After a steady stretch of chase opportunities in the past 30 days, we are entering a summer-like temperature pattern (80F in Denver on Thursday). WT-! Colder air moves into the PNW later this week, which should return snow to BC and the Cascades. Long-range models look decent for more snow in the Sierra and perhaps the Rockies. April could boom.

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.

An active but weak storm track with a cool northwest flow will bring several areas of snow showers this week. Snow showers will be weak with little to no snow accumulations expected. The highest chance of a couple of inches of snow will be in the northern Mid-Atlantic. Areas to the south will see partly dry conditions and warmer weather. The final days of the ski season are upon us.
