Tomer’s Take: An active jet pattern continues through 3/6 with at least 4 different storm systems lined-up for the West. Current Setup Water vapor shows the low sliding at snails pace through the Sierra. Two additional areas of low pressure are riding its coattails. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream valid 3/6. The pattern remains active […]
Tomer’s Take: 3-4 storm systems are lined-up through 3/5 for the West. A powerful northern jet and southern jet remain contributing factors. Deep snow accumulation bullseyes remain likely. 29″ in 48 hours at Purgatory, CO. 31″ in 48 hours at Wolf Creek, CO. 14″ in 48 hours at Kirkwood, CA. Current Setup Water vapor shows […]
Tomer’s Take: The primary ABQ low is moving east. Next up is a snails-pace low in CA nailing the Sierra. This low will sit and spin for a few more days before ejecting into the Southern Tier with snow. Behind it is a 2nd low pressure with wind and snow for the Sierra and the […]
Tomer’s Take: Heavy snow continues through 3/3 for the West with a powerful jet conveyor belt. A few deep snow accumulation bullseyes continue. The Sierra could see 50-100 inches by 3/3. Alta, UT is reporting 20″ in 24 hours with more to come! Jackson Hole, WY is reporting 12″ in 24 hours. This officially puts […]
Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period sets up as an ABQ low delivering deep snow bullseyes 2/21-2/22 along with colder air and strong jet wind. Then a cut-off low in CA moves east 2/23-2/26 through the Southern Tier. A third low delivers heavy snow to CA’s Sierra 2/27-3/1. 10″ in 24 hours […]
Tomer’s Take: Juicy northwest flow (NWF) continues with two storm systems on its heels. 14″ in 48 hours at Jackson Hole, WY with significant snow yet to fall through 2/28. Strong wind above treeline 40-60mph. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows the NWF and two areas of low pressure lined-up. Plus northern and southern jet involvement. […]
Tomer’s Take: The Northwest Flow (NWF) is underway and delivering moderate to heavy snow accumulation. Then two storm systems wrangle the moisture and spread it across the West. They also deliver strong northern and southern jet branches plus colder air. After 2/25 it’s a drier waiting game until the next trough hits the west on/after […]
