Snow Continues 1/18 then Warmer Pacific Pattern Engages

Tomer’s Take: Snow continues early 1/18 in UT & WY and through midday in CO. Then the pattern shifts 1/19-1/26 to a warmer Pacific pattern with a strong Subtropical jet.

My afternoon forecast video update:

Current Setup

A storm system riding a WNW Flow continues in CO/WY/ID/MT/WA/BC.

Notice the large trough sitting over the Pacific. That is our next pattern for the West.

Orange/red = drier air aloft.

Radar at 2:35pm: Snow following WNW Flow.

Forecast Jet Stream

WNW Flow gradually exits moving East.

New warmer Pacific pattern engages 1/19-1/26. Strong Subtropical jet blows in waves of precipitation.

Forecast Totals
