Cold and dry conditions will prevail from Sun to Wed, with the only exception being a weak disturbance that could bring some flurries to the Interior on Tue. The next real chance of snow will be on Thu as a storm slides in from the NW but it's looking like a minor event for most areas (Revy & KH favored more). After that, it looks like we will dry out yet again, possibly through the end of Jan.

The next storm is on our doorstep with cold air and decent snowfall totals for the Front Range. Utah is a wildcard in the Cottonwoods for lake enhancement in the Cottonwoods. The long-range has higher confidence of double digits for the PNW and Northern Rockies, with the Sierra on watch (January 27-20)

The big story this weekend will be arctic air overspreading much of the Lower 48. The large-scale pattern will continue to favor drier conditions across the West with only some light snow for the Rockies, while the East will be more active. Two storms will move across the East over the next 3 days, while the South could see snow next week. The Great Lakes will also see consistent snow showers.
