A high pressure ridge continues to keep Utah dry and mild for the rest of this week into the weekend. Inversions in the valley will be likely until we get a storm in to mix us out. Chances for a pattern change have been improving!

The high-pressure ridge in the west should retreat late this week, with a cold front due for the PNW by Saturday. Moisture will favor Canada and the PNW this weekend and slowly drag into the Rockies, allowing decent totals behind the cold front. While precipitation is not significant in the Rockies, the cold front could bring a few upside surprises.

A cold airmass will remain over the East this week with frequent snow showers for the Great Lakes and New England. A more widespread snow event is also expected later in the week. The West will be quiet this week with dry conditions and warmer temperatures. Storms will impact Northern BC and Alaska but rain

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.
