2-3 storm systems next week

Confidence is growing for two storm systems next week across the Intermountain West. Could we see a 3rd storm system late next week? Yes there is some data to support that possibility.

Here’s the current setup on water vapor satellite. The red colors indicate drier air aloft. The primary storm track continues to favor the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and western Alberta.

Next Week

The first storm system on 12/6-12/7 will chip away and dislodge the big high pressure ridge currently across the West. This will grease the atmospheric skids for the 2nd storm system and possibly a 3rd by 12/10.

Pressure anomalies around 18,000ft next week. GFS interpretation.

Let’s look at snow totals in two phases. Totals between 12/2-12/5:

Inches of snow 12/2-12/5.

Totals between 12/6-12/10 (Assuming 3 Storm Systems):

Inches of snow 12/6-12/10.

I had a request for my Park City snow plume forecast (from Brett). 2-3 storm systems could deliver significant grand totals by 12/10.

    Thank you sir for the stoke. I felt your apprehension for these approaching storms as you are now comfortable slaying the dome of pressure with the triple storm sword.
    CB must be in for the n.n.w. flow. Of coarse I went with Ikon instead of Epic… oh well epic mts. are going to be packed with all the passes sold this season. Cheers!
