There will be two chances for snow during the middle of September. The first chance will be from Monday, September 16 to Tuesday, September 17, and the second chance will be around Saturday, September 21 to Sunday, September 22. During both storms, snow should be mostly confined to the higher elevations. Otherwise, fall color is starting to show, with an average peak during late September.

Thanks for reading this summer! For the rest of this week, a cold front moving across the Central Rockies will bring showers & t-storms to WY, CO, & NM Wed-Thu while the West Coast states will see a late-season heat wave. Next week, isolated to scattered showers & t-storms develop across the West with continued mild temps. Heading into mid-month, the PNW will trend wetter and cooler.

Spring skiing conditions have prevailed across much of the West over the past several days. However, an active pattern will develop during the final days of April with the potential for late-season "powder" days at ski resorts that are still open. New snowfall will be on the denser side and snow will largely be confined to mid to high elevations.
