Tomer’s Take The jet stream shifts north and blasts the PNW, B.C., and then MT, ID, WY with feet of snow accumulation. A large trough of low pressure develops and dip in the jet stream over the North Pacific. Starting on 1/4, the jet stream shifts south and begins to target northern UT and the […]
Tomer’s Take The first storm cycle of 2022 is taking shape in the Gulf of Alaska/B.C. Coast. This trough of low pressure becomes the dominant player 1/2-1/10 for the Pacific Northwest, Banff, WY, ID, MT, UT, and CO. 9-day storm cycle grand totals in Crested Butte, CO reached 99″. Another inch or so is certainly […]
Tomer’s Take Final storm system merger underway for 2021 in UT, CO, NM, WY. Looking into 2022, the storm track shifts north to favor the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Banff area, ID, WY, MT. Plan on major snow accumulation of 25-60″ at Stevens Pass, Baker, Rainier, Whistler/Blackcomb, Timberline, and Bachelor. Then the jet stream shifts […]
Tomer’s Take Merger of two different storm systems next 72 hours over 4-Corners marks the final piece of this historic storm cycle. Cold blast follows this merger. Brief break in the action across Intermountain West with small high pressure Sunday-Monday. Then next Pacific storm system hits the Intermountain West after 1/4. Grand total storm cycle […]
Tomer’s Take My forecast includes at least the partial merger of two storm systems over the 4-Corners between Thursday night and Saturday morning. Heavy snow in UT, CO, and NM between Thursday night-Saturday morning. In Colorado, the bullseye is Western Slope ski areas and San Juan ski areas. This final storm system will mark the […]
Tomer’s Take 2-3 additional storm systems lined-up through 1/2/2022 for the West. Merger possible between two storm systems near the 4-Corners 12/31-1/1. This would generate a larger, stronger storm system for UT, CO, NM, WY. My forecast is based on at least a partial merger. Crested Butte just hit 60″ in the last 5 days. […]
Tomer’s Take 2-3 more storm systems lined-up for the West. Largest storm system and possible merger on New Year’s Eve/Day. Cold blast following this final storm system. The latest infrared satellite reveals the storm track with storm systems lined-up. Let’s look at the final storm systems of this cycle. There are two moving pieces. Pacific […]
Tomer’s Take 3-5 additional storm systems lined-up through 1/2/2022 for the West. Major additional snow totals measured in feet in CA, UT, WY, CO. 50-110mph wind gusts 12/26 across UT, CO, WY. Uncertainty New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day with potential major storm system merger over UT, WY, CO. Here’s the water vapor satellite […]
I remember January 4-13, 2017 like it was yesterday. Over a roughly 10-day period the mountain town of Crested Butte received about 100″ of snow. That equated to about 10 inches of snow-water-equivalent. It was a one in 30-year storm cycle. It also included D4-scale avalanches. Most of the major basins in Colorado benefited from […]
Tomer’s Take Additional big powder days ahead through 1/1/2022 for West. Major trough of low pressure remains in position over the eastern Pacific located just off the West Coast. Jet stream remains in prime position for the West through 1/1/2022. Big wind 50-100mph hits the snowpack of UT, WY, and CO on 12/26. Storm cycle […]
