Snow forecast next 8 days

Tomer’s Take

  • A minor, fast cold front delivers a few snow showers on Tuesday in parts of WY, CO, and NM. Light accumulation.
  • High pressure rebuilds through 3/28.
  • The exception is the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, northern ID, and northwest MT where the storm track continues.
  • A storm system hits CA on 3/29 then moves east into ID, UT, MT, WY, CO, NM through 4/1.

Water vapor satellite shows the storm track and small cold front lined-up for WY, CO, NM. A big ridge of high pressure builds over CA.
