NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE-After some areas of the Sierra reaped up to 30 inches (Northern sections of the Crest) Utah just nabbed 20 plus inches in 12 hours. Colorado is playing catch up with another wave approaching California Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday. A northern branch is going to impact Montana Tuesday/Wednesday with heavy snow and tease the Tetons. The 4 corners look deep later this week!

No April fools' jokes, just a classic early April system for Wednesday that will bring a wide variety of conditions.

An active week of weather will start with an atmospheric river bringing heavy snow to the Sierra and good powder into the Central Rockies. The Northwest will see light snow as well. A storm will become semi-stationary in the West at the end of the week with more snow in the Rockies through the Southwest. In the East, active storms will track north with snow to the north and rain to the south.
