Lots of tropical moisture is streaming northeast across the region today ahead of a vigorous low-pressure system of the Central California coast. This low will roll inland across Central California tomorrow, bringing rain and higher elevation snowfall. While the snow level should come down to around 6,000 feet sometime Wednesday, the bulk of the precipitation will have passed, with only a couple inches of snow possible. However, resorts could pick up a few inches of snow with rainfall amounts generally under a half inch, with locally an inch or more on the lower coastal slopes. This will open the door for a broader pattern change across the West that should lead to our first significant round of wintry weather next week, with lower snow levels and some hefty accumulations possible. Expect mostly cloudy skies out there today with highs in the lower 50s. A few sprinkles are possible with west winds increasing 10-20 mph, gusts near 35 are possible through tonight. As this low moves into the area, expect showers to develop overnight with scattered showers continuing on Wednesday. We should get a 2-4 hr window of steadier precip. during the morning, turning showery by afternoon with a few isolated thunderstorms possible. Cooler and windy tomorrow with highs in the 40s. The snow level will start out near 8,000 feet but could dip to around 6,500 feet by Wednesday afternoon. Showers will taper off with clearing skies on Thursday, though we'll stay cool and breezy through Saturday with highs in the 40s as lows drop into the 20s and 30s. Our next major series of storms is forecast to arrive on Sunday with snow, possibly heavy at times through early next week. This should be a much colder series of storms with the snow level falling as low as 3,000-4,000 feet with preliminary estimates over 1 foot possible, maybe more, though confidence is low at this point. Will fine-tune the forecast throughout the week, so check back for the latest!
