Endless summer continues east of the Rockies while pulses of colder, fall-like air brings more snow and a step ever closer to winter in the West. Meanwhile both Southwest and Northeast get help from the tropics with much needed rainfall.

GFS indicates 1-2 FEET of snow for parts of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming over the next 6-10 days. These systems pushing into the West continues to pump the ridge and heat further east.

80s will be widespread from the Plains to Atlantic this week with low to mid 90s for some. That’s 20-30 above normal for this time of year!

90s aren’t done but living on borrowed time for DC or Philly, may even squeeze another in New York and Boston.
