I started Sunday morning off with a kettlebell workout. It helps my focus.
The most consistent new snow through 12/4 will continue to fall across the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and western Alberta. The problem for most of the Lower 48 Intermountain West continues to be this bulletproof area of high pressure running two standard deviations (higher pressures) than the 30-year average. My gut says it will take a couple storm systems to break it down. Until then warmer and drier than normal conditions prevail.
Notice on this water vapor satellite image the amount of red/orange colors across the West. That represents drier air.
When will it break? The latest data suggests 12/5. But, like I said above, it will take more than one storm system to break it down completely. In the world of meteorology we call this a storm cycle. In other words, it can’t be a “one and done”.
Here’s my snow forecast between 11/28-12/4, click to enlarge:
