Tomer snow forecast 11/9/2021

A northwest flow develops behind the main storm system between 11/11-11/13. That’s why you see additional snow accumulation in Wyoming, parts of Montana and Idaho, and the Central and Northern Mountains of Colorado.

Mid-level wind flow (~18,000ft) and Northwest Wind Flow, GFS interpretation 11/9/2021.
