Boulder meteorologist Joel Gratz, of OpenSnow.com, is forecasting a series of storms, colder than the ones we\u2019ve seen so far, that will move through the northwest U.S. and come tantalizingly close to dropping a little bit of the white stuff in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday night into Thursday, colder air will be passing through the northwest and Canada into the Rockies, bringing cold air to the northwest part of Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>While the cold air is helpful, Gratz said, it might come in after the precipitation leaves the area, providing a chill but little in the way of snow.<\/p>\n<p>However, Gratz said there is a possibility for at least a \u201cdusting\u201d of snow on the highest peaks in the region, setting the stage for snowcapped peaks to return to the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Gratz predicted very light snow in western Canada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and the northwest portion Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>Gratz said he expects no significant accumulation and said this is normal weather for early September.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/snow-on-the-horizon-cold-storms-could-bring-a-dusting-this-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grizzly Peak\u2019s west facing slope blanketed in snow in December 2018 near Dillon.
