Bridger-Teton National Forest

July in Jackson Hole has brought the kind of summer weather that makes it easy to spend as much time outside as possible. Most days have been warm and sunny, with cool, comfortable evenings and only the occasional afternoon thunderstorm rolling through. While wildfire smoke drifted into the valley at times, creating periods of hazy skies and affecting air quality on some days, there were still plenty of beautiful stretches with clear mountain views. July is peak wildflower season- lupine, fireweed, paintbrush, sticky geranium and more splash color across the valley and adding extra cheer to our hikes. As we head into August, conditions remain similar, with warm summer days, cool nights, and the chance for a few isolated thunderstorms from time to time. Smoke conditions will likely continue to vary depending on regional wildfire activity, but overall, the month is expected to offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy everything Jackson Hole has to offer outdoors.

While Jackson Hole remains as gorgeous as ever, dry conditions persist into early February, though upcoming weather patterns look more promising. A stubborn high-pressure system over the West will need to break down before meaningful snowfall can arrive. January did bring cooler-than-average temperatures, but that trend is already starting to shift. Since our last storm on January 10, snowfall has been limited to only a few light events.

Overall, Wyoming experienced unseasonably high temperatures and below-average precipitation across most of the state in December. Warm, wet weather dominated the month as an “atmospheric river” flowed through Jackson Hole leaving the valley floor mostly brown for Christmas. A new storm cycle has arrived—fingers crossed it will bring colder temps and lots of snow. Visitors and locals are doing their snow dances!
