Summary

- We have partly sunny skies to start Tuesday with highs only in the 20’s. Increasing clouds in the afternoon with the chance for light snow showers by evening. Ridgetop winds increasing to 80+ mph. - Tuesday night into Friday morning warm storm moves in. Snow levels starting as low as 5,000 feet Tuesday night but then rising to 7,000 Wednesday morning, 8,500 by Wednesday evening, and then falling on Thursday below lake level. 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 1-3 feet of snow, but with rain in the middle. At lake level, we could see 1-3 inches Tuesday night before a change to rain, and maybe 6-12 inches at the end. High winds with ridgetop gust well in excess of 100 mph. - A cold system working down the coast Friday will continue the snow and falling snow levels. A final wave dropping in Sunday could keep the snow showers going before ending Sunday night. Snow levels as low as 2,000 feet over the weekend. That means we could see 1-3 feet of powdery snow on the mountains Friday-Sunday. - The week of the 18th we may transition into a cold but drier pattern, with inside slider type systems possibly brushing us with light snow. - The week of the 25th we could transition into a completely dry pattern.
