Forecast Summary

The fourth storm in the series moves out of Utah today around lunchtime and works its way through Colorado today, exiting late tonight.  Storm 5 moves into California this morning and hits Lake Tahoe around noon.  This is not a Tahoe like storm, as the winds will be mild and freezing levels around lake level.  There is a little ridge that is disrupting the flow that is pointed out by the squiggly line.  

That will work itself out by Wednesday afternoon, as the next storm hits the coast.  These next series of charts show the jet stream with the next storm carved out of the flow.  That will grow as the storm moves towards the coast by Wednesday morning.  The last shot is the surface chart of the incoming storm.
