Tomer’s Take: The final storm system in this cycle is moving into the PNW/BC. Overrunning light to moderate snow continues across the Tetons through this afternoon then the pattern dries out for a few days. This storm brushes UT on 11/7 with light accumulation, and hits CO on 11/8-11/9 with light to moderate accumulation. All […]

Snow for Tetons, Wasatch, and Colorado
Tomer’s Take: It’s currently snowing across the Tetons with 6-10 inches next 48 hours mid-mountain and higher. Then snow brushes the Wasatch 11/7, and Colorado 11/8-11/9 along with colder air. My forecast video:
11/4 Mountain Weather Update; Snow for UT & CO
Tomer’s Take: I’m forecasting 2-3 different storm systems through 11/11. Snow brushes UT on 11/7 and tracks through CO on 11/8-11/9. Forecast Jet Stream Valid 11/8. Notice the dip in the jet over UT/NV/WY. This is the storm system that brushes UT and tracks through Colorado. Valid 11/11. Storm track favors the Northern Tier. Forecast […]
Snow forecast next 9 days
Tomer’s Take: Two storm systems are lined-up through 11/10. One additional moderate intensity atmospheric river (AR) surge occurs 11/5 in the PNW/BC then it concludes. Utah and Colorado get light to moderate snow accumulation 11/7-11/8. My forecast video: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows both storm systems over the Pacific and AR flow. Orange/red = […]
11/2 Mountain Weather Update; Teton snow inbound
Tomer’s Take: Three different storm systems loaded with Atmospheric River (AR) moisture hit the PNW/BC through 11/10 with overrunning snow in Banff, MT, and WY. The Tetons are in good position for heavy snow accumulation. My forecast video: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows all three areas of low pressure lined up. Atmospheric River Forecast […]
Atmospheric River & Three Storm Systems through 11/9
Tomer’s Take: Three separate storm systems hit the PNW through 11/9. The first two storm systems deliver a moderate surge of atmospheric river (AR) moisture. Overrunning snow is likely in Banff, MT, WY, and eventually UT and CO although to a lesser degree. Snow levels in the PNW start high. My forecast video: Sunrise this […]
Atmospheric River for PNW/BC with Teton Range snow bullseye
Tomer’s Take: Two weak to moderate intensity atmospheric river (AR) surges hits the PNW/BC between 11/2-11/8 with overrunning snow in Banff, MT and especially WY where a snow bullseye is possible. Snow levels start high in the PNW/BC with snow at higher elevations. My forecast video: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a powerful Pacific […]
Atmospheric River hits PNW 11/2-11/6
Tomer’s Take: The jet stream shifts north favoring the PNW through 11/6, and it’ll reach far west into the Pacific setting up a ‘weak to moderate intensity’ atmospheric river (AR). Snow levels will start high. This pattern also favors the higher elevations of BC and Banff for snowfall. Aerial of Crested Butte Mountain taken today […]
Snow Hits Colorado 10/28-10/29 with Final Cold Front
Tomer’s Take: The current storm cycle ends with one final cold front that hits Colorado with the coldest air of the season and 8-24″ of snow accumulation. Strong jet dynamics and temperature efficiency will help generate the snow. Colorado mountain temps dip below zero late 10/29 into 10/30. Wyoming mountain temps dip below zero 10/28, […]
10/25 Update: Western Snow, CO Trending Up
Tomer’s Take: Two cold fronts remain on track to deliver snow and the coldest air of the season so far through 10/29. Snow totals in Colorado are trending higher 10/28-10/29. Air temps in Colorado’s mountains drop below zero late 10/29 into 10/30. Air temps in Wyoming’s mountains drop below zero 10/28, 10/29, 10/30. My forecast […]
