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 […]

Tomer’s Take: Three different storm systems are lined-up for the West through 12/6 with major grand totals. Jackson Hole is already reporting a foot of new snow in the last 24 hours. This is only storm #1. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows a crowded Pacific with low pressure systems lined-up and southern jet branch involvement. […]
