Snow To Impact the Rockies This Weekend
December 6, 2025 at 05:29 AM EST
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Rob Richards
A winter storm continues across the Cascades and northern Rockies today through tonight causing periods of moderate to heavy snow.
An area of low pressure will track across the northern Rockies today into tonight causing periods of snow. High winds will pair with the snow today and tonight as well, enabling blowing snow. Travel will be both slow and dangerous between mountain passes, which could be subject to low-visibility conditions and snow-packed roads.
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect across parts of Idaho, the Cascades of Washington, parts of Montana, western and southern Wyoming, Utah and western Colorado.
Snow totals through tonight are expected to surpass 3 to 5 feet for the highest peaks, with totals above 2 feet common for Washington's higher Cascades alongside ridges in northern Idaho into western Montana and Wyoming, Utah's Wasatch Range, and the Colorado Front Range. Totals of 6 to 12 inches will likely stack up for the mid-elevations throughout the northern Rockies, along with Oregon's Cascades.

A simple kit including a weather radio, water, blankets, batteries, and non-perishable food items will go a long way in the event of a power outage.
