SOUTHWEST CANADA FORECAST – FEB 20, 2019
Featured Image
REST OF FEBRUARY: High pressure ridging aloft builds in across the Gulf of Alaska, and Alaska, which is the usual source region for our more "juicy" storms that drop powder+ days...
Instead, we expect storms to drop in fairly frequently from out of the north, a drier region over land, for mostly moisture starved low pressure systems clipping most of western Canada with 2.5 (1 inch) to 7.5cm (3 inches) snowfalls, some to 15cm (6 inches of snow). This is for the most part through the rest of this week and 1/2 of next, before a down time of no snow and some more sun Feb 27-28. Revelstoke (which has the most vertical in North America, and arguably some of the best terrain also) will be more favored as it sits further east and more in the path of northern storms dropping in. CM

MARCH: In early March we see some Pacific storm energy move into western Canada, with warmer air and some possible snow level issues between March 1-5 for coastal-area resorts like Whistler, and for the next 2 weeks through March 8, 2 to 3 feet (60-90cm) of new snow accumulation is possible, while 10-15 March we start seeing 60-90cm per week across the region. CM
