An early season surge of monsoon moisture will result in numerous thunderstorms and flash flooding potential across New Mexico on Tue & Wed. Colorado & Eastern Wyoming will also see an uptick in showers & t-storms, especially on Tue with stronger storms capable of large hail & damaging winds. Later in the week, CO will see a reduction in storms while New Mexico will continue to be favored.

June has been a hot and dry month so far, but we are about to see our annual June cold snap this weekend. Fri & Sat will be relatively dry with a slight chance of showers along with breezy conditions. Sat will be noticeably cooler than Fri, then a big cool-down occurs Sun with rain/snow showers throughout the day & snow levels down to 7-8k feet. Warmer & drier weather returns next week.

The winter of 2024-2025 featured near to above average snowfall across the Sierra, Central/Northern Rockies, and much of the East. Snowpack is currently melting at a faster rate than usual across much of the West due to warmer and drier conditions so far in April. Looking ahead, a storm will bring high-elevation snow showers to the Sierra & the Rockies from late this week through early next week.

This will be my final chase powder post for the 24/25 season. It has been an epic season in many areas, including northern Vermont and many northern/Central Rockies, Sierra, and Alaska spots. La Niña delivered as forecasted. Next Season will be deep somewhere! It is always deep on the Chase Powder Forecast. This post recaps the season for 24/25.
