A strong storm will move on shore the Pacific coast early this week. It will then emerge from the Rockies as a closed low system, this storm will come out strong, but will rapidly weaken (as all closed low systems do). How quickly it does this will play a major role in snow totals. The map on the left shows a general summary of this wide range snow. Up to a foot is possible in and around the heavy area, with amounts dropping off from there.
