SUNNY AND CLEAR! 49°F 10:30 AM Hey hey Giovanni here. Storminess will remain to our south today as the next round winter like weather arrives late tonight. Expect today's daytime highs in the low 60s with overnight lows in the low 40s.

Monday will bring us the next chance of rain and Sierra snow as a strong winter like storm slams NorCal with gusty winds, moderate rain and up to 12" of snow above 4500ft. Snow levels may dip below 3000ft on Monday night into Tuesday morning, but no accumulation in town is expected. Low pressure offshore looks to remain the dominant weather feature over the next week or so. Showers will be possible right through next weekend as several weak systems rounds the bottom of the trough.
