Two large and slow-moving low-pressure systems will impact the West over the next 7 days, bringing significant low-elevation rain and high-elevation snow to many areas, along with cooler than average temperatures. The Central & Northern Rockies are favored for the heaviest rain and snow totals. A gradual warming & drying trend is expected heading into late May.

It's the last post of the 2024-25 season. I'll give some final season snowfall stats and provide a little insight as to why our winter panned out the way it did. Looking forward to my next season forecasting for you all in the fall of 2025!

It's April 30th, and the last post of the 2024-25 season. I'll give some final season snowfall and precipitation stats, and we'll look forward to next season, which will start during the fall of 2025. My 20th season forecasting for the Sierra!

The winter of 2024-2025 featured near to above average snowfall across the Sierra, Central/Northern Rockies, and much of the East. Snowpack is currently melting at a faster rate than usual across much of the West due to warmer and drier conditions so far in April. Looking ahead, a storm will bring high-elevation snow showers to the Sierra & the Rockies from late this week through early next week.
