January’s final stretch; February pattern change

Tomer’s Take

  • A fast moving cold front delivers light snow accumulation to MT, UT, WY, UT, CO, NM between 1/24-1/25.
  • Cold air and 2-3 Alberta Clippers this week for the Northeast. A larger storm system possible this weekend in VT, NH, ME.
  • Pattern could flip in February with snow returning to the West.

Infrared satellite and storm track shows the Western high pressure ridge.

February Pattern Change?

Confidence is growing for a pattern change starting February 1. Lower pressures could replace the big Western high pressure ridge. Snow could return to California for the first time in a month.

Pressure anomalies valid 1/1/2022, GFS interpretation.

    We’ve already had two clippers hit us in the Midwest now we’re bracing for the bitter cold
