Pattern Discussion (Day 25)
PNW and Canada
We are in day 24 of the 24-25 pattern. This is the second wave of the storm in the Pacific Northwest. We have increased our totals for the Cascades. It’s a big storm day for the Pacific Northwest, especially for the southern Cascade resorts Mt Hood Meadows/Timberline, Mt Bachelor, and Hoodoo where 2-3 feet is probable by Friday night.
For the northern Cascades, not as bullish but still decent, Crystal Mountain in the 10-18 range, Baker and Stevens Pass in the 6-12 range. Snow levels low, 3-4000 ft.
In the Alpine at Whistler Blackcomb and Sun Peaks, we are looking at snow totals of 8-16 for Whistler and 4-10 for Sun Peaks. Revelstoke 6-12 and Banff 4-8.
Another storm Monday and Tuesday. This is the Nov 4th storm on Test Predictions Chart.
Utah and Colorado
I misread the Nov 2nd storm last cycle, that system won’t hit. Last cycle, I saw a low-pressure system that I thought when it came back would hit the Cottonwoods and Colorado. It was the monsoon that I was seeing, the storm is there, just southeast. It will fire off thunderstorms from the Texas panhandle to Kansas City, on the 2-3rd, that will be useful when it returns in the spring cycles. Next season, along with our Hurricane predictions we are going to include Tornado chasing forecasts.
