The first atmospheric river event of the season is slamming into the mountains of the PNW today. The summit of Mt. Baker is forecasted to get as much as 11 feet of snow by Saturday!
Atmospheric River headed to the Pacific Northwest! Heavy Rainfall, especially for Washington State expected Wednesday-Sunday. Snowfall likley for the highest peaks of northern Coastal BC by the weekend.  – Powderchasers
“I talked about a late start to Winter this season and it’s playing out. We’re in for a long, dry stretch. The jet stream stays north of Colorado for the next 10 days. That carries us into very early October. Notice in my graphic below the big high pressure dome. The areas of precip (green, blue, reds) all stay outside of Colorado.” – Chris Tomer
