By Thursday night accumulations on the valley floor could exceed a foot with upwards of two feet in the nearby mountains, including the Salt and Wyoming Ranges The Tetons could see even greater totals of 3-4 feet.
Systems will be moving rapidly across the area in the very strong Polar Jet making it difficult to time the periods of increased snowfall rates after Thursday. However, snow will continue to fall through the coming weekend with additional significant amounts likely.
Below is a graphic with the forecast of snowfall totals by Friday morning.
