Late season cold snap with significant mountain snow

Summary

Warm and relatively quiet conditions have been present across much of the West early this week. However, big changes are on the way as a cold storm system impacts the Northwest Wed-Thu, before deepening over the Central Rockies Friday with heavy snow for the CO Front Range foothills down to 6,000 ft. Meanwhile, wildfires continue to impact New Mexico with little relief in sight.
