Tomer’s Take A series of minor, fast-moving storm systems race through the Intermountain West through 4/9. A larger storm system hits the Pacific Northwest 4/3-4/5 with significant high elevation snow accumulation. April storm systems are normally warmer and snow levels run higher. Infrared satellite shows the storm track and storm systems lined-up. April April is […]
Tomer’s Take 2-3 different fast-moving, minor storm systems hit the West through 4/8. These are warmer storm systems with higher snow levels at times. Spring skiing is in full swing. Most ski areas start closing in April (see below). Water vapor satellite shows the storm track and storm systems lined-up. Closing Dates Colorado ski area […]
Tomer’s Take A warm March storm system is moving through the Intermountain West. Snow levels start high then gradually drop. This will cut down on overall accumulation. The biggest totals occur in Colorado above 9,000ft where 4-12″ is possible. A second smaller, minor storm system races through 3/31-4/1. A similar small, minor storm system races […]
Tomer’s Take Abnormally warm temps are likely this weekend across the West with 50s and 60s at the base of many ski areas. High pressure stays in control through 3/28 then a storm system hits CA and moves east, 3/28-4/1. Confidence is low on what happens after 4/1. This storm system runs into a very […]
Tomer’s Take Big high pressure builds across the West through 3/28. Abnormally warm temperatures likely. Spring skiing is in full swing. Then a storm system hits CA on 3/28 and moves east into ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, NM 3/29-4/2. This storm system will run into warmer temps and some of the precipitation will start […]
Tomer’s Take High pressure builds with Spring skiing through this weekend. Warmer temps at most ski areas. The storm track shifts into the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, northern ID, northwest MT through 3/28. On 3/28 a storm system hits CA then moves east into ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, and NM through 4/1. Water vapor […]
Tomer’s Take A minor, fast cold front delivers a few snow showers on Tuesday in parts of WY, CO, and NM. Light accumulation. High pressure rebuilds through 3/28. The exception is the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, northern ID, and northwest MT where the storm track continues. A storm system hits CA on 3/29 then moves […]
Tomer’s Take At one point, the current Western storm system looked like it might develop into a major snowstorm in Colorado. Now it’s minor. High pressure rebuilds 3/22-3/27. A new Western storm system hits California on 3/27 then moves east into UT, ID, WY, MT, CO, NM on 3/28-3/29. That’s followed by an active storm […]
Tomer’s Take The next Western storm system hits the West Coast today 3/19. Then it moves east into ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, NM. Storm is trending weaker overall. In Colorado and New Mexico on 3/21, earlier notions of a strong, deep low pressure are becoming less likely. Then high pressure rebuilds. Water vapor satellite […]
Tomer’s Take The next storm system hits the West Coast late 3/18 into 3/19 then moves east. It hits ID, WY, MT, UT on 3/19-3/20. It hits CO, NM afternoon of 3/20 into early 3/22. High pressure rebuilds on/after 3/22. Infrared satellite shows the storm track and next storm system lined-up for the West. 3/19-3/22 […]
