An offshore flow will develop through midweek, generating gusty northeast winds at times, especially below passes and canyons. We won't have a ton of cold air advection to work with, which will result in warmer temperatures and a weak to moderate Santa Ana event. Expect mostly clear skies through Wednesday with east to northeast winds increasing to 10-20 mph, stronger gusts near 45 mph are possible below passes & canyons. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 50s through Thursday, while overnight lows drop into the 20s. Weak low pressure off Northern Baja will draw mid and upper-level moisture into the area late Thursday and Friday, with a few sprinkles or flurries possible; if nothing else, expect some high clouds and cooler temps on Friday. High pressure will flatten out and shift east this weekend, allowing the onshore flow to return for slightly cooler temperatures and higher humidity. This may also open the door for some cold and unsettled weather to return next week. At this time, the exact details are unknown, but appears more of an inside slider type system will pass by late Monday into Tuesday, bringing light showers to the area ahead of a cold front sweeping through the region on Wednesday. This go around, it looks unlikely we'll tap into a warmer atmospheric river with very preliminary snow level estimates starting out around 7,000 feet Monday afternoon, falling to around 5,500 Tuesday, and near 4,000 feet on Wednesday. Accumulations don't look overly impressive at this time, but several inches up to around a half a foot looks possible. Will have more details with time, so check back often for updates and always carry those chains if traveling to the mountains.
