The first day of fall may have just been on Monday, but winter is already well on its way to parts of the northern Rockies, where a potentially "historic" winter storm is setting up for this weekend.
The National Weather Service's prediction center said an upper low-pressure system dropping into the Pacific Northwest late Friday is forecast to bring what's expected to become a "significant and possibly historic" early-season snowstorm across portions of the northern Rockies.
"Snow, lots of it across the northern Rockies and the northern Plains, it's coming," Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said on "Fox & Friends."
The NWS's prediction center said that cold air is filtering into the region behind a cold front on Thursday with scattered rain and snow showers, setting the stage for the abrupt return of winter by this weekend.
"Widespread precipitation is expected to break out by Friday night and Saturday morning as an area of low pressure develops to the south between Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls," the WPC said.

Ever notice that whenever humans voluntarily choose their own climate change, it is almost always from a colder climate to a warmer climate?
That's what they say on the news. But they don't live here.
