WY, UT, CO favored next 9 days

Tomer’s Take

• The storm track shifts south on/after 3/4 from the PNW/B.C. into MT, WY, UT, ID, CO, NM.
• This sets up a 9-day window with 3 different storm systems and major snow grand totals.
• The first two storm systems are back-to-back 3/4-3/7. The 3rd storm system arrives 3/9-3/10.
• The first storm system on 3/4-3/5 is the warmest of the three.
• The Northeast can expect a few different storm systems. The initial storm system on 3/6 is warm but the final two storm systems next week look colder with heavier snow potential.

Infrared satellite shows the dipping jet stream building across the West. This will set the stage for 3 different storm systems across the Intermountain West over the next 9 days. The southern jet branch might also contribute.
