April snow next 8 days

Tomer’s Take

  • A series of storm systems will track across the West through 4/17 with significant Spring snow.
  • Many lower elevation mountain basins have started the Spring melt process. These storm systems will put the brakes on that melt and recharge higher elevation snowpacks before the melt re-engages.

Timing for bulk of snow:

  • Wasatch: 4/11-4/14
  • Tetons: 4/9-4/14
  • Colorado Zones: 4/9, 4/11-4/13, 4/15
  • California Sierra: 4/11, 4/14
  • NM: 4/12-4/13
