UPDATE VIA OPENSNOW: Rain & Snow Starting Wednesday…

Summary

Mostly sunny and cold Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday we will see gusty winds and milder air with rain at times, with some snow above 8000-9000 ft. We could see significant snowfall over the weekend as colder air moves in. Snow showers and another storm are possible Thanksgiving week. Then we could see a drier pattern to start December.

Short Term Forecast

The upcoming week is going to be interesting and a lot of work for forecasters. After a pair of dry and cold days Monday – Tuesday, we are going to see a strong storm off the Pacific NW coast aim rain & snow at the northern Sierra for several days starting Wednesday.

Snowfall Reports:

The fast-moving front that swept through Sunday night looks to have delivered the lower end of the forecast with a dusting to an inch of new snow across the mountains. The final forecast put out Saturday was for 0-3 inches for the mountains.
