Snow will continue across the Northeast on Wednesday as an area of low pressure tracks northeastward. An area of low pressure over the Intermountain West will allow for light to moderate, possibly heavy at times, snow across the Central Rockies Wednesday into Thursday.

Region 1

Region 2
An area of low pressure is forecast to develop over the Intermountain West on Wednesday and track into the central Rockies through Thursday. Light to moderate snowfall has started to fall and will be heavy at times. Cold air in place will allow snow to fall in the valleys with snowfall amounts of 4-8 inches and locally higher amounts expected across northern Utah. Over a foot of snow is likely over the higher terrain. Across southern Wyoming, snow accumulations of 6-10 inches, with isolated higher amounts in excess of 12 inches, are forecast. Along the Front Range of Colorado, snow accumulations of 4-6 inches with locally higher amounts in excess of 8 inches will be possible. Wind chills of -10 to -5 are also expected. Snow will taper off from north to south by Thursday afternoon as a cold front pushes through the region.

Further south, a cold front will push through during the morning hours, which will help spread the threat for heavy snow into the higher terrain of New Mexico. Snowfall accumulations of a foot will be possible over the high terrain, with a few inches possible over the valley areas.
