The severe weather threat will decrease across Montana & Wyoming this week after several active days. A heatwave will take hold over the Southwest & Colorado with temps hitting triple digits in lower elevation terrain. A cooler pattern will take hold across the Northwest this week with the potential for significant rainfall on Friday-Saturday, with high-elevation snow also possible.

Rainfall from Wednesday's thunderstorms generally ranged from a quarter to a half-inch over the Teton Range and in valley areas at the base of the Tetons, with lighter amounts around the town of Jackson. We will now head back into a dry pattern for the foreseeable future, though many days will feature a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm with minimal rain potential with any storms.

Well..... it's finally here. The most unfortunate time of year with no snow and no prospects of any snow in the future. These days, I catch up on housework, travel a lot, and sneak a peek at the models once a month. The extended Euro model was just released, and the latest ENSO forecast is interesting. Let's dig in because what else is there to do this time of year?!

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.
