Dry Pattern:

The forecast models show the dry weather pattern lasting through Saturday.

Sunday & Beyond:

The long-range models continue to show the pattern beginning to shift during the last few days of January into the first week of February. We could see a week system or two move through from the north Sunday through next Tuesday the 30th. That could bring some snow and travel delays through the Sierra.

The pattern could remain more active through the 1st week of February with some wetter storms possible. We'll continue to watch the trends as we get closer with more details on potential travel impacts.
