook for Thu (Nov 30) to Mon (Dec 4):

High pressure will break down across the West heading into early December, and this will open the door for storms to reach the West Coast. A split flow pattern is currently expected with storms favoring the Pacific Northwest, while the Southwest/Four Corners region could also see a storm.

An active pattern will also continue across the Northeast with additional chances of snow.

Thanks so much for reading! Next update on Monday (November 27).
