A trough moving across the Northern Rockies will bring rain to Northern Idaho & Montana on Thursday, then the pattern will dry out for most of the West with only limited pockets of appreciable thunderstorm chances through the weekend. Wildfire smoke will continue to plague the Southwest as well. Next week, the monsoon looks to pick up somewhat, but confidence in the details is low.

It's the last post of the 2024-25 season. I'll give some final season snowfall stats and provide a little insight as to why our winter panned out the way it did. Looking forward to my next season forecasting for you all in the fall of 2025!
