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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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″ […]
