Tomer’s Take: A powerful storm system arrives 12/10-12/13. I’m forecasting a weak to moderate atmospheric river (AR) for the Sierra, colder air, and widespread heavy snow for the PNW, ID, WY, UT, and CO. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows two storm systems lined-up in the North Pacific. The 2nd storm system approaching the Bering […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues to fall in parts of Colorado ending on 12/8. Two additional storm systems are lined-up through 12/16 with heavy snow accumulation for the West and a weak atmospheric river (AR) setup for CA. ->Snowmass, CO is reporting 15″ in the last 48 hours. ->Wolf Creek, CO is reporting 11″ in the […]

Tomer’s Take: I’m forecasting four different storm systems for the West through 12/15 with big totals. A weak atmospheric river (AR) is possible for CA’s Sierra 12/10-12/11. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows an active flow off the Pacific with storm systems lined-up. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream partner valid 12/7. Storm #1 is moving at […]

Tomer’s Take: A three storm combo remains in my forecast through 12/12 with heavy grand totals across the West. A forth storm system is possible on 12/13-12/14. Snow is also falling in Colorado where it’s just getting started. A 3.5 day prolonged period of focused snow is in my forecast with over a foot for […]

Tomer’s Take: Three different storm systems are lined-up through 12/12 with big totals for most of the West. My forecast video including snow plume for Vail Mountain/Vail Pass: Forecast Timing Forecast radar and satellite valid 12/4-12/9. Forecast Totals Forecast snow totals (inches) valid 12/4-12/7. Forecast snow totals (inches) valid 12/8-12/12.

Tomer’s Take: One more storm system is lined-up for CA and the West before the pattern shifts after 12/8. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows two storm systems lined-up. The first low delivers heavy snow accumulation to CA and the interior. The 2nd low hits further north and then might wash-out at the expense of a […]

Tomer’s Take: Storm #1 continues to drop heavy snow accumulation and strong wind gusts. Storm #2 delivers heavy snow 12/3-12/7 in many of the same locations. Overall, I decreased many of my forecast totals after observing how storm #1 unfolded. Some forecast totals in CO increase. Snow accumulation continues across WY, UT, CO. Overall totals […]

Tomer’s Take: The first of two storm systems is currently hitting the Sierra then ID, MT, WY, UT, CO. Storm #2 hits the same areas 12/3-12/5 with heavy snow accumulation. Grand totals will be measured in feet. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows the big low hitting CA. Storm #2 is right on its heels over […]

Tomer’s Take: A two-storm combo delivers feet of snow to many Western mountain zones through 12/7. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows storm #2 and storm #3 lined-up. The southern jet branch also gets involved in the AR. Forecast Pattern through 12/7 Storm #1 hits the Sierra hard with a powerful N+S jet combo and weak […]
