Now on to the weather forecast. Multiple feet of snow is forecasted for mountain rages across the west. This is thanks to Atmospheric River events. Atmospheric Rivers are long, narrow regions in the atmosphere that transport most of the moisture from the tropics to higher latitudes. These ribbons of vapor can carry an amount of water vapor equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River and are crucial in determining precipitation patterns.
