☃️ Our break from winter will be short lived as we're already tracking the next heavy snow maker. Confidence is increasing this'll be another impactful system. If you have travel plans Sun through mid-week, stay up-to-date on the latest weather forecasts. #UTwx #WinterPersists

There remain some details to iron out but our confidence has increased in potential impacts from an atmospheric river late Thursday into Friday. Monitor the forecast and consider preparing for the possibility of heavy rain and flooding. #cawx

With ample fresh snow especially in higher elevations, avalanche risk is considerable in many areas of Montana. Know the avalanche risks before you go out to play in back country, avoid areas with 30% or more steep grades, and always travel with a partner for safety.

An Atmospheric River is increasingly likely Thu PM-Sat. The deepest snowpack will absorb much of the rain, but the shallower snowpack below ~ 5500 ft. will pose the greatest flood concerns. Read the latest AFD for more details: bit.ly/3JkDa3b #CAwx #NVwx

More snow? A bit. Light snow will develop overnight over N UT & SW WY, persisting into Tuesday morning. Accumulations will be light (less than 1" for valleys, up to 4" for mountains), but any snow that falls will stick to roads. Be careful during the Tuesday AM commute! #utwx

Some great news for those seeking relief from the drought. The latest monthly drought outlook from @NWSCPC shows drought improvement or even removal is likely for portions of the western U.S. during March thanks to the very wet weather pattern this fall and winter.
