Snow is falling over the Colorado mountains Friday morning, favoring the eastern Divide resorts as forecasted. Montana has grabbed 15-20 inches near Red Lodge in the past seven days (it is Open today). Utah grabbed 7 inches of wet snow Thursday, followed by some cold blow on Friday morning.

High-pressure will bring dry skies and a slight warm-up Fri through Sat AM. Around midday on Sat, a cut-off low pushes into the AB Rockies out of the N/NW, creating widespread instability. As this low pushes southward on Sun and Mon, it will draw colder air from the E/NE, creating periods of upslope snowfall. Sunshine, Norquay, and Nakiska could see up to 25 cm add up by Mon PM.

A storm remains on track for the Rockies late this week with heavy snow expected in the Thursday to Saturday timeframe. A weaker storm will bring more snow to the Northwest and Northern Rockies this weekend and early next week. New England will see warmer temperatures with occasional rain.
