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.

Cold on Monday and Tuesday. Warmer and sunny Wednesday and Thursday. Our next round of snow will arrive on Friday night and likely deliver low-end powder conditions through Sunday. Cold and mostly dry weather returns during the week of January 20.

Sunday was a fluffy day at Steamboat (pics in the post)! Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday will be mostly dry and cold, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be dry and warmer, and then on Saturday, the next storm will bring very cold air, snow, and potentially deep totals near and east of the divide.

A series of weaker storms will track across the Great Lakes and Northeast this week, resulting in consistent snow showers that will add up to sneaky good totals over time from Michigan to Vermont. The West will enter a dry period overall, with light snow for the Rockies expected at the end of the week as an arctic cold front moves through.

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.
