Tomer’s Take If you’re looking for 2-8″ new powder on Monday 3/14 then hit UT, WY, and CO. A storm system hits CA on 3/15 then traverses east and hits UT, WY, CO, NM between 3/15-3/18. Here’s my full analysis for the week ahead:

Mountain Weather: Weekend Update
Tomer’s Take Snowstorm for parts of the Northeast on 3/12. Rain/snow line cuts through southern NH, southern ME. Best snow accumulation occurs in VT, northern NH, and northern ME. Western storm track shifts 3/13-3/15 into the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Then it gradually shifts south 3/15-3/18. A “sleeper snow” hits Utah, […]
Weekend Northeast snowstorm; Western storm track shifts to PNW
Tomer’s Take Snow continues in southern UT, CO, and NM 3/10 into early 3/11 then drier until 3/13-3/14 when a fast-moving wave of snow delivers 2-8″. That makes 3/14 a powder day. The departing storm system from UT, CO, NM will develop into a strong Nor` Easter. Moderate to heavy snow accumulation and strong wind […]

Next storm system for the West
Tomer’s Take Next storm system hits MT, ID, WY first then UT, CO, NM between 3/8-3/11. This is a colder, more potent storm system versus the previous two storm systems. High pressure rebuilds across the Intermountain West starting on 3/11. Storm track shifts north into the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Banff Area through 3/15. […]
Colder storm system 3/8-3/11
Tomer’s Take Storm #1 was largely a bust for Wyoming and delivered lower end totals to Utah (plus some from storm #2). But, we just didn’t see the big 12”+ totals I was hoping for. Storm system was ultimately too warm and gave up pressure battling initial high pressure. Storm #2 (currently) is a notch […]
Snow forecast next 8 days
Tomer’s Take Storm #1 of 3 now affecting the Intermountain West. This storm cycle runs through 3/11. Storm #1 is the warmest of the three. Storm #2 is a notch colder. Storm #3 is the coldest and most potent. It hits the Intermountain West 3/9-3/11. Beyond 3/11, high pressure rebuilds briefly. Infrared satellite shows the […]
Three Storm Systems Lined-Up for the West
Tomer’s Take 3 different storm systems are lined-up for the West through 3/10. The first storm system is the warmest of the three. The third storm system appears to be the most potent with the coldest air. It occurs 3/9-3/10 across the Intermountain West. Beyond 3/11, high pressure might rebuild. See analysis below. Infrared satellite […]
WY, UT, CO favored next 9 days
Tomer’s Take The storm track shifts south on/after 3/4 from the PNW/B.C. into MT, WY, UT, ID, CO, NM. This sets up a 9-day window with 3 different storm systems and major snow grand totals. The first two storm systems are back-to-back 3/4-3/7. The 3rd storm system arrives 3/9-3/10. The first storm system on 3/4-3/5 […]
