A storm will bring significant snowfall to areas above 2,500 feet in Alaska over the weekend. Early next week, the Coast Range, Cascade Range, and Northern Sierra will see rain develop as the storm track dips southward. During the second half of next week, a cold front will sweep across the Western U.S. with snow possible. The East will also see a chilly pattern with high-elevation snow potential.

Foliage is popping in the Rockies! Colors are changing very quickly. The OpenSnow new "Fall Colors" map and our official chase forecaster "Powderchaser Steve" hits the road to verify the best places to see brilliant colors. In some cases this chase could last several weeks.

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.

Thanks for reading the Washington Daily Snow this season. I hope you all have a great spring, summer, and fall! In this post, I recap the season's snowfall and snowpack, offer ways OpenSnow will be helpful during your summer adventures, and preview next winter.
