Tomer’s Take: A shifting Western pattern delivers 3-6 inches of new snow to the Tetons today (12/10), generates 30-70mph wind gusts across CO’s Continental Divide and light snow, and eventually might force the development of a storm system in Southern CO/Northern NM by 12/13-12/14. Pattern remains mostly dry for CA through 12/18, and minimal snow for UT’s Wasatch.
A windy storm system is moving into the Northeast with rain initially at the ski resorts of VT/NH/ME changing over to snow late tonight into 12/11.
My forecast video:
It’s a brutal day across Colorado’s Continental Divide including Front Range high peaks, Indian Peaks, Longs Peak, and Cameron Pass zones. 30-70mph gusts, single digit air temps above 12k, and snow shrouding with low visibility.
Below, the view from Loveland Ski Area at 12,700ft paints the picture:
