Tomer’s Take: A snow bullseye is setting up for the PNW/BC between 2/3-2/9 with feet of accumulation. Blow-off from this rich flow and a storm system also benefits ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, and CA on/after 2/5. Season Totals Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a split jet flow running around a high pressure over […]

Tomer’s Take: The Intermountain West enters a quiet period 2/1-2/4 (ssshhhh) with high pressure. Then a storm system flattens the ridge on/after 2/5 with snow returning. The hot spot during the quiet period is the PNW/BC. Mount Baker could see over 4 feet. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows the current setup. Orange/red = drier […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues in the Southern Rockies with an Arctic Front then a quiet period emerges 2/1-2/4 for the Interior Rockies. A storm system will follow on 2/5-2/8 with over a foot for the Tetons and Wasatch. The place to be during the quiet period is the PNW/BC. Follow-up from 1/29 —> On my […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow and colder air is pivoting south across the West. Big totals continue. A quiet period emerges 2/1-2/4. Jackson Hole, WY is reporting 27 inches in the last 24 hours. That’s 42 inches in 48 hours! Steamboat, CO is reporting 10 inches in the last 24 hours. That’s 18 inches in 48 hours! […]

Tomer’s Take: A fast Northwest Flow continues out West then the entire pattern pivots south on/after 1/28 with an Arctic airmass and widespread snow. Then a quiet period takes hold. Steamboat is reporting 6″ in the last 24 hours. Season total is now up to 282 inches. Jackson Hole, WY is reporting 15″ in the […]

Tomer’s Take: It’s a powder day in the Northeast! I’m forecasting 2-3 additional Clippers through 2/4. Out West, a fast Northwest Flow (NWF) continues then the whole pattern pivots on/about 1/28. This spreads snow and colder temps south through the middle and southern Rockies. Then a quiet period builds 2/1-2/4. My forecast video 1/26: Current […]

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues in the Northeast into 1/26 then a series of Clippers arrive. A fast Northwest Flow dominates the West until 1/28 when the pattern pivots south delivering big totals. My forecast video 1/25: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows the Northwest Flow across the West and big trough with storm system sliding […]

Tomer’s Take: A fast Northwest Flow (NWF) continues across the West then the pattern shifts south on/about 1/28 with snow returning to CA. My forecast video 1/24: Current Setup Infrared satellite shows a high pressure ridge off the West Coast and NWF racing through the Northern Rockies. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream valid 2/2. Active […]

Tomer’s Take: A fast northwest flow (NWF) stays in place through 1/28 favoring the Northern tier of the Rockies then the jet shifts south and lower pressures expand across the West into 2/1. My forecast video 1/23: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a high pressure ridge off the West Coast and NWF favoring the […]

Tomer’s Take: The jet stream shifts north favoring the Northern Rockies early in the period. I’m still forecasting a fast NW Flow, but it’s trending much weaker. I’ve reduced most forecast snow totals. Then the pattern shifts south with lower atmospheric pressures across the West by the end of January. My forecast video 1/22: Forecast […]
