TODAY'S FORECAST - INCREASING CLOUDS! 64°F 10:00AM

INCREASING CLOUDS! 64°F 10:00AM Hey hey Giovanni here. High clouds are on the increase as expected as a trough approaches the coast with a chance of rain developing tonight. It won't be as warm today, but we will be dry. Today's temps may reach the mid 60s with overnight lows in the mid 40s.

Sierra snow will start above 7000ft late tonight but lower to around 5500ft by Wednesday afternoon behind a cold front. The Sierra may see 4-8" of snow above 7000ft. We may see half an inch of rain in town. It's not expected to be an overly wet storm as the bulk of it is expected to miss us as it the Low drops south along the coast. Only a few showers are expected by early Thursday with a break before the next storm arrives late Friday. This system is still looking weak as the majority of it may stay to our north. The forecast remains wet off and on as another chance of rain arrives late Sunday into Monday, bringing us only showers. More on that soon.

The long range forecast looks wet off and on as we approach the end of March. This stormy wet weather pattern is typical of March and doesn't look particularly strong or that wet. Time is running out on our wet season. March typically bring us 9.37" of rain, so far we have only 3.25", but we may add another inch or two before April. I don't see us turning super wet anytime soon. Time will tell. Have a totally awesome Tuesday.
