Pattern Discussion
Next storm on the list is the Jan 6th storm for Colorado, similar to the 3-4th storm it is running a little late but will fall within the tolerance with this point in the cycle predictions. We have two more storms after that that was forecasted in the 3rd release of predictions made December 10th.
Free Snow Concierge–Remember, the Long-Range Forecast Predictions can be projected out for the rest of the season. We don’t release them because we like to “fine tune” the dates of storms; especially because we dial in the forecast by just 1 day’s tolerance. You can email me at Mike@FutureSnow.co anytime to take advantage of this free service. We can tell you when and where to go and give you a personalized forecast for your trip.
This next storm (Jan 6) will impact the Denver metro area and the front range beginning tonight and tomorrow. This system is not very strong and will produce 2-day totals for the northern, resorts along I-70 and divide resorts with 2-4 or 3-6 on the high side. In the southern ranges, this could be a little better with Wolf Creek, Silverton and Telluride in the 3-6 range with the high side of 8″.
There should be a small wave around Friday and then a bigger storm that follows below.
Jan 11-12th Storm (Predicted)
PNW Storm
This storm hits overnight Friday night and model forecast has the strongest concentration along the northern Cascades. This is still quite a way off so that can change. We will go into detail for this storm around the 9th.
Utah and Colorado
This storm closes out the 12/10 predictions with good totals for all mountains in Utah and Colorado in the 4-8 range with the high side of 8-16. We’ll dial in the numbers once we get closer.
