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

A storm will split apart as it moves from north to south through the Interior West, resulting in only light snowfall for the Northern Rockies. The western part of the split storm will develop into a cutoff low as it moves toward the Great Basin, and snowfall from this feature will favor Northern Colorado, and to a lesser extent, Utah and California.

In the East, lake effect snow showers will continue across Michigan, Ontario, and Western New York, with perhaps a little bit of this action sneaking into the Mid-Atlantic.

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

In the West, a cutoff low will spin across the Southwest with snow favoring Southern California, Northern Arizona, and Southwest Utah. The Pacific Northwest will remain in an extended dry spell, while storms will continue to slam Alaska on a regular basis.

In the East, a stronger storm will move across the Northern Great Lakes. In addition to the typical lake effect favored zones, Upstate New York, Northern New England, and Quebec will pick up a bit of snow from this storm as well.

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

The storm over the Southwest will slowly work its way eastward, and while there is a lot of uncertainty with the movement and track of this storm, the Southern Rockies could potentially see some good snow out of it.

To the north, a storm will bring snow to Alaska and eventually Western BC as a stubborn high pressure ridge finally starts to break down over the Northeast Pacific.

Storms will continue to track across the Northern Great Lakes and New England with more snow expected.

Outlook for Thu (Jan 30) to Mon (Feb 3):

Confidence is growing that a more active pattern will develop across the West with at least one storm for the Northwest and Northern Rockies, while the Sierra and the Central Rockies could potentially see some action on the southern fringe of the favored storm track.

The big story in the East will be a transition to milder temperatures after weeks of sustained cold, but an active storm track is also expected with snow potential for the Northeast and Northern Mid-Atlantic. 

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