Who’s favored this week for best snow?

Tomer’s Take:

  • There are no big storm cycles on the immediate horizon for the West.
  • This week favors the Intermountain West including MT, WY, CO, NM. Total snowfall next 8 days is 10″ or less for all resorts in this grouping.
  • Beyond 11/20, the PNW turns more active as high pressure slides east and a trough of low pressure replaces with a powerful jet stream. Details and graphic below.

Forecast jet stream flow valid 11/22. Big pattern change here. Powerful jet knifing in with low pressure replacing the high pressure ridge. This would equate to wind, colder temps, and snowfall.

    Thanks for keeping the snow away for a couple weeks. I’m super busy at work so I won’t be missing anything.😂😂🤔
