Timing of the upcoming storm has slowed with a trend for the Sierra to grab 80% Wednesday night (Good thing) and moderate powder spreading east over the Rockies for Thursday PM/Friday morning. The PNW fires on Wednesday-Friday. You could chase nearly every State in the west in the next 3 days. Snorkel Alert CA.

A series of weather systems will bring daily chances of light accumulating snow throughout the work week. Highlights for appreciable snow in the 5 – 8” range look to fall along the MT/ID border at Lookout Pass Tue PM through Fri. The southern fringe of SW MT (Big Sky, Red Lodge), closest to a deep storm circulating and tracking to the south, will see the heaviest snow of 5 – 10” Thu into Fri.

An active pattern will take hold across the West this week with strong storms and heavy snowfall expected from Wednesday to Sunday. The East will see a relatively quiet week with spring conditions on the slopes.

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.
