  • Evolution of a Wasatch Mountain Winter Storm Cycle
    1018 WEATHER AND FORECASTING VOLUME 18 One Hundred Inches in One Hundred Hours: Evolution of a Wasatch Mountain Winter Storm Cycle W. J AMES STEENBURGH NOAA/Cooperative Institute for Regional Prediction, and Department of Meteorology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah (Manuscript received 29 August 2002, in ®nal form 6 May 2003) ABSTRACT Synoptic, orographic, and lake-effect precipitation processes during a major winter storm cycle over the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah are examined using radar imagery, high-density surface data, and precip- itation observations from Alta Ski Area [2600±3200 m above mean sea level (MSL)] and nearby Salt Lake City International Airport (1288 m MSL). The storm cycle, which occurred from 22 to 27 November 2001, included two distinct storm systems that produced 108 in. (274 cm) of snow at Alta Ski Area, including 100 in. (254 cm) during a 100-h period. Each storm system featured an intrusion of low equivalent potential temperature (ue) air aloft, well in advance of a surface-based cold front. Prefrontal precipitation became increasingly con- vective as low-ue air aloft moved over northern Utah, while cold frontal passage was accompanied by a convective line and a stratiform precipitation region. Postfrontal destabilization led to orographic and lake-effect snow- showers that produced two-thirds of the observed snow water equivalent at Alta. Storm stages were de®ned based on the passage of the above features and their accompanying changes in stability and precipitation processes. Contrasts between mountain and lowland precipitation varied dramatically from stage to stage and storm to storm, and frequently deviated from climatology, which features a nearly fourfold increase in precipitation between Salt Lake City and Alta.
