An active pattern is underway across the PNW with light to moderate snow totals reported at most areas over the past 48 hours. A storm on Sunday will favor Oregon for the deepest totals. On Monday, Mt. Baker and the N Cascades will see mod/heavy snow on the southern edge of a storm impacting BC. On Tuesday, a stronger storm will move across the PNW with mod/heavy snow totals expected throughout.

A weak storm should bring 1-3" to most mountains late Monday into Tuesday. Another light dusting of snow could swing through on Thursday. We then look to February 13-15 for what will hopefully be a much better storm.

Snow showers continue through Sunday afternoon before winding down by Sunday evening. A drier pattern is expected starting Monday through at least Friday. A storm dropping down the coast may or may not be close enough to bring rain & snow to the Sierra Saturday into Sunday the 12th. A more active pattern could continue through the 3rd week of February.

Snow will pick up late this morning (Sunday) and will fall heavily through this afternoon across the Wasatch mountains of northern Utah. Snow will work its way south this evening with snow in southern Utah as well. Snow showers will continue on Monday in a northwest flow. Dry and cool weather returns for later this week.

Partly sunny and warmer on Sunday. Snow returns Sunday night and continues through Monday. Dry on Tuesday and into Wednesday. More snow on Wednesday night and very cold on Thursday. Dry from Friday through next Sunday ahead of more snow from February 13-17.

The week ahead promises to bring milder temperatures and a few rounds of rain and snow. The first arrives Monday into Tuesday with the second arriving Thursday into Friday. Some hints of a little bit colder air possible this upcoming weekend but nothing arctic, perhaps cold enough for some light lake effect snow.

Temperatures will generally warm into the 30s this week with light snow or rain possible on Sunday night, Tuesday night, and a mix on Thursday night. A large amount of uncertainty exists as to whether or not we get a coastal storm next weekend.

Sunday will be sunny and warm, then snow will fall on Sunday night with some powder on Monday morning.

Sunday will be dry and warm, then a storm on Sunday night will deliver 3-6+ inches of snow in time for Monday morning with snow showers lingering on Monday. After that, Tuesday and most of Wednesday will be dry, then the next storm will bring 3-6 inches of snow from late Wednesday into Thursday morning. And after that, we should see another storm during the middle of the following week.

Have a couple nice storms coming in tomorrow and Tuesday night. We should get solid totals out of both storms with the storm tomorrow being the largest. Let's take a look!

The heaviest snow has ended for the Austrian Alps, but the Salzburg and Tyrol areas got buried. A few more chances for snow during the next week, focusing a bit farther west/south, and in the long range just some chances for light snow.

A light snow storm brought 2-3" to Schweitzer and Silver on Saturday, and Lookout skiers/riders got a 7" bonus *pow* day. Forecasts are holding steady for the next storm coming Sat PM/Sun for 5-10" of snow at Bogus Basin, Brundage, Tamarack, Sun Valley, Pomerelle and Pebble Creek, while N. Idaho ski areas are expected to get 2-6". Statewide refresher. The storm comes in with a favorable SW flow.

After a mild and sunny Saturday we get a quick hitting chance for a dusting to an inch of snow this Sunday. The remainder of next week still looks quite dry and will turn more mild by the end of it. But the pattern is forecasted to change to more active weather by the 3rd week of February...

Resorts along the Divide, mainly Sunshine and Castle, picked up around 10cm of fresh on Sat AM as a weak shortwave pushed through. A mix of sun and cloud on Sat before clouds increase on Sun with some isolated flurries, mainly along the Divide. Mon and Tues look to be somewhat unsettled with daily trace amounts possible. By early Weds a deepening trough brings chances of moderate accumulations.

The sun is out on Saturday before a colder, windy, and snowy 18 - 24 hour time period arrives for Saturday night into Sunday. After the moderate snow storm rolls through we'll have dry and milder weather all of next week. The pattern is likely to change going into the 3rd week of February with more snow...

Flurries are possible on Sat, but overall dry conditions will persist through about midday Sunday. The next storm remains on track to impact the Tetons from Sun PM thru Monday and the storm has trended a bit stronger. Mon AM will be the best time to ski fresh powder and I would keep an eye on Targhee for backside snow showers on Mon. A weak/mod storm is likely Wed Feb 8, then we dry out for a bit.

It's chase time. Snow will be falling heavily in the Sierra late Saturday to Sunday evening. The Rockies squeeze out good leftovers from Sunday to Monday. A cold storm is due for the PNW next week. New England is cold and dry.

Snow showers will continue across Southern BC this weekend with light to moderate snow totals adding up. A stronger storm will then impact Southern BC from Monday to Wednesday with deep totals expected across both the Coast Range and the Interior. Northern BC will continue to see the snow stack up this weekend as well, then will be right on the northern fringe of the Mon-Wed storm.

Resorts in New York have done well with lake effect snow bands on Friday and will continue until Saturday morning. Skiers and riders are getting after it despite the bone-chilling cold. This area of arctic air will continue to be here Saturday, with a substantial warming trend on Sunday, that will stay for next week. Let’s break it all down…

Our next storm system, a Pacific shortwave delivered via a zonal flow Fri night will affect areas west of the Divide, spreading light accumulations across and north of the I-90 corridor into Sat AM. Next up, a stronger wave Sun into Mon looks to bring widespread accumulations mainly south of the I-90 corridor (both sides of the Divide). SW MT, Big Sky and Bridger could see 3 – 6” thru Monday.

The storm track will favor BC over the next seven days with deep totals adding up for many areas. A storm will also dip southward into the Western U.S. on Sunday & Monday with heavy snow for the Sierra and parts of the PNW and light to moderate snow for the Rockies. New England will see an arctic blast on Friday with frigid temps followed by warmer air next week but snowfall will be light.

Gradual warming is set to continue into a pleasant first weekend of February. It won't last as next week turns unsettled.

A significant late-season heatwave will persist across the West throughout the holiday weekend before eventually relenting mid to late next week. Daily record highs are likely across much of the West and some areas will break Sept monthly records as well. Smoky conditions have also become more widespread across the Northwest & Northern Rockies. Cooler temps will finally arrive late next week.
