More snow showers Friday night into Friday night, with heavier snow Saturday, and snow showers waning Saturday night.. A break on Sunday. A final weak system is expected to bring light rain & snow showers on Monday. A drier pattern is expected from the 17th - 20th. A weak system is possible around the 21st - 22nd. Another weak system or two are possible before the end of the month.

There might not be any perfect chase based on winds, temperatures, or deepness. The deepest totals will fall in the central and northern Sierras, followed by south coastal BC near Whistler. Wind and temperature swings could cause issues. The North Rockies look better for less wind and colder temps with 8-16 inches.

A storm remains on track for the West from Friday to Sunday with the deepest snow totals favoring the Sierra, Cascades, BC Coast Range, and Northern Rockies. A weaker storm will move across the West early next week, followed by a warming/drying trend through Christmas. The East will see a mild pattern with more rain than snow through early next week, followed by a colder pattern late next week.

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.
