At this time, the forecast remains on track for a series of winter storms to impact the area through much of next week, bringing our first significant snowfall of the season. For now, we're enjoying a gorgeous weekend out there with above-normal temperatures and dry weather. Clouds and winds will begin to increase on Sunday as our first storm approaches, windy and cooler with highs in the upper 40s, west winds gusting 10-20 mph during the afternoon. A cold Alaskan low will drop south off the California Coast on Monday, sending a series of storms into the area. The first will arrive on Monday with rain and snow showers developing during the morning, becoming heavy at times through Monday night. This first system will tap into an AR, but we're still looking at the snow level to begin around 6,500 feet, which we'll have to watch, it could be a very heavy, wet snow! Gusty west winds will also accompany this storm, with gusts of 35-45 mph possible at times, making for areas of reduced visibility and treacherous travel. Snow showers will become scattered on Tuesday as the snow level lowers to near 5,000 feet with highs in the 30s. The second, colder storm will arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing another round of snow, possibly heavy at times. The snow level with the last round should fall to around 4,000 feet, possibly lower. Daytime temperatures will struggle to get above freezing through the middle of the week, with overnight lows in the teens. Snow showers will taper off on Thursday as this broad trough of low pressure slides east, with dry weather returning by Friday. Total snowfall accumulations through next of 1–2 feet are likely above about 5,000 feet, with isolated higher amounts possible! If you have travel plans into the mountains next week for some freshy pow pow, be prepared for extremely hazardous, winter weather driving conditions and always carry those chains!
