Chases might be decent in the PNW and Canada this weekend, with moisture decaying as it moves into Idaho/Montana and Colorado by Sunday. Warm air initially in the PNW will push snow levels very high, followed by a strong cold front on Saturday. Deep snow is possible in the PNW or summits in BC.

A potent system has delivered significant lake effect snow once again, which should lead to some powder stashes over the coming days as resorts open for the season. A strong snowmaking push on Thursday and Friday should open more terrain for the weekend, too! This weekend will feel like spring, with highs in the 30s and 40s for much of the region.

A favorable pattern will remain in place across the East with cold temperatures, and a storm will also bring widespread moderate snow to New England. A storm will move into the West over the weekend and into early next week with snow favoring the Northwest and the Rockies, though some parts of the Northwest will see predominantly rain with warmer air in place.
