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 […]

PNW Bullseye; Snow Forecast through 2/10

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 […]

Storm System 2/5; PNW Bullseye

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 […]

Snow Forecast Through 2/8

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 […]

Western Snow, Pattern Pivot

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! […]

Snow forecast through 2/5

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 […]
