Forecasts are holding true for back-to-back snow storms Friday-Sunday statewide, with copious amounts of snow expected. Schweitzer, Silver and Lookout will get 1-2 feet of snow by Sunday. Bogus, Brundage, Tamarack and Pomerelle could get 2-3 feet by Sunday. Then twin AR systems move into the region and cause a dramatic warm-up, sending snow levels above ski area summits Mon-Tues. Might be messy!

Several waves have already put down some decent numbers as of 4 PM Friday. The heaviest snow is likely from Saturday to Sunday night in many areas. Chase powder through Monday.

A series of storms will bring much-needed heavy snow to the Northwest and the Rockies from Friday to Monday, though some areas will see a changeover from snow to rain during the latter stages of this event. The East will also remain in an active pattern with uncertainty regarding a possible snow event in New England on Sunday-Monday, while the Mid-Atlantic could also see some snow next week.
