Bitter cold temperatures blast the Rockies this weekend, with moisture most prevalent on the eastern Divide. Higher moisture totals might land in Colorado near the Front Range by Saturday morning. The extended forecast looks optimistic for a pattern change possible by January 25th.

The pattern over the next 10+ days is looking quite dry across Southern BC as a ridge of high pressure will be prevalent across Western North America. The one exception this week will be on Thursday when light snow develops as an arctic front moves through. Frigid air will settle into place behind the front before moderating next week.
