| Looking at a very nice weekend out there with well above-average temperatures, a few high clouds, and dry conditions, for now. A powerful Pacific storm complete with an atmospheric river will soak Northern and Central California in the coming days slowly digging southward through next week. This system will weaken a bit as it arrives in Southern California with cool, windy & wet weather forecast over the second half of the week. Expect a few high clouds this evening with light winds as lows cool to the 30's. We'll remain under mostly sunny skies Sunday with highs reaching the lower 60's. Southwest winds increasing 10-20 mph, gusty during the afternoon. Minor change on Monday as temperatures remain above normal with gusty west winds to 30 mph at times. This storm system will finally drop south on Tuesday with clouds and winds on the increase throughout the day, cooler with highs in the 50's. Rain and snow showers will develop by Tuesday night with rain likely on Wednesday. At this time, it looks like the snow level will start out around 8,000 feet, lowering to near 7,000 feet later Wednesday or Thursday then down around 6,000 feet by Friday, so a fairly wet system. Rainfall amounts of around a half inch can be expected with locally up to an inch on the lower coastal slopes with several inches of snow also possible above 7,000 feet, up at resort level. This forecast is subject to change so check back often for updates, be prepared if planning travel into the mountains, and always carry tire chains!
