Can anyone help me out with what is going on for the storm track this weekend through next week?
I've read the OpenSnow reports, but things are a little all over the place (and seemingly outdated) at the moment.
They've got Utah getting 5-9" Monday (is this high confidence or low?), Tetons drying out after the weekend and things warming up from the north, but cooling down in the Northern Rockies. Um, what?
Where is this storm track supposedly headed? I thought it was coming off the coast, moving it's way eastward with a likely NE wind direction pushing snow away from CO/UT. But now they have it dropping down briefly into Utah on Monday, but then where does that moisture disappear to? Is it just breaking up and moving East so it will only hit CO lightly mid next week?
Reason is I'm flying into SLC next week (got a weekend class there Feb 10-11), but may try and hop an earlier flight this weekend if it's worth it. But I don't know whether to focus on CO, Tetons, Utah or what. Just looking for best chances at this point.
Also, on a more general note - any insight/guides/tutorials on how to use SNOTEL, NWS, etc would be much appreciated. I can follow the graphs they put in OpenSnow, but I don't know how I can generate or look at those myself. The best I use right now is https://digital.weather.gov/ but it's so slow and it seems like I can do better.
Thank ya'll!
