Tomer’s Take: A storm system delivers snow to UT/WY/ID/MT/CO/NM 1/25-1/26. Then brief high pressure builds over UT/WY/CO/NM 1/27-1/31 with warm, dry conditions. During this time, precipitation continues hitting the West Coast/PNW with a high rain/snow line. Then the flood gates might open the first week of February with a powerful Subtropical jet stream and deep […]

Tomer’s Take: A Pacific storm system hits CA on 1/24 then moves into UT/WY/ID/MT/CO/NM 1/25-1/26 with light to moderate snow accumulation. Then a brief high pressure ridge builds over UT/WY/CO/NM 1/27-1/31 with the storm track favoring the West Coast/PNW. The pattern turns more active after 2/1. My afternoon forecast video update: Current Setup Water vapor […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues in the Sierra this morning then drier this afternoon until the next storm system 1/24. This storm system then moves into UT/ID/MT/WY/CO/NM 1/24-1/26 with light to moderate snow accumulation. A warmer, drier period with high pressure builds over the Intermountain West 1/27-1/31. My forecast update video: Current Setup Water vapor satellite […]

Tomer’s Take: A new Pacific pattern engages 1/19-1/28 with warmer air temps, higher snow levels, heavy West Coast/PNW precipitation, and a couple southern track storm systems. The next wave of snow hits the Wasatch, Tetons and mountains of Colorado 1/20-1/22 with light to moderate snow accumulation. CA gets moderate to heavy snow above 7500′ late […]

Tomer’s Take: Lingering light snow in WY & CO on 1/18. Then a new warmer Pacific pattern engages the West 1/19-1/27. Air temps will be warmer, and a strong Subtropical jet will deliver 1-2 southern track areas of low pressure. Snow levels in CA start at 7500′ late 1/19 then increase to 8000′ late 1/23. […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues early 1/18 in UT & WY and through midday in CO. Then the pattern shifts 1/19-1/26 to a warmer Pacific pattern with a strong Subtropical jet. My afternoon forecast video update: Current Setup A storm system riding a WNW Flow continues in CO/WY/ID/MT/WA/BC. Notice the large trough sitting over the Pacific. […]

Tomer’s Take: The next storm system and WNW Flow remains on-track for 1/17-1/18 delivering moderate to heavy snow in BC/WA/ID/MT/WY/UT/CO. Looking down the road, a warmer Pacific flow pattern takes shape 1/19-1/25. My afternoon forecast video update: Season Totals Crystal clear and cold in Vail, CO this morning after 3-4 feet of new snow in […]

Tomer’s Take: Grand totals hit 86 inches with this storm cycle (Over 6″SWE, Alta, UT, Buffalo Pass, CO). What’s next? A storm system and efficient WNW Flow delivers moderate to heavy snow accumulation to BC/WA/ID/MT/WY/UT/CO 1/17-1/18. Beyond this, a warmer Pacific flow pattern takes over 1/19-1/24. My afternoon forecast video: Forecast Jet Stream Storm system […]

Tomer’s Take: A reinforcing cold front drops south through Tetons tonight and into UT/CO by 1/15. Snow starts back up in the Tetons and continues in WY & CO with additional accumulation into 1/15. The next storm system and WNW Flow arrives 1/17-1/18 with moderate to heavy snow potential in British Columbia/WA/ID/MT/WY/UT/CO. A new Pacific […]

Tomer’s Take: Brutal morning across UT/CO with a jet blast (100mph gusts), low visibility, and below zero air temps. Wind continues through this afternoon. The next surge of snow arrives tonight through 1/15 with the main storm system rotating out of OR/CA. Feet of snow yet to accumulate. My afternoon forecast video update: Wind Gust […]
