Five-Day Snow Forecast:

The Northwest is about to see a break in the pattern, while a slow-moving cut-off low will set up shop over the Southwest, resulting in deep snow totals for the Colorado Front Range, San Juan Range, Sangre de Christo Range, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern Utah. Cut-off lows are notoriously difficult to pin down, so the forecast deepest totals across the Southwest this weekend are subject to change. 

Forecast for Wed (Mar 13) to Thu (Mar 14):

A storm will set up over Colorado with easterly upslope winds favoring deep snow totals over the Front Range along and east of the Continental Divide with lighter snow west of the Divide. A storm will also impact Southeast Alaska with heavy snow expected.

Forecast for Fri (Mar 15) to Sat (Mar 16):

The storm over the West will slowly work its way southward with the focus of heavy snowfall shifting into Southwest Colorado, Southern Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. Alaska will continue to be hit with heavy snow as well, while a storm will bring rain to most of the East with a change-over to snow possible across the higher terrain of New England on Saturday.

Forecast for Sun (Mar 17) to Mon (Mar 18):

The storm will linger over the Southwest and gradually weaken over time, with additional snow showers remaining possible across Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Utah, and Southern Colorado. More snow can be expected in Southeast Alaska while a storm will move across the Northeast with precipitation starting as rain, and then changing to snow across the Great Lakes and Northern New England. 

Outlook for Tue (Mar 19) to Sat (Mar 23):

Warm and dry conditions will prevail near the West Coast, while a few storms could sneak into the Northern Rockies (favoring Alberta and Montana) as high pressure begins to weaken. A colder airmass will be in place across the East with snow showers possible across the Great Lakes and Northern New England.

Thanks so much for reading! Next update on Friday (March 15).
