A storm cycle will get underway with two main rounds moving through in the Wed to Fri night timeframe. Snow levels will remain low for this time of year with continued excellent skiing conditions, and deep snow totals will add up by Fri-Sat. On Sun-Mon a warm atmospheric river event will lead to rising snow levels. More snow likely Sun, then rain is expected up to ski resort summits Mon.

The Cottonwoods and areas of Park City, Parleys Summit, grabbed cold air and the perfect NW winds that cranked out impressive totals. 2 Feet fell in the Cottonwoods. Moisture streamed into Colorado favoring the resorts from Telluride to Steamboat with leftovers stretching east over the I-70 corridor. Cascades fire next.

Two more storms will impact the West from Wednesday to Saturday with snow favoring the Northwest and the Rockies, and snow conditions will remain excellent. A significant warming trend will begin on Sunday, however. In the East, snow is in the forecast for New England this weekend and early next week.

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.
