Dry Pattern Continues:

The latest forecast model runs continue to keep CA in a dry pattern through the 30th. The next hint at any type of storm isn't until at least the 31st of January. We will let you know more details once a storm is within the 1-week window.

Long-Range:

The last day of January into the 1st week of February the long-range models are showing the pattern shifting. We could start to see weak systems around the 31st. We will continue to watch the forecasts closely...

Stay tuned as we will let you know when we could see the next storm that could affect travel through the Sierra. I won't be posting another update until we have storms within the 7-day window that could affect travel.
