Forecast Summary
Snow today from the southern Cascades down to Lake Tahoe, Utah and Colorado. This system will move out of Tahoe tonight, early tomorrow morning in Utah. Colorado gets going today with the first round of energy hitting the north central part of the state. There will be a second wave of moisture, that will bring reinforcements on Tuesday. You can see this second wave of energy below.
Here is an animated GIF from the 500 millibar level, so you can see how it moves. This chart is the wave energy from about halfway up in the atmosphere. It is the best view of the cycling pattern.
