Tomer’s Take: A storm system is spinning up in Southern CO and Northern NM through 12/14 with moderate to heavy snow accumulation. This area of low pressure then turns into a coastal storm system for the East/NE with mainly rain on 12/18. California stays dry until late 12/17 into 12/18 when a wave of rain/snow arrives.
My forecast update:
