All eyes on Hurricane Ian, warm but unsettled out West
Updated 8 hours ago Alan Smith
Hurricane Ian is set to make landfall in Western Florida on Wed as a major hurricane. As this storm slowly moves north, it will bring heavy rains & gusty winds to the Southern Appalachians Fri to Mon. The West has been very warm recently, but a slow-moving storm will bring showers, t-storms, & a little bit of high elevation snow to the PNW & Rockies over the next several days.

Updated 2 days ago Joel Gratz
The forecast for rain around Sep 20-21 came through with 1-2 inches of precipitation in the central and southern mountains. For this last week of September, we'll start dry, then we'll see midweek rain showers and then end-of-week rain and snow showers with some accumulating snow above about 11,000 feet.

It's always sad to sign off for the season. This season was full of upside and downside swings, large events followed by drought periods. Chasing Powder was essential to staying in the deep and that even included a last-minute trip to Austria. There is some snow in the forecast!
