A transient ridge will bring mostly sunny skies across the Alberta Rockies on Weds. Beginning Thurs, the first of two weak Pacific storm systems returns clouds and flurries with light accumulations into Fri. The second, and slightly stronger of the two, arrives Fri PM and extends into Sat PM. Nothing significant, but 3-day totals of 10 – 20 cm may provide a nice refresh for the weekend.
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.
