Hey Astropax! Pineapple Express!!!
Check out this URL:
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/Saltlake/sat...eWv.16km.shtml That low pressure sets up south of Valdez and cranks all that warm, moist air propogating out of the eastern pacific right over the west coast. If the jet flattens out and it hits us head on... -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

If the jet flattens out and it hits us head on... I smell a splitting system. Keep your fingers crossed. That high pressure in BC is collapsing every hour. Jets are really hard to model, and if it consolidates a couple of days early... We're pulling in the same direction! -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

Regardless, if I was in California, or Colorado ;), for example, and I wanted to have a high probability of experiencing a Oootah Powder day(s), I would definitely keep a very close eye on this system and start to make my plans accordingly. I would say that right now it's about a 60/40 shot that Sunday or Monday will be a good day. From the NWS SLC Area Forecast Discussion: --- LATEST MODELS STILL DEPICT A STRONG COLD FRONT ARRIVING SATURDAY NIGHT AS A NORTHERN STREAM TROF/JET STREAK CUTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN. THERE IS ALSO A SOUTHERN STREAM PORTION THAT TRACKS THROUGH SOUTHERN CA/BAJA. GFS ENSEMBLES IN RELATIVE GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE H5 TROF TIMING AND PATH. HIGH CLOUD COVER THICKENS ON SATURDAY IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM WITHIN SOUTHWEST-WEST FLOW. IF THIS COLD FRONT ARRIVES AS PROGGED IT SHOULD FINALLY MIX OUT THE VALLEYS AND BRING A SHOT OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO MOST NORTHERN AREAS. --- -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro/03-04/index.htm --- |

There's another one right behind it, and that high pressure has collapsed into Washington State. Whistler is getting it now. The propogation is deteriorating WNW of Hawaii but that's 2000 miles of ocean this storm covers. I'm a big fan of light, continental powder snow, so I'll wait. The inversion is over. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

Montana is getting hammered tonight. There is a low pressure system tagging along behind at 40 degrees N latittude and 140 degrees W longitude. 72 hours and counting. And the moster behind it is propagating from ESE of Hawaii to N of the Allutians in the Bering Straight. When these storm systems dump on the 8" of loose surface hoar we've accumulated, people are going to die if they don't use good route finding and decision skills. I'll be digging some pits before I trust my ass in any natural avalanche chutes. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |
