Low pressure transits the West over the coming days (remaining well north of AZ) bringing an increase in breezes on a mild Thursday. Friday turns much cooler and windy for northern AZ as a dry, cold front pushes into the region, leaving a brisk Saturday behind. Mild weather quickly returns Sunday into much of next week.

The northern Sierra finally looks decent for 7-14 inches with the PNW finally cooling down by Thursday. Moisture initially returns to the PNW in the form of snow before a warm front moves in Saturday night. The Rockies score moderate totals with some deeper pockets in Wyoming, Utah, and perhaps Idaho from Thursday to Friday.

A storm impacted New England early this week with Jay Peak receiving 16 inches of new snow. Ski season is off to a fantastic start in this region! The Northwest saw a transition from snow to heavy rain early this week, but colder air is on the way with several shots of snow ahead. The Rockies will also see some snow late this week.
