A warm front will raise snow levels initially in the Pacific Northwest, with rain likely on Friday, changing to all snow on Saturday/Sunday. Canada stays a bit cooler with better chase options. Snow trickles into the Rockies late this weekend, favoring the northern areas before fizzling over Colorado by Sunday/Monday.

Our dry spell will end this week, with a period of clear liquids falling from the sky. As temperatures drop, we'll transition to snow this weekend, with decent accumulations through Sunday. Additional storms are expected next week, but with the storm track dipping farther south, most of the precipitation will be light to moderate, and accumulations will not be overly impressive.

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.

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.
