Next Storm System 3/5-3/9

Tomer’s Take: The next storm system is already spreading moderate snow over southern ID and it rolls into the Tetons this afternoon through the morning of 3/6 with heavy snow accumulation. This frontal boundary slides across the Wasatch on 3/7 with moderate snow accumulation. The storm system strengthens in CO/NM on 3/8-3/9 with enhanced accumulation. Then the pattern shifts north to favor the PNW/BC/Northern Tier 3/10-3/12 before diving south into UT/WY/CO 3/13-3/14.
