☃️ Our break from winter will be short lived as we're already tracking the next heavy snow maker. Confidence is increasing this'll be another impactful system. If you have travel plans Sun through mid-week, stay up-to-date on the latest weather forecasts. #UTwx #WinterPersists

It's absolutely amazing what you'll catch as you prep the evening balloon launch. There must have been a herd of 20 to 25 pronghorn out by our upper air building. #mtwx -video by Ryan Bernhart

There remain some details to iron out but our confidence has increased in potential impacts from an atmospheric river late Thursday into Friday. Monitor the forecast and consider preparing for the possibility of heavy rain and flooding. #cawx

With ample fresh snow especially in higher elevations, avalanche risk is considerable in many areas of Montana. Know the avalanche risks before you go out to play in back country, avoid areas with 30% or more steep grades, and always travel with a partner for safety.

An Atmospheric River is increasingly likely Thu PM-Sat. The deepest snowpack will absorb much of the rain, but the shallower snowpack below ~ 5500 ft. will pose the greatest flood concerns. Read the latest AFD for more details: bit.ly/3JkDa3b #CAwx #NVwx

The weather will turn a little warmer by the end of the week. On Friday and Saturday, a "warm" storm will bring rain to the area. The snow level will be above 9,000 feet. #CAwx

More snow? A bit. Light snow will develop overnight over N UT & SW WY, persisting into Tuesday morning. Accumulations will be light (less than 1" for valleys, up to 4" for mountains), but any snow that falls will stick to roads. Be careful during the Tuesday AM commute! #utwx

The snow showers across the #NorthernRockies this evening will translate to a mix of snow covered roadways (mainly at high elevations, passes) and black ice (at low elevations) through tonight. Beware rapidly changing conditions through Tuesday morning. #mtwx #idwx

This is not our first BLIZZARD WARNING ever issued. This is the first since VTEC coding was implemented in 2006.
Due to the potential for strong winds and heavy snow, a BLIZZARD WARNING was issued for the #LACounty and #VenturaCounty mountains from 4 am Friday to 4 pm Saturday. Snow accumulations up to 5 feet and wind gusts in excess of 55 mph are expected. #CAsnow #CAwx

Ranchers, as we enter the calving season, we have a quick product that can hopefully help you in your operations the next 2 to 3 months. It's called the CANL index. CANL stands for Cold Advisory for Newborn Livestock. For more information: wrh.noaa.gov/ggw/canl/foreca… 1/2
