| After and cool and breezy day yesterday expect fair and warmer conditions through the end of the week as high pressure aloft strengthens. A powerful winter storm impacting the Pacific Northwest will drench Northern California with an atmospheric river before weakening as it digs south into our area this weekend. Looking at mostly clear skies out there today with light winds as highs climb into the mid 50's. Clear tonight with calm winds and lows in the 20's. Sunny and warmer tomorrow and Friday as daytime temperatures top out around 60 degrees, well above average. Enjoy it, cooler more unsettled weather will arrive over the weekend as a new storm approaches the area. At this time, clouds and winds are expected to increase throughout the day on Saturday. Cooler with highs in the lower 50's, southwest winds gusting to around 30 mph late. Showers could develop Saturday night with rain likely on Sunday. Atmospheric rivers are inherently warmer, so as usual the snow level may start out at or above 8,000 feet, falling to around 6,000-7,000 feet by Sunday night or Monday. Highs will cool to the 40's as overnight lows remain in the 20's. Preliminary rainfall amounts of around a quarter inch are possible with a couple inches of snow also possible, mainly above 7,000 feet. Showers will taper off on Monday ahead of another storm that could impact the region Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. If you have travel plans into the mountains for opening weekend at Snow Summit, be prepared and carry tire chains. Weather conditions can change rapidly in the mountains and traveling could become treacherous on Sunday!
