Partly sunny with some clouds on Wednesday. Quick snowstorm on Thursday. A break Friday with more rain and snow Friday night into Saturday night. A break on Sunday. A final weak system is possible for Monday. A drier pattern is possible starting Tuesday the 17th.

The West will see some welcome snow late this week and into the weekend after a drier start to December. A weak storm will move through on Thursday followed by a stronger storm Friday-Sunday. The Sierra (including Tahoe), Cascades, BC, and Northern Rockies will be favored for the deepest snow totals. The East will see rain & some snow Wed-Thu & again early next week with a warmer airmass in place.

We will stay high and dry through the middle of the month. Temps will be mild and mixed in with some gusty winds. By the middle of the month our chances for precip go up, but the odds of anything meaningful is still too far out to say.

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.
