Late Spring Snow to Blanket the Western Mountains

Winter is not quite done yet! Well, if you happen to live in the higher elevations of our western mountains anyway.

A strong upper-low will allow cooler air to move across our western states, bringing precipitation and lowering snow levels through the rest of the weekend and into next week.

Heavy precipitation in the form of both rain and snow will be possible over the next couple of days and energy moves overhead. Travel could be treacherous over the mountain passes both Sunday and Monday.

Even though we're now in the latter half of May, significant snow accumulation is forecasted! The Cascades, Bitterroots, Bighorns, Wasatch, and Colorado Rockies could see more than a foot of snow in some regions!

Winter weather alerts have been issued for locations where significant snow and travel hazards are expected to occur. If heading to the mountains, expect heavy snow and difficult driving conditions!
