A minor cold front is sliding through Colorado. More importantly, a larger storm system is taking aim at CA and then UT, ID, WY, and CO. This is the storm system to watch for moderate to heavy snow totals.
California gets the precipitation first. It starts tonight and continues on Tuesday. Snow levels initially start high around 9,000ft (cutting down on overall snow accumulation) then drops quickly to 6,000ft. There is a weak and brief atmospheric river contribution to this storm system.
This storm system then pushes snow into Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, southern Montana, and Colorado.
As a bonus, behind this storm system the atmospheric flow shifts and becomes northwest favoring a residual snow pattern on the high peaks with some additional accumulations.
Here are my forecast accumulations:
| Mid-Mountain Totals | 11/8-11/9 | 11/9-11/11 |
| Kirkwood | 6″ | |
| Mammoth | 10″ | |
| Alta | 10″ | |
| Jackson Hole | 5″ | 7″ |
| Park City | 9″ | |
| Steamboat | 10″ | |
| Vail | 5″ | |
| Loveland | 6″ | |
| Berthoud Pass | 6″ | |
| Whistler/Blackcomb | 10″ | 6″ |
| Revelstoke | 2″ | 1″ |
