An upper-level ridge will bring warm spring conditions to the Western US to start this week as a colder storm system in the Eastern US brings light snow to the northern tiers. Spring in the West will be brief with a large storm system at the end of the week that will bring initial warm air and rain to the Northwest, but backside cold air with lowering snow levels and snow into the weekend.

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.
