Our third and final storm in the latest series will approach the area today with clouds and winds increasing throughout the day, a few light showers are possible this morning, becoming likely during the afternoon. Cool and windy with a high near 40 degrees, southwest winds gusting 15-25 mph during the afternoon. Another cutoff low and associated cold front will move into the region with rain and snow developing, possibly heavy at times tonight. The snow level will start out around 6,500-7,000 feet, lowering to near 6,000 feet tonight, then hovering around 6,500 feet tomorrow and Saturday. With most of the Big Bear Valley sitting at about 6,800 feet, chances are good for some decent snowfall, but just a few hundred feet will make a big difference in rain vs. snow. At this time, this looks like more of a snowy event for us with snow showers continuing under a wrap-around flow on Friday, tapering off Saturday morning. Total snowfall accumulations of 4-8 inches look likely, with isolated higher amounts near a foot or more possible, especially above 7,000 feet. Travelers should be prepared if traveling into the mountains through the weekend. Always pack extra food, water, warm clothing, have a full tank of gas and carry tire chains! High pressure will begin to build over the area on Sunday as this storms exits paving the way for a gorgeous Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. At this time, no additional storms are on radar until around early December.
