Deep Bullseyes; Snow forecast through 2/27

Tomer’s Take: A northwest flow (NWF) and two storm systems are lined-up late 2/18 through 2/24. A few deep snow accumulation bullseyes are likely along with strong wind and colder air. Then it’s a waiting game for the next trough late February into early March.

My forecast video 2/18:

Current Setup

Water vapor satellite shows a busy Pacific and split jet flow. You can see the NWF taking shape.

Forecast Pattern

Forecast jet stream valid 2/27. It’s a waiting game for the tough sitting over the Pacific. Until it arrives we’ll see high pressure ridging over the Intermountain West.

Forecast Timing

Forecast radar/satellite valid 2/18-2/23.
