Forecast
Summary
The first wave is thru the PNW and Lake Tahoe and performed about what we expected. The second wave will be moving in the Pacific Northwest tonight and will slide into Tahoe tomorrow. Heavy snow expected for the Cascades where 6-10 is likely for Crystal Mountain, Mt Baker, Mt Hood and Mt Bachelor by late tonight. Tomorrow expect another round of the same.
That system moves into Lake Tahoe Tomorrow afternoon with light snow expected, around 3-6 likely along the Crest with the highest totals when system 3 arrives on Thursday.
Utah and Colorado
The storm that came thru yesterday is hitting Utah and Colorado as I write this. Expect good totals for Utah’s Cottonwood resorts in the 6-12 category by tomorrow morning. For Colorado, a bit more modest, with 3-6 for most mountains with the higher elevations faring the best. Not much expected for the southern mountains with this storm.
Third Wave Friday
Friday the third wave hits and this one is taking a good path for future cycles for Lake Tahoe. This could be a monster when it returns and we have the right setup, but for now we are in a unamplified pattern. This should hit around 6 am as of now.
