A warm front will raise snow levels initially in the Pacific Northwest, with rain likely on Friday, changing to all snow on Saturday/Sunday. Canada stays a bit cooler with better chase options. Snow trickles into the Rockies late this weekend, favoring the northern areas before fizzling over Colorado by Sunday/Monday.

The dry and sunny weather pattern will continue on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Then Sunday should be mostly dry, with 2-7 inches of snow falling from Sunday night through Monday night. After that, we'll likely see a few days of dry weather, then more snow is possible during the middle of the month, but I still have low confidence in the longer-range weather pattern.

A favorable pattern will remain in place across the East with cold temperatures, and a storm will also bring widespread moderate snow to New England. A storm will move into the West over the weekend and into early next week with snow favoring the Northwest and the Rockies, though some parts of the Northwest will see predominantly rain with warmer air in place.

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.
