I believe this will be the last great weekend for fresh powder this year. This update is to encourage you to make the most of it. Resorts across the state reported decent snowfall last night, so let's take a look at those numbers! We will also discuss the short-term forecast and review our snowpack levels throughout the state.

The Cottonwoods and areas of Park City, Parleys Summit, grabbed cold air and the perfect NW winds that cranked out impressive totals. 2 Feet fell in the Cottonwoods. Moisture streamed into Colorado favoring the resorts from Telluride to Steamboat with leftovers stretching east over the I-70 corridor. Cascades fire next.

Two more storms will impact the West from Wednesday to Saturday with snow favoring the Northwest and the Rockies, and snow conditions will remain excellent. A significant warming trend will begin on Sunday, however. In the East, snow is in the forecast for New England this weekend and early 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.
