NOAA Heavy Snow Outlook: Western Mountains Face Another Stormy Week
November 7, 2026 · Texas News Studio
A new series of Pacific storms is expected to bring unsettled weather to the western United States next week, including periods of mountain snow and heavy rainfall.
In its November 7 extended forecast discussion, NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center described an active Pacific storm track affecting the Pacific Northwest and California through the coming week. Atmospheric moisture plumes could produce heavy precipitation, mountain snow and gusty coastal winds.
A national heavy-snow outlook is a forecast of potential hazardous weather, not a promise that every location within a highlighted region will see the same snowfall. Elevation, storm track and temperatures will determine which communities receive snow rather than rain.
Travelers heading into mountain passes should check local National Weather Service forecasts and transportation alerts before leaving. TNS will monitor the official outlook as storm timing and amounts become clearer.
