Daily Snow Forecasts

Chase Powder
Get Ready! 12-18 inches for many areas of the west.
Updated 17 hours ago Powderchaser Steve
Teasers will be the main story early this week with light snow falling from the Cascades, Sierra, and northern Rockies early this week. Much larger and colder system will slam into the PNW late week and bring much needed snow to the Rockies and perhaps the Sierra.
US and Canada
Active pattern developing out West
Updated 18 hours ago Alan Smith
Much-needed snowfall is on the way out West this week as a more active pattern takes hold with frequent storms. Early week storms will favor the Northwest, while a strong storm will favor areas farther south later this week, including California, Utah, and Colorado. This weekend and early next week, the pattern will favor the West Coast with heavy snow possible for the Cascades and Sierra.
Colorado
Weak storm on Tuesday, strong storm on Friday
Updated 18 hours ago Joel Gratz
Monday will be dry for most of the day. From Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon, a weak storm will bring 2-6 inches of snow to most mountains with up to 8"+ in spots. Wednesday will be mostly dry. Then from Thursday morning through Friday night, a strong storm should deliver decent snow totals to most mountains with 10-20"+ for some spots.
