Updated April 10, 2017 (OLD) TAHOE --> Across the western US later Tuesday through later Thursday (afternoon/ evening) it looks like Tahoe is the place to be for new snow, with the best snowfall Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, and snow levels starting near 7,000 feet or so, dropping to near 6,000 feet (below all Tahoe area resort base elevations) as strong late season low pressure moves in and through. A good foot of new snow is possible, with 1.5+ feet above 7,000 feet Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. Dynamics + moisture make this look like a bigger than 1 foot storm, but we will see... show up on Thursday for the freshies, with lighter snow showers continuing on a colder Thursday. The Cascades of Oregon/ Washington will also see more new snow, as will northern Idaho and northwest Montana. The rest of the west looks mostly dry. CM LONGER RANGE... Sunday through next Thursday looks snowy for Tahoe-Mammoth, with the storms that hit the west coast (full strength) weakening as they move inland. Snow is expected for the northern and central Rocky Mountains and northern Utah, Colorado as well. Resorts from Jackson Hole to Big Sky, Sun Valley to Whitefish, are all expected to see new snow, though many resorts will be closed by this point. The backcountry will be freshened up though. CM
Updated for Friday, July 21, 2017, at 8:00am...
A moisture plume has shifted to across the area, with increased shower and thunderstorm potential in Aspen this afternoon/ evening (some good soaking showers), and the rest of western Colorado. By this weekend we expect some drying as a weather disturbance moves southeast and away, dropping thunderstorm and showers to isolated tomorrow afternoon. We expect mostly sunny weather until next Tuesday and Wednesday, when increased moisture is dragged across the area due to low pressure moving into the northwest US, channeling moisture across the area from the desert southwest. CM
LONGER RANGE...
The increase in thunderstorms and showers continues most of next week and weekend as high pressure ridging goes from overhead, to slightly east, as low pressure moves across the Northwest US and channels monsoon moisture from the desert southwest across Colorado. CM
