First glimpse of the forecast for the Utah Mini.

[Red Baron]

First, a caveat; I would never put this forecast on TV, or share it with the general public.

Second, this is based on the GFS- which runs out to 16 days - but is generally only used for 3 to 10 day forecasting.

Third, my confidence decreases with every day past #10.

Still...

The green on this map over Utah for the weekend of 12/17-18-19/04 is a very good sign! As long as that low pressure center develops over Northern California, you'll see lots of smiles around here...it's the one with "303" on it.

Yum. Does it look like anything, even minor, is working its way toward Utah between now and then? Well done and thank you very much.

How's it looking for snow in the valley? I wanna get my backyard jib steeze on, yah heard?

[Trackhead]

Thanks, I have someone coming out on the 20th. Two weeks is a ways away, but better than nothing.

One way or another, there will be plenty of snow.

[Stoysluttie1]

[UTdave]

So the mini isn't this weekend it's next. How'd I manage to get that confused? Anyway good job RB keep 'em coming

[Mcwop]

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I'm not headed to the mini, but I am just curious about that big green spot over the north east...how do you tell if its rain or snow or is this just a precipitation map?
