2026 Foothills thread

Could just be a blip. They like to waffle back and forth at times. The more north/south the orientation is the better for us and it bumped just a tad more east/west there.

Anyone else get a Feb 2021 vibe from this or just me?

Hmmm. I don’t remember that one. Over-performer I take it?

Tantalizingly close on the GFS...

The latest RAP keeps bringing moisture in further West each run. Tries to bring some snow right up the escarpment just after midnight.

Incredibly. If I remember correctly, it was barely forecasted to be advisory level and I ended up with about 4.5” inches of heavy wet snow. The models right up until go time just couldn’t grasp the upslope flow into the foothills. I believe that storm happened the Saturday night before the Super Bowl.

Bust here only 1.5

Still need 75-100 miles to get decent accumulation. We'll see how close the Euro is.

Yeah we were too far north to get the heavy rates.

Another tick west by the AI GFS

Temperatures might be a concern even here.
