A widespread 2-4" snowfall is likely on Monday night into Tuesday with some high-end amounts approaching 6". High pressure settles in for the remainder of the week with temperatures moderating into the 30s. Rain may be in the forecast thereafter, but so is the potential for a favorable pattern to kick off 2025.

A series of storms will move across the West this week and through the end of the year. Storms will favor the Northwest, Northern Rockies, and Sierra with lighter snowfall for Utah & Colorado on the southern fringe of the storm track. The Northeast will see 1-2 shots of snow this week as well.

The overall trend is for anomalously warm temps next week, with quick-hitting cold fronts that could earn you some double-digit turns. Cold air mixes with warmer temps in many areas before your next opportunity comes to chase. Chases might revolve around the PNW, BC, Sierra, and the Tetons. Some areas will see nearly continuous snowfall at mid and upper elevations from Wednesday to Saturday.
