Tomer’s Take: A snow bullseye is setting up for the PNW/BC between 2/3-2/9 with feet of accumulation. Blow-off from this rich flow and a storm system also benefits ID, MT, WY, UT, CO, and CA on/after 2/5.

Love the content! How long will the high-pressure stay around for over the interior rockies ~2/10? Does it look like some storms will follow?
Hi Thomas,
Interior Rockies see snow 2/5-2/6 then some ridging weakens a storm system on 2/9-2/10. Beyond that is a storm system 2/13-2/14. So…there are some dry gaps in the flow and the 2/9-2/10 storm is trending much weaker.
