Snow forecast next 8 days

Tomer’s Take Nor` Easter on tap for this weekend, but track could be too far east and pull the biggest snow away from many ski areas. Minor cold front races through CO and NM on 1/27. Larger storm system possible for the Intermountain West the first few days of February. Pattern change with lower pressures […]

Nor` Easter; Western February Outlook

Tomer’s Take Nor` Easter remains on track for parts of the Northeast. The biggest totals appear to cover MA, NH, and ME. Moderate to heavy accumulation in VT. A minor cold front races through MT, WY, CO, and NM on 1/27. February appears to turn more active across the West with falling pressures. Will it […]

A look into early February

Tomer’ Take Two cold fronts pierce the eastern periphery of the western high pressure ridge through 1/25 favoring MT, ID, WY, UT, CO, NM. The overall pattern appears to flip by early February with lower atmospheric pressures and a dipping jet stream across the West. This would suggest a shift to a more active, colder […]

Tonga eruption sent atmospheric shockwaves around the world

GOES-17 high resolution visible satellite captured the Hunga Tonga volcano blowing its top. How high did it shoot? Professor John Peters suggests it might’ve reached the Stratospheric canopy. That’s over 100,000 feet or higher into the vertical atmosphere. Here’s the Infrared channel from GOES-17. Notice the shockwaves –> The magnitude of the eruption is being […]
