Strong S, SW winds with high-density snow cranked over the Tetons and Wasatch on Friday. NW flow and colder temps brought some magic to the Cottonwoods (18-inch storm totals) and blasted the northern regions of Colorado (Steamboat-10 inches). Next week looks active from Thursday to Saturday

Saturday morning will be a powder day in the northern mountains with the 4-9 inches of snow that fell on Friday night. On Saturday and Sunday, snow showers will persist over some northern mountains. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, snow accumulation is likely across the state, and then on Friday and Saturday, a storm should bring significant snow to most southern and central mountains.

A storm will move from the Sierra into the Northern Rockies on Friday with deep snow totals expected, while the Northeast will also see a storm on Saturday with Southern New England favored for the highest totals. Next week, storms will continue to slam the East every couple of days, while the West will turn more active during the second half of the week.

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.
