Long-Range Weather Forecast thru Spring Break

By January 15, 2025No Comments

Jan 15, 2025   Spring Break Forecast


Our fourth set of predictions projected out 66 days from now to March 20th. We are just beginning to work thru our third set, beginning with the storm hitting the Pacific Northwest late tomorrow.  

LRC Model from Weather 2020

Taking a look at one of the early runs from the LRC model, you can see a few storms that stick out as possible 12+ powder days.  Feb 17, 23, 31/April 1-2.

We’ll keep an eye on these storms and see how the model run performs.  Other notables, you can look at the chart of counties with ski resorts and the projected liquid water equivalent (top chart) and snowfall for the month of February.  We are still tweaking the model to get the proper output–so take this with a grain of salt.

One of our long-range goals is to find a way to predict large storms, in our “endless search for powder”.  Each year we get better at reading the teleconnections in an attempt to solve their cycle lengths. The LRC model is one of these tools, still in its infancy, that helps with the other influences.
