Long-Range Forecast Predictions
It’s getting to be late in the season, February already, and you can tell by the list because it is becoming harder to screenshot the entire list without compromising the resolution. If any of you know a better way you can comment below. Perhaps converting into a PDF, but that’s too much work, right?
This is one of the harder seasons to forecast with the Ridge Pattern screwing up our usual average around 89%. We are currently sitting at 85.7%. I have long thought that 95% is about as high as you could go, and we haven’t come close to that percentage. We have teased the 92-93 range only to be set back with Busts.
The next storm is on track and then we’ll enter the last set of predictions. The last storm on the list is still 45 days out and we will release our final forecast thru May soon.
Long-Range Forecast thru Seasons End
Our long-range forecast for each region thru seasons end, featuring the Weather 2020 model will be out this week. Here is a glance at Lake Tahoe.
Forecast
Snow showers in the Pacific Northwest as the system moves thru this afternoon and by evening, the atmospheric river will invade the Cascades. Heavy snow tonight for Lake Tahoe with lowering snow levels when Alaskan air arrives tonight and into tomorrow. Snow levels will drop below 4000 early tomorrow morning.
Expect 8-12 for areas along the crest overnight with another 10-20 tomorrow. Winds will be an impact with steady winds in the 25-35 range gusting to 55 mph at base level. Ridgetop winds in the 70’s.
Not much happening for Utah and Colorado until Wednesday, this will be another one of the northern track storms. On the Predictions list the next significant storm will hit Feb 7th and it is on time.
