OVERVIEW:
Snow is currently ramping up for southern Colorado and northern New Mexico (Snowing moderate at Telluride- Purgatory, and Taos). This eventually slices through central and northern Colorado with winds shifting from S-SW to W-Northwest. The long term forecast looks really exciting to the extent that several feet are likely for many areas of the west during Thanksgiving week.
EXTENDED POWDER
The extended forecast looks really exciting! I am going to be brief and to the point.
A decent trough enters the Pacific Northwest, BC by Friday night or Saturday. Decent amounts of POW are likely for the Cascades this weekend (OR/WA). That system takes a path while weakening somewhat over Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado early next week (Moderate amounts likely in many areas). The models seem a bit more bullish for Colorado especially Monday night into Tuesday. Peak snowfall for the west will start this weekend for the Cascades and end over the Rockies early next week (Monday-Tuesday timeframe).
It even gets better! Models show another deep trough moving ashore mid next week, taking Pacific Moisture on a southern path along the California coast before moving inland over the central Rockies by Thanksgiving. Snow is likely for the Sierra and much of the west during this timeframe. Amounts may be significant in some areas but with this storm being 7 days out confidence is only moderate at this point. Stay tuned to a snowy forecast.
Sneak peek at the total snowfall for many areas of the west during the next 7 days!
This is combined snow from 3 systems including the one underway on Thursday.
It's about time! Game on! Loving this map!
