Snow forecast next 8 days

Tomer’s Take

  • Heavy snow continues in Colorado and New Mexico 3/17. This is a warmer storm system so grand totals may underperform.
  • Next storm system hits MT, ID, WY, UT, CO, NM 3/19-3/22. This storm system might be a couple degrees colder. Totals might be bigger.
  • Is there another storm behind this? Maybe but confidence is low.
