A departing storm brought a final surge on Friday to the I-70 corridor under NW flow, pushing snowfall north of the San Juan Range over the I-70 corridor and north to Steamboat. A new storm in the PNW on Saturday will crank out 20-50 inches, with the highest totals in Oregon. Idaho, MT, Tetons seem favored next for the leftovers. A new storm moves into the Sierra early next week and pushes east.
Temperature rise through the 50s and 60s on the slopes this weekend. Mostly sunny skies are likely on Friday with increasing clouds on Saturday and rain by Sunday afternoon. Despite warm weather expected into next week we do have a slight chance of snow before next weekend.
An active pattern will continue across the West with multiple strong storms expected this weekend and next week. All major ski regions from the Southwest to Canada are favored. The East will remain in a spring-like pattern with rain expected on Sunday.
