Heavy Precipitation in the West; Wintry Mix in the North; Fire Weather in the High Plains

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest into early Monday. Dry, gusty winds are resulting in elevated to critical fire weather in the south/central High Plains. Read More >

Heavy Cascade snow is expected for elevations above 2,500 feet Jan. 6-7, resulting in snowy and hazardous travel conditions over the passes on highways 26, 20, and 58. Be prepared for winter driving conditions if you must travel over the passes. Snow will be heaviest Tuesday evening/night and again Wednesday afternoon/evening. One to two feet of snow is expected to fall at pass level between 4am Tuesday and 4am Thursday.
There is a high threat of sneaker waves Wednesday through Friday, Jan. 7-9. If you plan on heading to the beach, be cautious and stay observant of incoming waves. Avoid logs and large rocks, and keep children and pets away from the surf zone.
