There will be snow this weekend, and this is a quick update to share that the most likely area of snowfall will be north of I-70 around Steamboat, Cameron Pass, and maybe Eldora.

A storm system moving from east to west slides under the ridge, impacting the Rockies and a few areas of the Sierra by the weekend. This system gets pushed south under the ridge and stalls over Arizona early to mid-next week. Some significant totals are possible in the SW next week where the low will stall.

Arctic air has overspread most of the country early this week with cold and dry conditions for many areas while the Great Lakes have seen lake effect snow. The Gulf Coast also saw record snowfall on Tuesday! A relatively weak storm will move into the West late this week and over the weekend with snow expected for parts of the Rockies, California, and Southwest.

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.
