Three storm systems lined-up through 12/12

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.

Pattern through 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 […]

Storm #2: Adjusting the forecast totals

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 […]

Three storm combo for West and big totals

Tomer’s Take: The pattern is about to turn a lot more active for the West with three different storm systems lined-up through 12/3. Current Setup Visible satellite shows a crowded storm track with several low pressure systems lined-up in the Pacific. The southern branch of the jet stream is also active. Western Jet Stream Storm […]
