Heights coming in higher than forecast across the west including in the base of our shortwave nearing SLC this morning.

00z ECMWF has a better handle on things here than 00z GFS.

I'd expect the higher heights out west to help favor a slightly more amplified storm on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/TA904h8jSE
