Tomer’s Take: A northwest flow (NWF) and two storm systems are lined-up late 2/18 through 2/24. A few deep snow accumulation bullseyes are likely along with strong wind and colder air. Then it’s a waiting game for the next trough late February into early March. My forecast video 2/18: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows […]

Big totals 2/19-2/26; Pattern Early March
Tomer’s Take: Big totals result from an initial northwest flow (NWF) then 1-2 different storm systems dive south through the Rockies with colder air and widespread snow. Looking ahead, the March 1 pattern stays unsettled across the West with lower atmospheric pressure anomalies across the West Coast. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows one low […]
Snow and Pattern through end of February; Deep Bullseyes
Tomer’s Take: An active pattern for the West is shaping up 2/19-2/25. A Northwest Flow (NWF) sets up early then two different areas of low pressure deliver colder air and widespread heavy snow with a few deep bullseyes. Looking ahead, the end of February and early March are trending active with lower than normal atmospheric […]
Active pattern through 2/24 for West
Tomer’s Take: An ABQ low is dropping heavy snow and colder air in CO and NM through 2/15. Then a Northwest Flow (NWF) develops on/around 2/19 followed by two additional storm systems, colder air, and big totals through 2/24. 22″ in 24 hours at Wolf Creek with more on the way. 7″ in 24 hours […]
Bulleyes, Snow through 2/23
Tomer’s Take: Two storm systems deliver colder air and a few snow bullseyes through 2/23. Plus, a little NW Flow possible adding to the grand totals. Taos is reporting 10″ in the last 24 hours with a lot more yet to go. Alta is reporting 5″ in the last 24 hours now officially breaking 500″ […]
2-3 storm systems through 2/22; Bullseye locations
Tomer’s Take: I’m tracking one small southern track storm system and two larger storm systems through 2/22. There are a few bullseye locations. Timing: 1st Low: Now-2/14, Southern Tier 2nd Low: 2/13-2/15, PNW to Rockies to ABQ Low 3rd Low: 2/19-2/21, PNW to Rockies to ABQ Low One of my bullseye spots is Wolf Creek, […]
Big totals with two storm systems through 2/21
Tomer’s Take: Two different storm systems deliver big totals through 2/21. First storm system occurs 2/13-2/15 with colder and and good jet support. 2nd storm system occurs 2/19-2/20 and also has colder air and jet support from both branches. My forecast video 2/12: Taos 2/13: 4″ 2/14: 9″ 2/15: 11″ 2/20: 6″ Jackson Hole 2/13: […]
Snow Forecast through 2/20
Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period occurs 2/13-2/15 with colder air and big totals. A storm on it’s heels 2/19-2/20 is supported by both the southern and northern jet branches. My video forecast update 2/11: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a busy Pacific with both the northern and southern jets active. […]
Next Storm System
Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period is 2/13-2/15 with colder air and widespread heavy snow. A 2nd storm system hits on/about 2/18 with contribution from the northern and southern jets. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows three different areas of low pressure lined-up. The first low is small and will dive straight south […]
PNW Snow, 2/14 Storm System
Tomer’s Take: The bullseye remains the PNW through 2/13. Then a large storm system (with colder air) sweeps through the Intermountain West on/after 2/14. This storm system develops into an ABQ Low with heavy snow potential for Southern CO and northern NM on 2/15. Snow continues at Aspen/Snowmass this morning! Highlands is reporting 6″ in […]
