Arctic Front Moves East

Tomer’s Take

• An Arctic front delivers snow to CO and NM on 2/2. Biggest totals occur in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico.
• This front then drives east with ice and snow for the Midwest and Northeast.
• The major ski areas in the Northeast start as rain/ice then change to all snow with significant accumulation (10-20 inches) between 2/3-2/4.
• High pressure rebuilds across CA, NV, and UT through 2/12 with possible larger pattern change by 2/17.

Larger Pattern

High pressure rebuilds across the Intermountain West including CA, NV, and UT through 2/12. This means warmer, drier weather returns.

There is some indication of a larger pattern change around 2/17. Notice across the West the high pressure dome is replaced by lower pressures and a dip in the storm track. This means colder, snowier weather returns.
