Forecast for Fri (Jan 10) to Sat (Jan 11):
Snow will fall across the Northwest and Northern Rockies on Friday before moving into the Central Rockies on Friday night and Saturday. To the north, heavy snow will also fall in Alaska.
Snow will move into the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic on Friday and Friday night, with lighter lingering snow showers for West Virginia and Pennsylvania on Saturday. New England will catch some light snow showers on the northern fringe of this system.
Forecast for Sun (Jan 12) to Mon (Jan 13):
A weak disturbance will bring some light snow showers and flurries to parts of the Rockies, but accumulations will be minimal in most areas except for eastern ranges in Montana and Wyoming where higher snow totals are expected.
A storm will bring snow to the Northern Great Lakes, favoring Michigan and Ontario, with light snow showers developing over the higher terrain of New England and West Virginia.
Forecast for Tue (Jan 14) to Wed (Jan 15):
Most of the West will experience a dry pattern as a ridge of high pressure takes control. On the northern periphery of the ridge, a storm will bring snow to Northern British Columbia.
The East will see a cold and unsettled northwest flow pattern with snow showers for New England, the Eastern Great Lakes, and higher terrain of the Mid-Atlantic.
Extended Forecast
Outlook for Thu (Jan 16) to Mon (Jan 20):
A ridge of high pressure will remain near the West Coast but will shift far enough west to open the door for cold air to spill into the Western U.S. and Canada. We could also see some storms sneak in from the northwest, which would favor the Rockies and possibly the Northern Cascades.
The East will remain in an active pattern with northwest flow snow showers favored early in the period, while there are some hints of a possible storm heading into the weekend of January 18th-19th.
Thanks so much for reading! Next update on Monday (January 13).
