January 29th Forecast Graphic and short term snowfall discussion

1/29/2017

0 Comments

 

The forecast graphic shows the forecast for the 29th however it is a bit misleading as additional snow will fall overnight and tomorrow. The cause is a weak low pressure system moving northward allowing for the ocean enhanced snow to kick into gear resulting in snow showers increasing in coverage and intensity across not only Hokkaido but also Hakuba.

By morning the highest elevations of Hakuba can expect anywhere from 10 to 20cm of wet snow (below 1000 snow totals will greatly decrease due to a rain/snow mix). Snow will be drier, but lighter in Hokkaido with totals by morning of 5-10cm in Rusutsu, 4 to 9 in Niseko, 9 to 13 in Kiroro, and 4 to 12 in Furano with the highest amounts above 650m. More snow will fall throughout the day across Hokkaido with totals by evening on the 30th of:

Niseko: 15 to 25cm (Quality: Dry)
Kiroro: 15 to 30cm (Quality: Dry)
Rusutsu: 10 to 20cm (Quality:  Dry)
Furano Region: 15 to 25cm (Quality: Dry)
