Snow forecast through March 1

Tomer’s Take: Juicy northwest flow (NWF) continues with two storm systems on its heels. 14″ in 48 hours at Jackson Hole, WY with significant snow yet to fall through 2/28. Strong wind above treeline 40-60mph. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows the NWF and two areas of low pressure lined-up. Plus northern and southern jet involvement. […]

Deep bullseyes with NWF and two storm systems through 2/28

Tomer’s Take: The Northwest Flow (NWF) is underway and delivering moderate to heavy snow accumulation. Then two storm systems wrangle the moisture and spread it across the West. They also deliver strong northern and southern jet branches plus colder air. After 2/25 it’s a drier waiting game until the next trough hits the west on/after […]

Active pattern through 2/24 for West

Tomer’s Take: An ABQ low is dropping heavy snow and colder air in CO and NM through 2/15. Then a Northwest Flow (NWF) develops on/around 2/19 followed by two additional storm systems, colder air, and big totals through 2/24. 22″ in 24 hours at Wolf Creek with more on the way. 7″ in 24 hours […]

Bulleyes, Snow through 2/23

Tomer’s Take: The main storm system of the period occurs 2/13-2/15 with colder air and big totals. A storm on it’s heels 2/19-2/20 is supported by both the southern and northern jet branches. My video forecast update 2/11: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a busy Pacific with both the northern and southern jets active. […]
