High pressure will lead to mild conditions over the West on Friday and Saturday, but the pattern will gradually trend cooler and more active early next week with snow chances ramping up. The East will see cold temperatures over the next 5 days with periods of light snow, followed by a warm-up after Christmas.

The next storm will bring widespread light snow to the Mid-Atlantic on Friday with scattered lake effect snow on Saturday and Sunday. Cold air will move in this weekend with temperatures in the teens and single digits. This will bring great riding and snowmaking conditions that will open more terrain. Another weak storm is likely next week on Tuesday, December 24 with light snow to the north.
