Big totals with two storm systems through 2/21

Tomer’s Take: Two different storm systems deliver big totals through 2/21. First storm system occurs 2/13-2/15 with colder and and good jet support. 2nd storm system occurs 2/19-2/20 and also has colder air and jet support from both branches. My forecast video 2/12: Taos 2/13: 4″ 2/14: 9″ 2/15: 11″ 2/20: 6″ Jackson Hole 2/13: […]

Snow Forecast through 2/20

Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period occurs 2/13-2/15 with colder air and big totals. A storm on it’s heels 2/19-2/20 is supported by both the southern and northern jet branches. My video forecast update 2/11: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a busy Pacific with both the northern and southern jets active. […]

Next Storm System

Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period is 2/13-2/15 with colder air and widespread heavy snow. A 2nd storm system hits on/about 2/18 with contribution from the northern and southern jets. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows three different areas of low pressure lined-up. The first low is small and will dive straight south […]

PNW Snow, 2/14 Storm System

Tomer’s Take: The bullseye remains the PNW through 2/13. Then a large storm system (with colder air) sweeps through the Intermountain West on/after 2/14. This storm system develops into an ABQ Low with heavy snow potential for Southern CO and northern NM on 2/15. Snow continues at Aspen/Snowmass this morning! Highlands is reporting 6″ in […]

Snow Forecast through 2/17

Tomer’s Take: 2-3 storm systems are lined-up for the West through 2/17. But, the largest and coldest storm system occurs 2/13-2/15. Season Totals so far! Current Setup Infrared satellite shows a busy north Pacific. The initial trajectory of all storm systems is the PNW/BC where the biggest grand totals occur. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream […]

Three storm systems through 2/16

Tomer’s Take: Three storm systems are lined-up through 2/16. The initial trajectory is the PNW/BC for biggest overall totals. The third storm system on/after 2/14 appears to be the most robust. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows three storm systems lined-up in the Pacific with initial trajectories into the PNW/BC. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream valid […]

Snow Forecast through Valentine’s Day

Tomer’s Take: Three different storm systems are lined-up through Valentine’s Day. The bullseye continues to be the PNW/BC. Jackson Hole, WY is reporting 10″ in the last 24 hours. I’m forecasting light additional snow today then 3-9″ on on 2/8. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows two areas of low pressure lined-up over the Pacific. […]

Two Storm Systems through 2/13

Tomer’s Take: There are two storm systems that run across the West through 2/13. 1st: 2/5-2/6. 2nd: 2/8-2/9. A third approaches CA on 2/13. Mount Baker is reporting 9 inches in the last 24 hours. I’m forecasting another 40 inches by 2/8. My video forecast 2/4: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows two storm systems […]

Snow Forecast through 2/12

Tomer’s Take: A few different areas of low pressure are lined-up in the Pacific with an initial trajectory into the PNW/BC on 2/3 then the storm track starts shifting further south on/after 2/5 through 2/12 to include CA, ID, UT, WY, MT, CO. Overall, forecast numbers have decreased a notch across the board. My forecast […]
