Forecast for Thursday 1/19 - Friday 1/20

Heavy snow has been falling for two days in the Pyrenees, and we have another two days more to come. Another 30-50 cms are possible through Friday. Resorts could surpass 2m by the end of this this storm. Below are the additional totals forecasted by the European model in the Pyrenees.

The Alps will see additional heavy snow during this time, most widespread in the eastern Alps, where 15-30 cms are possible. 

Forecast for Saturday 1/21 - Wednesday 1/25

The strong upper level low responsible for the insane snow totals in the Pyrenees will eventally move south and stall over southern Italy. This will cause moisture to stream into the Austrian Alps from the south, bringing moderate to heavy snow through Wednesday. Right now, the heaviest snow looks to fall from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Over 30ms possible in the higher elevations while 15-30 cms will gradually pile up over this time. Below is the European snowfall forecast for the Austrian Alps during this time.

Forecast for Thursday 1/26 - Saturday 1/28

Some light snow is possible for the Alps on the 26th before another heavier push of moisture is possible on Friday. The Pyrenees should see more snow out of this event also. This storm has the potential to drop another 20-40 cms.

I will have more details on both of these storms in a few days.
