Daily Snow Forecasts

US and Canada
Wet and snowy pattern for Tahoe and the Pacific Northwest
Updated 3 hours ago Alan Smith
A series of storms will bring daily rounds of precipitation to the West Coast over the next 7 days. Snow levels will be high on Wednesday and Thursday but will start to fall on Friday as stronger and more progressive storms arrive. The strongest storm is expected Sunday-Tuesday with colder temps and heavy snow likely for the Sierra, Pacific Northwest, and Northern Rockies.
Colorado
Looking ahead to next week
Updated 3 hours ago Joel Gratz
Tuesday's storm dropped 2-4 inches of snow on most mountains. Wednesday through Saturday will be dry and warm. On Sunday, we could see some showers. Then next week, areas to our west and north will be clobbered with rain and snow, but we'll likely see lower totals with the best chance of snow around Tuesday, October 26.

Updated 1 day ago Powderchaser Steve
Snow has departed the Sierra and is headed for Utah, Wyoming and parts or Colorado. Some areas may see an excess of 12 inches. Next week looks deep! Keep reading!
