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 […]

This Weekend
Tomer’s Take: Powder weekend ahead, but use extreme caution! Feet of additional accumulation likely in UT/CO/OR. An Arctic front and storm system are inbound 1/12-1/15. Snow increases afternoon 1/12 in UT/CO along with 40-70mph wind gusts raking the high peaks of WY/CO/UT. Strong wind continues into 1/13. Snow decreases in WY afternoon 1/12 as the […]
Storm Hand-off, Arctic Blast, Heavy Snow & Strong Wind
Tomer’s Take: Today is transition day with a storm system hand-off. Snow continues 1/11 in CO/NM diminishing from north to south. Then snow redevelops WA/OR/MT/ID/WY/CO on 1/12 as an Arctic front barrels south. Air temps run 30 to 50 degrees below normal. A storm system rides this Arctic front with strong orographics, high snow ratios, […]
Powerful storm systems and big totals through 1/19
Tomer’s Take: The next wave of snow hits UT/WY/CO afternoon 1/10 through 1/11. Then another storm system and Arctic front hits the West 1/12-1/15 with strong orographics, high snow ratios, and a jet blast. Snow squalls are possible in UT & CO 1/12-1/14. Another storm system 1/16-1/19 hits BC/MT/ID/WY/CO with a NW type flow. In […]
Storm systems on both coasts through 1/17
Tomer’s Take: A powerful storm cycle continues with storm systems on both coasts through 1/17. Out West, a blizzard (storm #2) hammers OR/WA 1/9. This storm system then moves into the Interior Rockies 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 delivers an Arctic front 1/12-1/15. Another storm system hits the PNW then Interior Rockies 1/16-1/17. In the Northeast, each […]
Storm cycle continues through 1/15
Tomer’s Take: Storm #1 exits CO/NM later today (1/8). Storm #2 dives south into the West 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 arrives 1/12-1/15 with an Arctic front. In the Northeast, the next storm system arrives 1/9-1/10 followed by another storm system 1/12-1/13. A third storm system is possible on 1/17. My afternoon forecast video update: Wolf Creek, […]
The Week Ahead
Tomer’s Take: Storm #1 continues into 1/8 and then exits CO/NM. Storm #2 arrives 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 is the most interesting and most significant with Arctic air, robust jet support, high snow ratios, and big accumulation. Feet of grand total accumulation across most mountain ranges by 1/16. The Wasatch totals with storm #3 are trending […]
Three storm cycle 1/6-1/15 with feet of grand total accumulation
Tomer’s Take: Snow accumulation over the last 24hours is bonus snow – appetizer snow. There are three different storm systems lined-up with this storm cycle through 1/15. Storm #1 arrives today through 1/8. Storm #2 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 1/12-1/15. Confidence is lowest in storm #3 as guidance shifts dramatically with respect to Arctic air and […]
Feet of grand total accumulation by 1/14 and Arctic blast
Tomer’s Take: A three storm cycle hits the West 1/6-1/14. Big grand totals. The #3 storm system drags down the coldest air of the season from the Arctic. Air temps by 1/13-1/15 run 30 to 50 degrees below the 30year average with many places below zero. All three storm systems ride a powerful jet stream […]
Snow forecast 1/6-1/13: Three storm systems for West & Northeast
Tomer’s Take: A three storm cycle hits the West 1/6-1/13 with big totals and colder air. An Arctic blast could hit the Intermountain West on/about 1/13 with air temps running 30-40 degrees below normal. This trough runs 4-5 standard deviations below the 30 year average. The Northeast benefits from all three Western storm systems. Moderate […]
