• High pressure rebuilds briefly.
• Storm track shifts north 3/13-3/18 into the Pacific Northwest (PNW), British Columbia (B.C.), Banff Area, ID, MT, WY. Feet of snow accumulation likely at Whistler/Blackcomb, Stevens Pass, Mount Baker, Mount Rainier. This appears to be a weak atmospheric river setup. Snow levels will have to be watched.
