Brutal 10-day snow forecast across the West

We’re moving into a difficult pattern across the Western Rockies through December 4. Pressures are rising as a dome of high pressure builds. At it’s peak, this “king high pressure” could reach two standard deviations above the 30-year normal. This means warmer and drier than normal weather for most lower 48 ski areas.

High pressure across the West valid 11/29/2021. GFS interpretation.

The primary storm track and precipitation bullseye during this timeframe will favor the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and western Alberta. Heavy snow is likely at Whistler/Blackcomb, Mount Baker, Revelstoke, Marmot Basin, Sunshine Village, and Panorama to name a few locations. This will likely leave these areas in best shape headed into Christmas.

Total precipitation through early 12/3/2021. GFS interpretation.

My 10-day snow forecast paints a grim picture for the lower 48. Click to enlarge:
