There are two storm systems lined-up for the West. The first storm is minor. The 2nd storm system is the one to watch for CA, UT, WY, and CO.
The first storm system is already moving across the intermountain west with minor amounts of rain/snow depending on elevation. The 2nd storm system sitting over the Pacific will hit CA on 11/8-11/9 with a weak atmospheric river influence (see forecast chart below). Snow levels at Tahoe start high around 10,000ft then fall to 6,000ft as the storm progresses.
That storm system will then deliver colder air by 11/9/-11/10 and snow to parts of UT, WY, and CO. Click to enlarge my snow forecast:
In Colorado, the best accumulations occur in the Central and Northern Mountain zones with less in Southern Colorado.
All the while, a steady stream of snowfall will continue in parts of the PNW including Whistler/Blackcomb high alpine.
Chris-I’m looking for your chart comparing sunrise/sunset during Daylight Savings Time & without. Can you send to me? Thx!!
Hi Kim – I just chose two dates (June & January) and looked at what those times would be without Fall Back/Spring Forward.

Love the “Mountain Weather Update” Or MWU for your snow slaying vernacular. Stay true you’ll always be a Crusader in my book.
Thank you! I’ll keep it coming. Chris
