Another cold low-pressure system off the California coast will move east this morning with a cold front sweeping through the area. Snow showers will continue, heavy at times, decreasing later this morning. The snow level could drop as low as 3,000 feet with additional accumulations around a foot or more possible. Strong, damaging winds will also accompany this storm, with gusts over 50 mph possible, making for extremely treacherous travel in blizzard-like conditions, travel is not recommended! The heavier snowfall will become more showery later this morning through the afternoon, continuing into Thursday as one last disturbance moves through the area. Our broad troughing along the West Coast will slide east on Friday, allowing some weak ridging over the weekend. Expect fair and warmer weather on Saturday and Sunday as highs make it back into the 40s, a nice opportunity to dig out. Additional storms are possible next week, but the details are unknown at this time. A quick check shows potentially higher snow levels with the storm on Monday as we tap into another atmospheric river. If you have travel plans this week in the mountains, be prepared for dangerous driving conditions in near white-out and blizzard-like 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)
