DRYNG OUT, BUT NOT FOR LONG! 42°F 7:30 AM Hey hey Giovanni here. Skies are clearing as that storm that brought us mostly light showers ejects east. The next storm upstream is not expected to arrive until Friday. Expect today's daytime highs in the mid 50s and overnight lows in low 40s.
A strong and dynamic storm arrives on Friday and with it bringing gusty winds heavy rain and Sierra snow mostly above 7000ft, lasting through Sunday as several waves of moisture move ashore as it taps into an atmospheric river. Snow levels look to drop 5500ft on Sunday as colder unstable air filters inland. The possibility for valley thunderstorms reaching us will be there, but there's no telling where they will develop at this time. In total we may receive 2-3" of rain before this system clears late Sunday. Monday into Tuesday look dry and sunny, Wednesday still looks a bit flip floppy, but overall we look to remain dry.
The long range forecast looks to bring us an extended break next week. We may be dry until the 4th week of December. More on that soon.
