Do you know there is a NOAA buoy in Hawaii that predicts the weather in the Rocky Mountains (specifically) the weather in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake.

The buoy “pops” when low pressure creates large waves…and this has high correlation to snow in the intermountain west.

My next leg of trip — will be weather dependent. Looking a snowpack and forecast in the Western US

Snow depth in Rocky Mountain West (been a tough year for Colorado and UT).
But long range forecast is promising. Multiple storms piling up. And the powderbuoy is popping!

My Go-To weather apps:

Meteoblue: I was recently put back on this by IMGA guide Ben Markhart. I also used it quite a bit in Europe. Nice to compare these models to those of NOAA.

I also like the point of Weather Underground

I use the open snow app and the pinpoint forecasts as well. More in the winter…but starting to use in summer as well…
