Wet, Windy, & Wild...
Summary
- We have partly sunny skies into Tuesday with highs only in the 20’s. We could see a flake or two from passing clouds. Ridgetop winds gusting 30-40+ mph. - Tuesday night through Thursday night a warm storm moves in. Snow levels starting as low as 4,500 feet Tuesday night but then rising as high as 8,000 feet by Wednesday night. Then falling Thursday into Thursday night as the storm moves out. We could see 2-4 feet of snow on the mountains above 8,000 feet, but a thicker snow quality. At 7,000 feet we could see 10-20 inches of snow, but with rain in the middle. At lake level, we could see a few inches Tuesday night into Wednesday morning before a change to rain, and maybe a couple inches at the end. High winds with ridgetop gust well in excess of 100 mph. - A cold system working down the coast Friday through the weekend could bring a few days of lighter snow showers with light amounts of snow possible each day. - The week of the 18th we may transition into a drier pattern with inside slider type systems brushing us with light snow. - The week of the 25th we could transition into a completely dry pattern.
