Our last storm in the latest series will slowly exit the area overnight with snow showers tapering off. Very cold and windy with west winds gusting 20-30 mph, making for treacherous travel conditions, be safe out there and carry those chains. Expect a chilly finish to the week under partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-30s as overnight lows drop into the teens; a few locations may reach the single digits. High pressure will return this weekend leading to much calmer conditions and warmer temperatures, a perfect bluebird weekend! Expect daytime highs back into the mid-40s on Saturday, warming to around 50 degrees on Sunday, while lows remain in the teens. At this time, our weather looks dry through early next week with above-normal temperatures. Another storm is possible by around midweek, but the latest model runs have been trending drier for our area. If you have travel plans this week in the mountains, be prepared for dangerous, winter weather driving conditions, and always carry tire chains! R2 restrictions remain in effect on all mountain roads at this time. For the most up-to-date chain restriction information, check socalmountains.com (click here)
