Daily Snow Forecasts

Sun Valley
Partly sunny for MLK Day in Sun Valley!
Updated 10 hours ago Steve Stuebner
Skiers/riders will enjoy a super nice day at Sun Valley for MLK Day, with the warmest day of the week on the mountain to occur this afternoon with 34 degrees and light winds. High temps will be in the high 20s the rest of the week. No significant snow is expected through Thursday.
Idaho
Slight chance of snow in N. Idaho on MLK day, partly cloudy...
Updated 11 hours ago Steve Stuebner
A weak disturbance pushing south into Idaho from Canada will create light snow showers and breezy conditions at N. Idaho ski areas on Monday, and cloudy to partly cloudy conditions in S. Idaho. Another system with a little more moisture will bring 2-5" of new snow Thursday and Friday in N. Idaho and light snow elsewhere in S. Idaho. High pressure aloft is still in control.
US and Canada
Storm track favors the East for the next 2 weeks
Updated 13 hours ago Alan Smith
A powerful Nor'Easter brought heavy snow to the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday, and New England will see heavy snow from this storm on Monday. The pattern for the rest of this week (and also next week) will favor the East & Upper Midwest while the West will remain in a drier pattern. BC, Alberta, & the Northern U.S. Rockies will see some snow this week, then next week's track shifts north to Alaska.
Western US
Final Forecast for the Summer 2021 Season
Updated 3 months ago Alan Smith
Unsettled weather will linger through the weekend across the Four Corners region as well as the Olympic Peninsula and Northern Cascades, but all of these areas will see a drying trend relative to recent days. A more active pattern is likely to develop across the entire West late next week and into the Oct 8th-9th weekend. This will be the final Daily Summit post of 2021 as we gear up for winter.
