Overview of the Week
Meteorologist Chris Tomer is tracking multiple storm systems that are set to impact the western US and parts of the Northeast. The West can expect a series of storms bringing snow to various regions, while the Northeast will see a warm, primarily rain event initially, potentially turning to snow later.
Regional Snow Forecasts
Big Sky, the Wasatch, the Tetons, Colorado, interior BC, the Pacific Northwest, and Tahoe are all in line for significant snowfall. The Wasatch will see moderate snow followed by heavier accumulations, while Colorado expects moderate to heavy snow, with some areas potentially getting up to a foot. Interior BC and the Pacific Northwest are looking at a rich feed of snow later in the period.
Specific Locations
Alta, Utah, is forecasted to receive substantial snow, with the heaviest snowfall expected late on March 5 and throughout March 6. Eastern Colorado may experience blizzard-like conditions, and areas south and west of Denver could see significant snow accumulations.
Looking Ahead
Multiple storm systems are lined up to deliver more snow across the West. Between March 8 and 11, the Pacific Northwest and interior BC are expected to benefit from a rich flow of snow. The Wasatch and parts of Colorado are predicted to have bullseyes of heavy snowfall.
