Tomer’s Take: The jet stream shifts north favoring the Northern Rockies early in the period. I’m still forecasting a fast NW Flow, but it’s trending much weaker. I’ve reduced most forecast snow totals. Then the pattern shifts south with lower atmospheric pressures across the West by the end of January.
My forecast video 1/22:
Forecast Pattern
Forecast jet stream valid 1/31. The high pressure ridge off the West Coast retrogrades opening the door for lower atmospheric pressures across the West and West Coast. This allows for snow to return to CA.
Forecast Totals
Forecast snow totals (inches) valid 1/22-1/24.
Forecast snow totals (inches) valid 1/25-1/31.
Forecast snow totals (inches) valid 1/22-1/31.
