Generally 5-13 inches has fallen in the Rockies with more impulses due this week. The PNW fires this weekend. Sierra surprise Friday night.

Snow showers this morning (Thursday) will taper off by afternoon. The skiing should be very good in northern Utah with fresh snow. Another storm arrives by Saturday morning with more snow. Snow showers linger into early next week. High pressure likely to dry us out later next week.

An active pattern will continue across the Northwest during the first 5 days of 2025 with storms favoring the Cascades and Northern Rockies. The East is also about to head into an active pattern with sustained cold temperatures. On Wednesday, a storm will bring snow to New England, while the Mid-Atlantic could potentially see a storm early next 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.
