The forecasted storm for Colorado is departing on Wednesday morning, which resulted in 2-7 inches. The subsequent chase will center on the Sierra, Four Corners, Wasatch, Tetons (wildcard), and northern Colorado and New Mexico. Oregon also offers some options.

On Wednesday morning, some of the central and northern mountains received 4-6 inches of new snow, and Steamboat far exceeded the forecast with 13 inches. Temperatures will be cold on Wednesday, with highs of around 0°F. The next storm from Thursday night to Saturday night will deliver 10-30 inches of snow, with powder on Friday, Saturday, and maybe Sunday morning.

The next 7 days will be very active across the West with multiple storms expected, favoring the Sierra and the Central Rockies for the deepest totals. The East will also remain in an active pattern with new storms every couple of days, though mixed precipitation will be a factor at times.

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.
