Wednesday's storm dropped 1-7 inches of snow with the deepest totals in the southern mountains. Coming up, there will be light snow on Thursday night, more intense snow from Friday morning through Saturday morning, and then another round of snow on Sunday night through Monday. It's good to be back aboard the storm train.

1-5 inches fell on Wednesday. Slight break on Thursday ahead of more snow on Thursday evening, Friday night through Saturday, and again on Monday. Mixed signals to start 2025.

An active pattern is setting up across the West for the holiday season with heavy snow for the Northwest in particular. Utah & Colorado will see frequent shots of light to moderate snow, while California and Oregon resorts will see both rain and snow with warmer air creeping in. The East will see a quiet pattern with a gradual warming trend, then colder air will arrive after the New Year.

On Wednesday and Thursday, a potent storm is headed for the BC coast and will slam the PNW with several feet of snow, strong winds, and rising snow levels. There are many red flags. The Rockies grab heavier snow from Friday to Sunday.

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.
