Snow chances will return to BC this weekend but I'm a little more pessimistic about how the pattern is shaping up for mid to late month than I have been in previous posts. On Sat-Sun, a storm will arrive but it has been trending further south and most areas will only see light snow as a result. Next week, we have the opposite problem with warmer temps & heavier snow possibly too far north.

The forecasted storm for Colorado is departing on Wednesday morning, which resulted in 2-7 inches. The subsequent chase will center on the Sierra, Four Corners, Wasatch, Tetons (wildcard), and northern Colorado and New Mexico. Oregon also offers some options.

The next 7 days will be very active across the West with multiple storms expected, favoring the Sierra and the Central Rockies for the deepest totals. The East will also remain in an active pattern with new storms every couple of days, though mixed precipitation will be a factor at times.

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.
