NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Preliminary snowfall analysis coming in for Colorado and already piling up over 3-feet in the mountains. Denver on the edge right now with the metro ranging from little snow up to 15-inches.

Current radar (6:10 PM ET) showed severe thunderstorms moving through St. Louis into southern Illinois. Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio are in line for the potential for Tornadoes later this evening. Tornado Watch boxes extend up the Mississippi River from Arkansas into the Ohio River Valley.
