Sunny days with a dry pattern lasting another week. The pattern may start to open up to week systems the week of the 20th, and possibly wetter storms the last 7 days of the month into February.

We have a dry weather regime in store for us over the next 7 - 10 days. The models indicate we will see stronger winds over the weekend with a break during most of next week. Our next shot of precip could be around next weekend but that's still not 100% guaranteed. The final 10 days of January show a bit more promise for moisture.

A storm will track from northwest to southeast through the Northwest and the Rockies, bringing moderate to locally heavy totals to many areas. A storm will also bring moderate snow accumulations to the Mid-Atlantic on Friday and Friday night. Next week, the West will see a break in the pattern while the East will see snow showers and cold temps.

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.
