The hot spot this weekend is the Pacific Northwest for heaviest precipitation with only light snowfall across the Intermountain West. Notice on the satellite image where the blue/green clouds are located: PNW and British Columbia. Red/orange colors represent drier areas.
A large dome of high pressure will shield California from any significant snow over the next 7 days. Looking further down the road, the high pressure might start to break down late mid to late next week. Here’s a look at the storm track on Wednesday of next week 11/16-11/17.
As for the Intermountain West (CO, MT, WY, UT, NM), i’m not forecasting much snow this weekend. Next week there are two fast-moving, minor storm systems lined-up.
Here’s my snow forecast, click to enlarge:

Hi Chris,
I really appreciate your blog posts. Specifically because they are brief and focused on what I am interested in as a climber and skier.
Secondly I appreciate that the graphics can be enlarged so that my old eyes can see them a little better.
Thanks for putting together this blog, I read it every time.
Thanks, Rodney! Appreciate the feedback. Chris
MVM-
So its quality control time sir. You got A basin for 5in and Keystone for 4in over the next 8 days. I’ll be counting…
Don’t worry about adding my local mtn, Perfect North. Although sometimes we get some river rain/sleet/snow mix plus it dumped a half inch of frost this week. Does that count? Cheers!
Ok thanks, Randall, let me know. Amounts look very light for the lower 48 with this pattern. An inch here, an inch there.
Chris
