Next storm system for the West

Tomer’s Take

  • Next storm system hits MT, ID, WY first then UT, CO, NM between 3/8-3/11.
  • This is a colder, more potent storm system versus the previous two storm systems.
  • High pressure rebuilds across the Intermountain West starting on 3/11.
  • Storm track shifts north into the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Banff Area through 3/15. Snow totals could be significant.
  • After 3/15, the storm track could shift south back into the Intermountain West.

The storm track might shift south into the West after 3/15. Below, notice the forecast lower pressures anomalies valid 3/18. If this occurs then expect snow and colder temps in UT, WY, CO, NM.
