Storm is still nearly stationary off the coast. Waves of moisture will rotate inland overnight. 6-12 inches should fall up on the mtn. Snowfall picks up one last time Tuesday as the main low finally moves in off the ocean. Snow showers could continue into Tuesday night before tapering off. Another 6-12 inches could fall with the main low. Total 3 day storm accumulation would be around 2 feet in town and 3 - 4 feet on the mtn.
Next storm is just off the coast by Wednesday. This is a big storm with subtropical moisture that was forecasted to hit us on Wednesday. This was all the hype last week as this storm would have sat over us like the current one and dumped another 3-5 feet on us for a total of 6-10 ft. in one week. It now looks like it will stall off the coast due to a big trough to be carved out over the Eastern U.S. that will block the high from progressing East that is over the Rockies. This will put a jam in the flow of storms for a couple days with some sun and warmer temps for the Dew tour!
Sometime around Fri-Sat. a storm will come out of Alaska & possibly tap into the moisture from the storm stalled off the coast. Latest models show this storm bringing quite a bit of snow next weekend as it sits off the coast and rotates in moisture for a few days similar to the current storm. We could still see 6-10 ft. for a total between the current storm and this storm, but it will just take a few extra days.
Models show the storms continuing to drop down from Alaska thru the end of the month & into March. According to Ed Berry's latest discussion, he believes the ridge will hold over Hawaii for at least the next couple weeks and possibly into spring. This should leave the storm door open for a while as storms slide over the ridge and into CA. BA
