The pattern will change very little over the weekend with the jet stream situated across the Northern Rockies, while low-level moisture from the southeast will continue to fuel thunderstorms east of the Divide in Montana & Wyoming, with the potential for strong to severe storms. The Central Rockies will continue to dry out, while the PNW will see moisture & cooler temps arrive later next week.

Rainfall from Wednesday's thunderstorms generally ranged from a quarter to a half-inch over the Teton Range and in valley areas at the base of the Tetons, with lighter amounts around the town of Jackson. We will now head back into a dry pattern for the foreseeable future, though many days will feature a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm with minimal rain potential with any storms.

The winter of 2024-2025 featured near to above average snowfall across the Sierra, Central/Northern Rockies, and much of the East. Snowpack is currently melting at a faster rate than usual across much of the West due to warmer and drier conditions so far in April. Looking ahead, a storm will bring high-elevation snow showers to the Sierra & the Rockies from late this week through early next week.

This will be my final chase powder post for the 24/25 season. It has been an epic season in many areas, including northern Vermont and many northern/Central Rockies, Sierra, and Alaska spots. La Niña delivered as forecasted. Next Season will be deep somewhere! It is always deep on the Chase Powder Forecast. This post recaps the season for 24/25.
