Snow is falling over the Colorado mountains Friday morning, favoring the eastern Divide resorts as forecasted. Montana has grabbed 15-20 inches near Red Lodge in the past seven days (it is Open today). Utah grabbed 7 inches of wet snow Thursday, followed by some cold blow on Friday morning.

On Thursday night, the first part of the storm dropped up to 4-6 inches of snow, so there will be some powder on Friday morning. On Friday and Friday night, the storm will continue with 4-8+ inches of snow, and this should create excellent conditions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. After this storm, no significant systems appear in the 10-day forecast.

A storm remains on track for the Rockies late this week with heavy snow expected in the Thursday to Saturday timeframe. A weaker storm will bring more snow to the Northwest and Northern Rockies this weekend and early next week. New England will see warmer temperatures with occasional rain.

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.
