An arctic cold front will move from north to south into the Western U.S. on Friday and Saturday before spreading into the Eastern U.S. early next week, resulting in some of the coldest air of the season so far in many areas. Storms will continue to favor the East from late this week through early next week, while the Rockies will see a shot of snow Thursday-Saturday as the front arrives.

We are stuck in a prolonged dry pattern for at least another week, and the long-range models are trending drier not wetter through the end of the month...

A dry forecast continues to have little to no end in sight. We will have a period of extreme fire danger between Monday & Tuesday of this week as there will be gusty winds once again. By Wednesday afternoon they will calm and we should see generally clear weather over the next 7 - 10 days.

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.
