Tomer’s Take: Lingering light snow in WY & CO on 1/18. Then a new warmer Pacific pattern engages the West 1/19-1/27. Air temps will be warmer, and a strong Subtropical jet will deliver 1-2 southern track areas of low pressure.
Snow levels in CA start at 7500′ late 1/19 then increase to 8000′ late 1/23.
My forecast update video:
It’s a powder day in the Tetons! Jackson Hole is reporting 11 inches in 24 hours.
It’s also a powder day at Vail with 9 inches in 24 hours.
