Montana’s top 3 resorts outperformed their forecast over the past 36 hours. Big Sky pulled in 7 – 12”, with 9” at Whitefish (adding to their epic week), and 4 - 7" at Bridger Bowl. Look for the western mountains to add 4 – 12” through Sun night, with the eastern mountains seeing daily accumulations of an inch or three. By Tues AM, an Alberta Clipper could bring heavy snow to Red Lodge. All good!
An active pattern will continue across the West with multiple strong storms expected this weekend and next week. All major ski regions from the Southwest to Canada are favored. The East will remain in a spring-like pattern with rain expected on Sunday.
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.
