The Week Ahead

Tomer’s Take: Storm #1 continues into 1/8 and then exits CO/NM. Storm #2 arrives 1/9-1/11. Storm #3 is the most interesting and most significant with Arctic air, robust jet support, high snow ratios, and big accumulation. Feet of grand total accumulation across most mountain ranges by 1/16. The Wasatch totals with storm #3 are trending up, and the Teton Range is split.

In the Northeast, the next storm system arrives 1/9-1/10, and storm #3 1/12-1/13.

My afternoon video forecast update:

Current Setup

Storm #1 moves through CO/WY/UT/NM and departs CO/NM afternoon 1/8.

Storm #2 follows storm #1. Storm #3 is lurking.

Orange/red = drier air aloft.

Forecast Totals

Grand Totals 1/7-1/16. Storm #3 1/12-1/14 generates biggest snow totals.

Storm #1.

Storm #2.

Storm #3. Confidence is lowest with storm #3.

Wasatch totals are trending up.

Teton totals are split. It’s possible that once the Arctic front blows through that snow accumulation tapers off.

Northeast, next storm system 1/9-1/10 with 70mph gusts and heavy snow changing over to rain/snow or rain in VT/NH/ME.

Another storm system 1/12-1/13 with moderate to heavy snow accumulation.
